I really expected him in Buffalo but I didn’t expect a 2 year $16M deal. Kirksey is a good player when healthy. With the Bills he would be a part-time player though. That feels like too much for the role he would have played.

Pass way too expensive for an often Injured player.

Agree on the pass.  Injury issues for 2/6 years - not sure if often injured or unlucky.

I might be in the minority here, but I think his deal is relatively fair.  I don’t see him as fair to be labeled injury prone when his last injury isn’t the kind of reoccurring and just bad luck most likely.  He was healthy first 4 years.  
 

Stafford was labeled fragile because he had a couple bad luck injuries to start his career.  Then went a long time before getting hurt again.  Sometimes in a violent game you get a couple injuries close to each other.  I’m not so quick to label a guy injury prove over that, especially if it’s not consistent ticky tack stuff.

 

But I also won’t lose sleep over this, but just do think his contract was reasonable based on his level of play before the last 2 years got shortened.

For a full-time LB'er like he'll be with the Pack but not here, it's a fair deal.  Health-willing, of course.  But time will tell on that one.
