Kirksey   124 tackles, 3 sacks, 7 TFL,  7 QB hits, 2 INT  last season 

Pff gave him a below average grade but I don’t trust their scores 100%. It was a bad team.

Browns released G Michael Dunn. 

 

Started the last two years.  Might not be a bad depth signing to go along with Bates

 

Bills have more depth at G than they can keep already.

vastly better numbers than edmunds.... whats this guy cost? 

 

[DJB]

Kirksey is more suited to be a downhill run stuffing MLB. 
 

However he is still an upgrade over Klein and Dodson at that spot

Yes please to Kirksey.  Get 'er done Poyer and Hyde!

In 2022 he signed a 2 year $10M deal with Houston according to SPOTRAC.

 

I would think he would be in that $3M-$5M/yr window.

Yea he isn't a perfect fit by any means. But man I like his floor better than the floor of the guys we have in here.

The Bills were in on signing him a few years ago, and it really makes you wonder whether he was in contention to potentially succeed Edmunds.

 

I think he would be a better fit for the team than Dodson or Klein.

Maybe but he’s always been a 3 down LB, including last season. So if he can’t do it anymore this would be the first season.

He started some games,  but he wasn't a starter.  He's decent, and can hold his own for a couple games if needed.

No doubt he’s an upgrade over what we have

I’m sorry but this is one of the most brain dead posts. The way people go out of their way to bash edmunds is truly idiotic. Those numbers were on one of the worst defenses in the nfl. Edmunds played on consistently top 3 defense. I swear some of you have no idea what MLBs are supposed to do. 
 

but all the Edmunds are right.  That’s why this guy (solid player on bad teams) is getting released and edmunds is making $18 mil/ year.

 

this is starting to reek of the bigger bills fans ripping the Pats for signing that bum Gilmore to a big contract. Some of the dumbest takes ever.

I’ve been here long enough for posters to understand im primarily a parody account. 
 

Regardless though Edmunds never had great numbers with the Bills and that can’t be defended

MLB of a consistently top 3 defense is the numbers that really matter. MLBs don’t blitz or rack up sacks. Guys who are good in coverage or have a reputation for if don’t get a chance to make a lot of picks. 
 

personally, I think TE was best suited as a OLB, which is much more instinctive position, and would have been one of the best in the nfl. But to act like he wasn’t a super important part of this defense is dumb. 
 

it’s why we are taking about getting guys off the scrap heap to replace him.
