Happy with it. Would have expected on the 53. But interesting he was open to the PS initially. 

probably knows it’s temporary until he learns the system and gets acclimated here. 
 

great signing. He may not be the best lber but probably the best we can add at this point.

Why do I keep hearing on Twitter that Texan fans hate the guy? 

They should get their priorities in order as to who deserves hate in that organization...

Big issue with Kirksey will be his durability. He's suffered a bunch of soft tissue type of injuries over the past few years that have taken him out of the lineup.  Last year was an outlier for him with regards to health.

that's why it’s called PS.  They get hurt and no big deal.  If he could be depth for us, great.

last year:

124 tackles

7 TFL

3 sacks

2 Ints

 

What with the above isn't particularly good.

 

Compared to the $18m wonder who had the following for the Bills last year:

102 tackles

1 sack

1 Int

 

And yet no team cared to sign him to an active roster. Hmmmm. Those are really weak stats btw. It’s not like he didn’t have plenty of opportunities to make tackles and other plays on the Texans last season. They were on the field a lot. I’ve watched him play enough to know what kind of player he is.

Better than Dodson and Bernard w one arm tied behind his back, on Football IQ alone.

He sets a floor for all the others competing.  With Bernard getting healthy and Kirksey in the mix thing are better than they were last week.

very nice. Happy.

I believe PS players have the ability to decide to stay with the team/on the PS if someone does try to get him. Kinda like Free Agents.

Yeah I think that’s the case, just l hope that he decides to stay

I am glad to see this. I assume we will activate him once he is up to speed, but If someone tries to poach him while he is on the PS, we can move him to the active roster, correct?

That is correct. The current team can prevent a player from the practice squad of being poached from another team, by elevating said player to the active roster.

you are pretty negative. The guy isn’t a star but he is serviceable and better than probably all our current mlb. Can’t have stars at every position.

Given he chose the Bills while a FA, I'd imagine that choice would stick. 🤞

Alright, the guy isn't Dick Butkus or Jack Lambert, but I will take him over Dodson.

Yeah but can he play backup QB? 

 

Yes but not well but that may be good enough for you.

Fair enough 

[Draconator]

He has to learn our terminology to call the plays and signals on the field. Give him some time to get comfortable with that. 

[Goin Breakdown]

If he's soooooo great why isn't he with the Jets?

 

 

 

(don't take that seriously please.)

Is that for all players on PS or just a designated few? I thought they could only protect a couple players from being poached but it could change from week to week.
