Kirksey signing with the Bills PS

So Bernard gets the Week 1 start. I wonder how far out Kirksey is from being able to play?...

He might be called up to play but just be a backup.

I don't think it's going to happen that quickly or that cheaply. Shaq and Jordan got decent contracts from other teams, but nothing like what Edmunds got in Chicago.

 

If it doesn't work out in Chicago, another team will still pay a good amount for him based on his attributes, thinking they can make it work there. Maybe that team will be us. But it's not going to be a Phillips or Lawson situation where he comes back for pennies without competition from other teams.

 

Decent points but I can see a scenario where after three years Edmonds is cut from the Bears for not living up to the contract but is still a startable MLB. By 2027 he will still only be 29 and I can see him signing a one-year deal with the Bills to try to rebuild his value and get one more multi-year deal. It won't be a come back for peanuts deal like Shaq and to a lesser extend Phillips but it won't be pricing himself out of a possible Bills return either.
