He wasn't the 11th overall pick for nothing and he can tackle ten times as good as Kirkpatrick.

Age makes a leveraging factor.  Waynes will be 28 this season, while Kirkpatrick will turn 31.  Waynes has played in 74 games in 5 seasons, Kirkpatrick has played in 99 games over 8 seasons.  As I remember, Kirkpatrick began his career often injured, and only being able to play 6 games last season leads me to think that the team may have felt as Kirkpatrick's best years were behind him.
