I'm hesitant on Kirkpatrick in this FA.
-One one hand he finally turned into a decent starting CB.
-On the other hand, it took 5 years, and a contract year for that to happen... and he still has a bunch of dumb penalties.
I'm worried about all players who do nothing for a long time and then suddenly put it together in order to get paid for their contract year. We've all seen that happen a lot with other players throughout the NFL. If I am going to be paying #1 or high #2 CB money anyway, I would almost rather go after a Stephon Gilmore/Trumane Johnson, or see if the Patriots will match an offer for Malcome Butler (who's a RFA). It's looking like it will be a pretty darn strong CB FA market right now.
