CINCINNATI BENGALS – DRE KIRKPATRICK, CORNERBACK
The Bengals invested a tremendous amount in Dre Kirkpatrick, making him their first-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Then, upon expiration of his rookie contract, Cincinnati signed him to a five-year, $52.5 million deal with a $7 million singing bonus and $12 million guaranteed. And while those numbers aren’t obscene for a top-end cornerback, Kirkpatrick recorded only three interceptions last season (nine in his career) and finished outside the top 50 at his position courtesy of Pro Football Focus.
Thoughts?
I think it is a fair contract for both sides. Why do fans out their faith in PFF? You do realize they have no clue on the roles and responsibilities play by play for any player. How do we put 100% faith in an analysis system that is severely flawed?
The top CB's make almost twice as much with bigger guaranteed money so I have no issues paying him 50 to 60% of what the top guys make and will make in the future as the cap escalates so will CB contracts.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
