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?
We could have had Joe Haden for less money. That's my first thought.
My second thought is that Kirkpatrick will probably have a decent year. He's never had a great season, so I expect a usual season from him.
