Bills Hosting LB Christian Kirksey

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that free agent LB Christian Kirksey is visiting with the Bills on Friday. 

Kirksey has already visited with the Raiders and Packers since being released earlier in the week.

A prior report mentioned that the Bills are another team interested in the veteran’s services for 2020, so this doesn’t come as a big surprise. 

It’s worth mentioning that signing Kirksey to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2021 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.

Kirksey, 27, is a former third-round pick of the Browns back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $3.04 million contract when he agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $38 million and includes $20 million guaranteed.

Kirksey was set to make a base salary of $7.75 million for the 2020 season when the Browns released him this offseason. 

In 2019, Kirksey appeared in two games and recorded 11 tackles for the Browns before being placed on injured reserve.
