[ncfan]

 

Wouldnt mind bringing him in on a cheap deal as a stop gap after Bradberry walked

                                                           Bengals cut former first-round pick Dre Kirkpatrick

Kirkpatrick, a first-round pick in the 2012 draft, spent eight years with the Bengals. The former Alabama product started six games at outside cornerback for Cincinnati in 2019 before he suffered a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 10.

During his time in Cincinnati, he started 67 games and made 99 appearances. He tallied 10 interceptions and 65 pass deflections.

On Tuesday, Kirkpatrick posted a goodbye note on Instagram, thanking the city and his former teammates.

"Dre was a part of the Bengals' organization for many years, and displayed passion, energy and competitiveness both on and off the field," Bengals coach Zac Taylor said in a statement. "We appreciate his many contributions to our team and community over the years, and wish him the best moving forward."

Kirkpatrick's release comes after Cincinnati's massive spending spree during free agency, in which the Bengals added cornerbacks Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander. Kirkpatrick's contract was set to expire in 2021; releasing him will give the Bengals $8.3 million in cap savings in 2020.

I would be extremely happy to get anyone signed that has started in the NFL at this point. We have Jackson and that’s it. We really need to get Cockrell back, and I see no way we don’t snag a CB in the draft within the first three rounds.

     Damn. As A Steelers fan I’m going to miss him twice a year. Don’t waste valuable cap space on a player who defines underachiever.

Do whatever makes you feel special. Just make sure you don’t actually say anything that might explain your stance. That poo button is basically.saying you’re incapable or too ignorant to make a point.

I would rather see a gaggle of nobodies fighting it out in camp over this guy. I don't expect to fix the team in 1 offseason and would rather not rely on guys like this. I'm fine with cheaper and less talented options for a year if we can't get a playable CB in the draft. 

If we are trying to create a new culture, I want to be as far away from Cincinnati players as possible.

I always laugh at the "I wouldn't mind bringing him in here for cheap" crowd. You know who would mind? Kirkpatrick.

If we could get a solid CB, I’d feel a lot better going into the draft...

Did your meme light a fart?

He is 30 and probably on the down side of his career.  A 1 year deal---or let your CBs get rookie experience (Remember Worley?  I think he is available.)
