Dre Kirkpatrick out in Cincinnati

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.

EDITOR'S PICKS

"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.

Wish i could poo this post more.

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 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. 

Did your meme light a fart?

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
