Cut Dre Kirkpatrick or nah?


Recommended Posts

Dre Kirkpatrick trash talked Jeremy Hill after he bashed Bengals fans so, he gets another year.

 

In all seriousness, the guy just isn't very good and the Bengals have been waiting seven years for the light to come on. The Bengals defense gave 4,414 passing yards in 2018. No, this wasn't all on Flagpatrick. WJIII didn't have the kind of season most expected, Dennard missed a bunch of games and the linebacker corp was one of the worst coverage units in modern day history. Changes are needed and you can't pay a guy $11 million to be average at best. The Bengals can pick up $6.75 million against the cap and move on.

 

I get the other side of the argument. If you cut 3rd and Dre, who gives up all the first downs, commits the costly PI and defensive holding calls and beats his chest after making a tackle 15 yards down the field on 3rd and 10?!? The answer is somebody else. Don't pay someone 6% of your salary cap to do it.

 

The Bengals have a lot of holes to fill this offseason and they are notoriuously cheap in free agency and with the cap but, you can't let that sway your logic. The kid is GAH-bage. Time Firstpatrick patrols another secondary. Likely in the CFL.
