Cards to sign Dre Kirkpatrick

[PACardsFan]

Just saw this reported on Bleacher.

 

[PACardsFan]

Pending a physical, he'll be a Cardinal soon.

Where are the people who were blasting the last two cb signings saying the team wouldn’t upgrade further? Great job Keim!!!

Solid pickup.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Club being proactive.

 

[Redsz]

Yes!

Keim & the Cards aren't messing around this year. They seem to be all in, which they should be, with Kyler's rookie contract years.

Sweet Keim time signing. Seems like the FO is trying to make a good run at it this year, glad to see it. Should hopefully be up to speed quick due to VJ familiarity.

Only concern is that he finished the last two seasons on IR. But injuries weren’t related and he has been durable for the rest of his career.

I'm finding it hard to reconcile this

If he's that good over 20 yards how bad do PFF think he is under for these grades?

He's probably not real good, but after all 20+ yard throws aren't really that common so I don't think that affects the grade that much.

It's a good signing since they probably weren't going to play Chris Jones, I am pretty sure he is an upgrade over the rest of our CB's

I'm interested to see him. He apparently has a good relationship with Vance.

I'm intrigued to see how he performs. PFF doesn't rate him highly but fans generally seem to think he's good.

Be interesting to see which is right.

Probably should watch his games for yourself instead of relying on others, idk.

Who has hours to watch full games from an 8 year career? And highlights are just that.

This is well worth a read. I think it says everything you need to know about him.

The sum of which is.

Great guy
Good pro
Press love him. Always willing and available
Willing to help youngsters
Good in coverage
Absolutely dreadful tackler by all accounts
Injury prone (knee)

 

[cardsfanmd]

He’s not a world beater but he knows the defense and can help us significantly more than whoever’s roster spot he took.

 

[Mainstreet]

I so like the Cardinals being proactive. Really like the signing.

From Arizona Sports:


Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has experience working with Kirkpatrick from when Joseph was the Bengals’ defensive backs coach in 2014 and 2015.

Kirkpatrick will be among those fighting for Alford’s playing time at a cornerback position.

In a corresponding move, the team announced they released cornerback Duke Thomas.

right here! stoked! is he the greatest corner in the world? no... but that guy doesn't exist right now in FA. solid stitch work on the long suffering wound that is the #2 CB spot. much better than the band-aids I was expecting.

For one PFF sucks. I think watching the player with your own eyes is the best way to tell.

If he offers the same level of play of Antonio Cromartie I ll be happy

 

[BritCard]

Seems like a real good dude

[Vacard]

Then why he was a FA? CB’s are a premium position. Contract issues? Injury concern?

edit: ahh he’s 30.
