The Green Bay Packers have wasted little time making moves in free agency. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Packers have signed linebacker Christian Kirksey to a two-year, $16 million deal.
The Packers had visited with Kirksey, who was already a free agent after being released by the Cleveland Browns last week.
This move comes as no surprise considering the team’s big need at inside linebacker. This is an area the Packers needed to strengthen this offseason, and now they have.
Kirksey has been hit with injuries over the past two seasons, but if he can stay healthy, he can be an excellent starter in the middle of Mike Pettine’s defense.
