Kirksey’s retirement is a loss for the Bills, but they have a number of talented linebackers on their roster. They should be able to find a way to replace Kirksey’s production and leadership.
WOW.
Another veteran retires from the #Bills, and an important one who offered depth to weaker position groups.
