Christian Kirksey's early out from the Cleveland Browns might allow the team to offer a reduced contract to the veteran linebacker, depending on how things go for the team as well as the player.
Nobody was angry with Kirksey, and Kirksey has had two years to prepare for the possibility that the Browns might not want him at the high level he was being paid at. Although disappointed by the loss of millions of dollars, he and his agent, highly respected Jonathan Perzley of SportStars, are realists. This is purely a business move, and there is no acrimony on either side.
