Christian Kirksey agrees to deal with Packers

Linebacker Christian Kirksey has found a new home ahead of the start of the new league year.

Kirksey has agreed to a deal with the Packers after visiting Green Bay last week. His agents informed PFT that it is a two-year, $16 million deal. He’ll play for defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, who was his first head coach in the NFL after being drafted by the Browns.

Kirksey also visited with the Bills and Raiders before landing the deal with the Packers. He was released by the Browns earlier in the offseason, which left him free to sign with a team at any point.
