Not a fan of this move. Out of our top 3 free agents (Britt, Barksdale, Kendricks), LK is easily the most expendable. Harkey is ready to step up. The young guns—Bayer & Cunningham—are ready to step up too.
We save $11mm by getting rid of Bradford. If the #'s on the Kendricks deal are accurate, then we're using almost half of that saved $$$ on a TE who's really not that valuable. He's an OK blocker and catches a few passes... so what? Is it really hard to replace that?
We could have re-signed Barksdale for that price (or something around that price). Maybe we still will. I just think the money would've been better spent elsewhere. We really need to fix this o-line. Kendricks is no game changer.
