Yeah just posted this in my mock offseason thread. I think it's a very realistic possibility. I projected us to sign Dennard in my mock. Zim didnt draft him but he was drafted by Cincy the year Zim left so he's still familiar with the system. However, Kirkpatrick probably makes more sense because Zim was there when he was drafted and coached him for a few years. I'm all for the signing because Kirkpatrick is still a quality corner and would be a good veteran presence in a young CB room. I wouldnt be surprised at all if we go after him hard AND Kirkpatrick would want to play for Zim again.

He was making about 9 million a year. Is he someone we can afford?
Certainly not going to sign for league minimum. Like we offered Roby.

Also he missed half of last season with a knee injury, that would have to be checked out.

Reading up on him, he has terrible ball skills (right up Zimmers' alley), but is a poor tackler, which makes him a no for Zimmer's D. He barely played the 2 seasons he was with Zimmer in Cincy, despite being the 17th overall pick. Doesn't seem like Zim was his biggest fan.
