Christian Kirksey Potential Extension
Kirksey has found a stable role with the Texans, playing the third-highest snap count of his career. He typically averages between two and three sacks per year and is more of a tackler, which saw him land 119 tackles in 2022.
If Kirksey can continue finding success within the Texans’ defensive system, there’s no reason he won’t find himself with a similar contract to the one he signed before the 2022 season. A soon-to-be 31-year-old free agent, Kirksey could be looking for another two-year deal with around $6 million per season.
