Report: Buffalo Bills Veteran Set To Retire

 

The Buffalo Bills are off to an up-and-down start to the 2023 season, as they're 1-1 through two weeks of action, and now, it appears that their defence is about to take a major hit after plenty of expectations were placed on them in the pre-season.

After a solid career in the NFL with several teams, veteran linebacker Christian Kirksey has now informed the Bills that he intends to retire immediately, after a successful stint in the NFL after being drafted in the third-round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
