Makes minor impact again in 2023
Kirkwood caught five of nine targets for 37 yards and one touchdown across 13 games during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
Kirkwood played in a career-high 13 games, and his 225 offensive snaps tied his previous career high from his 2018 rookie campaign. The 30-year-old also caught a touchdown for the first time since 2018; but, he still failed to log more than five receptions for the fifth year in a row, totaling just 11 catches in 23 games during this span. Kirkwood signed a one-year, $1.01 million contract with the Saints in February of 2023, and he was released before re-signing with the team shortly thereafter in mid-November. He should be set to hit free agency this coming offseason.

Kirkwood appeared in five games while bouncing back and forth between the Saints' practice squad and active roster last season, catching two of four targets over this span. The 28-year-old did sign a one-year extension this offseason, but he'll likely need to fight for a roster spot again after the team added free-agent wideouts James Washington and Bryan Edwards along with rookie A.T. Perry this offseason.
