NO!!

I like RK as a person and what he brings to the team in terms of showing younger guys how to take care of themself.

With that said assuming we have a 4-3 move incoming I'm not sure I see a place for him on the roster. I don't want him to bulk up to become a 4-3 defensive end, and I'm not sure I like him as an outside linebacker roaming in space most of the time.

Kerrigan was a great 4-3 DE in college. He might be a very good player at that position.

He's also 31 and just spent a decade at outside linebacker. Even if he is very good, I'm not betting on him having long term success at the position. And we're already stacked at starting ends with Ionnadis and Allen. Doubt Kerrigan wants to be a backup at this stage of his career too.

Only way I see Kerrigan staying is as an outside linebacker with more coverage responsibilities. That's not a good look for him at this stage of his career.
