Many are just glad to see us sign someone and at a position of need.
For the situation we're in he is probably a good fit. Normally I wouldn't care about a 32 yr old on a 1 or 2 year deal. He's a stopgap, but since we have a lame duck coaching staff we likely aren't going to sign a 25 year old FA to a 3-4 yr contract.
Even Zimmer is on a one year deal. Kendricks played for him, knows his system and can lead his defense. I don't know what their plan is, if they have one, but they don't appear to be planning to make any moves beyond this year other than in the draft. Knowing this, this is probably the best we can expect.
