Kirk to Jaguars

[DVontel]

And this is an example of Steve Keim managing a roster correctly. You draft a player for a role. You see if that player can expand outside of that role. If you have doubts, you draft his replacement a year early, reevaluate, and then let that player get overpaid by another franchise. All that is left is Rondale increasing his snaps in the Kirk slot role.

See, I can give credit where credit is due.

Agreed.

I would love to see the Cardinals throw a low round pick to the Jags for Laviska Shenault. Just to see if he is now available. Great gadget player with a little more size.

Definitely not “great” but I see what you mean lol

 

[Totally_Red]

Wait what?!? How does the number keep increasing?!?

72 mill up to 84 with incentives

 

[sdscard4]

That's absolutely insane
56 catches and some drops gets you 84 mill. I would have lost my mind even if they gave him 12 lol

If he hits all of the incentives it could be worth $84M max value

18 per? That's absolutely insane. Good for Kirk. Jags are ********.

He may very well be the most overpaid player in the league, well maybe zeke has him beat.

 

[Dayman]

Are you saying you wanted to pay him 17 million just to keep him?

Absolutely not. $21 million/year for Kirk is insane money.

That doesn't mean that I am happy about having nothing to show from the draft 4 years ago, though.

I don't think losing Kirk creates a direct hole because Rondale can take over as the primary slot WR, but it does enhance the importance of replacing AJ Green with a better option outside.

Has there been a time when this strategy worked out for the Cards tho? Drafted Nkeimdiche as a hedge against losing Calais and we still hoping Calais comes back.

Plan works in theory as long as the guy on the come-up… you know… comes up.

Jaguars are giving former Cardinals WR Christian Kirk a four-year deal worth up to $84 million deal, per source.

 

[BritCard]

Absolutely not. $21 million/year for Kirk is insane money.

The 21 is with incentives. His base is 18. Still a lot.

I predict right now Rondale Moore will look like a seemless replacement next season.

I predict he’ll seem less like a replacement as the season wears on.

 

[Shane]

You're right more of an upgrade

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

Kirk spent time on the injured list also, he's tiny compared to Moore.

OK - time for Cupp to hold out for a new contract

 

[kerouac9]

There must’ve been a lot of excess yardage on film where Kyler missed Kirk running wide open.

At least Kirk won’t have to get used to performing under the spotlight.

Kirk has poor catch radius. And was never really explosive in open field or on punt returns as we had hoped.

I really don’t get this contract

Byron Leftwich is having a good week. First he gets Tom Brady for another season and then his refusal to coach the Jags if Trent Baalke remained as GM has just been validated to the nth degree.

[Jasper]

What? He’s yet to have a 1000 yard season or 80+ catches.

He can play but those numbers seem insane. 7 catches 104 yards and no TD's in the Jags game must have really impressed them.

Hats off to kirk those are huge numbers he'd have been crazy to take 11-13 to stay with us.
