Then you might want to find a new sport if you have that big of an issue with it because 32 out of 32 teams do this every year. Sign players whose primary role is ST.

That’s a pretty poor take on Barkley if you ask me. And I suspect 31 other GMs agree with me on that.

I am all for Kirk, he is just going to get a lot better offers elsewhere after whats happened already.

Kirk is going to get $12-14M per year, Beane isn't going to pay that. Adams and Godwin tagged. Mike Williams stayed with Chargers for $60M over 3 years. Kirks value was always very high, now its even higher.

I said it on January 11th...before they said that. Thanks for trying.

Which is what I said back on January 11th

Lol, called this 1 second after I read Wilson was traded. Younger, better version of what Wilson is today. Next week Watson will either be in high demand or his trade value will remain cold...this Friday is a big day for his immediate future in terms of the legal issues.

How is this possible? I was told by a bunch of people here this was impossible when I said Wentz was either done in Indy or will be competing for his job with another vet come training camp. Lol, I mean it was clear as day they didn't want to commit to him anymore when they did their year end press conferences. Like I said in that thread originally, I think Colts are potential landing spot for Trubisky. This increases that because I doubt they want to give up more draft capital to get someone like Jimmy G where chatter is it might take a first round pick now after all the QB movement. They could still make a move for Jimmy G too, but after what they gave up for Wentz and that not working out, I would think signing someone will be more appealing for this season at least.

Make. It. Stop.

All fair counter points, and pretty much agree with everything you said here.

Yeah I guess thats a fair point, just a lot for him IMHO opinion. That's paying for what he should be more than what hes been.

Hence why I’ve been saying no way Kirk comes here, he’s gonna get paid in this market. His price may have just jumped to $14m per now. $20m for an inconsistent and oft injured WR is crazy to me. It’s as bad as the Cooper deal was.

Seattle will get a better offer for DK. Next years first had a value of this years second. Someone will offer better than that for DK whose still on a rookie deal. So your plan is dead in the water right there.

Not out of the question they don’t want to trade him. But reports are he wants out already, so they still have to be able to resign him. If they don’t think they can, then might as well trade him and fuel the rebuilding process. They still have Lockett and also just landed Noah Fant in the Broncos trade too.

true, but I’m skeptical they want that much money invested at WR before they have a QB too. They already paid Lockett, and DK might walk when his deal is up next year. In fact he probably does walk as I doubt they wanna pay him and Lockett while rebuilding

Now that Russ is gone, DK trade could be legit option. I’d snag him in a heartbeat given he’s still on a rookie deal.

This the kind of stupid money going to these other guys. Kirk might get $14m if this is what’s happening with the other receivers. Bucs also tagged Godwin, and Packers tagged Adam’s. Kirk is definitely not coming here on the cheap. Too much demand and money out there for him.

Wonder what they gave to insure they beat out Raiders for third in division haha

Wonder what they gave up just to make sure they beat out the Raiders for third in the division

Yeah because they gave him all that money up front. Harder to do with a younger player still on the rise.

All fair points, but I think Bills wouldn’t be near that $10-$12m mark either. Personally I think Kirk gets about $12m per and 4 years. And I personally don’t see Beane being in that ballpark with the guys we have, bigger holes on the team, and a deep draft ahead of us at WR.

The evidence was there that something special was brewing in Buffalo during his rookie year.

Exactly, not sure I have ever seen a drops video in the NFL get to FIVE minutes long for one season, thats a lot of drops.

No disrespect, but I don't think you are thinking about this correctly in terms of free agency. Kirk is going to be more in demand than Cooper, Robinson and Williams. These three are going to be more expensive despite being highly inconsistent as receivers most their careers even while playing mostly in productive offenses with good or very good QB's (especially Cooper and Williams). Less teams can afford what they will be looking for, and there is a legit argument if they are even worth what they are going to be seeking given how inconsistent they have been. Who is hot in Free Agency isnt always about who is perceived to be the most talented or accomplished. Adams for example won't have as many suitors because he is too expensive, less people can afford him even though he is night and day better than anyone on this list and arguably the best in the NFL. Godwin is coming off a major injury too and while he likely is back in 2022 barring setbacks, there is no guarantee he comes back and just gets back to his old form early, might take time to get there. How many teams can afford what he will be seeking, and how many are willing to give it to him before he gets back on the field is a legit question with him. Kirk will be a priority or top tier target for a lot of teams because he is perceived to be young and on the rise breaking out, meaning they can get a guy they believe is capable of putting up numbers like some of these other guys in a featured role while paying him considerably less money than several of those other guys will get. So if you want to list these guys in tiers based on their resumes, sure, you can make a case for your list. But if you want to grade as a free agency tier, Kirk will likely have the biggest market for his services than anyone on that list making him a higher tier free agent.
