Jags release Christian Kirk, seems like a Billsy move

A far better option than Slayton.  

 

Why invest in a boundary wideout when the Bills don't seem interested in utilizing them?

I think Slayton is grossly over rated.  Garbage time merchant.  Over 5 mil a year is insane to me. People normalizing paying him 15 a year and insulted by Cook asking for 15 makes 0 sense to me.

Slayton, like Diontae Johnson, is a drops guy. Led the league in drop percentage for a couple of years and I think he came in third in drop percentage this year.

Kirk seems to be tight with Josh and was just hanging out with him again recently. I don’t think we give him as much of a deal as the Jags did, but might be a nice option.

 

 

 

Samuel is Kirk as far as size isn't he ? I would think we need bigger WR's not more small ones .

My opinion, but I think they just need a guy who can get off-press man and make plays. I don't think it needs to be a big fast guy who can't run routes, or a tiny fast guy who can't make contested catches. The guy has to get off man, run routes, and catch the football. Ideally, it's a good sized fast guy who can run routes and gets off press man, but those are few and far between...essentially Nico Collins, Aj Brown, Justin Jefferson types.

5’11 I would consider average. Not Mckenzie, Beasely and Brown small.  3 guys who can play anywhere.  Assume in man situations one of them would have to have a favorable matchup to exploit.  Not a number 1 but solid wr who is dependable.  Attended Allens Bachelor party?? Thats the rumored outing?  Beyond a splash move him paired with a rookie improves the room.

Da hell?

Contract trade. Jags get something - essentially titans traded a 7th to take the contract on their books. What’s $ owed and cap hit for titan? 

[Kirby Jackson]

Good deal for the Texans. Dell out the year again and now they have him to play along Nico.

[Aussie Joe]

2025 - $16.2 m cap hit for the Texans according to Spotrac …

 

They can have him 

[MrEpsYtown]

This was fun while it lasted!

[TBBills Fan]

Texans love receivers 

 

Not a bad move considering Diggs and Dell.injuries

Offseasons gonna be a wild ride moving forward.

So basically they bought out the contract for the Jags and don't retain his rights or what?

 

I don't get the logistics since they reportedly already released him, how can they then trade him?

[Warriorspikes51]

Well you’d think this takes HOU out of DK

 

obviously taking us out on Kirk even if Josh would have liked him signing here once released

It was reported by Schefter that they were "planning to release him," not that they released him.

Not sure. 

 

They are down slot (Dell) and a boundary guy (Diggs). This seems to fill the Dell role.

Not neccessarily. The cost was just a 7th Round Pick. And they need to replace not only Stefon Diggs, but Tank Dell as well. This move replaces Tank Dell in the Slot. But they're still in the market to replace Stef Diggs on the Outside. 

[BullBuchanan]

What team couldn't use an 11th slot receiver?

Such a “Billsy” move.  Ridiculous
