The wide receiver market got a jolt on Monday when the legal tampering period of free agency opened. Christian Kirk of the Cardinals agreed to a four-year contract with the Jaguars, and it’s an expensive one.
According to reports, it has a base value of $72 million and can be worth up to $84 million. That means he could get paid up to $21 million per year, which would put him third in the NFL among all receivers.
That’s hard to fathom for a player with zero 1,000-yard seasons and only 17 touchdowns in four seasons. He’s a good player, but he’s not in the realm of the top guys at his position talent-wise.
