Kirk is a good receiver but not sure he is worth that much. His best fit is as a slot receiver.

1. Chris Godwin

That GD franchise tag....

2. Schefter, Schefter got two deal deal in his contract contract.

Literacy or grammar check never a Twitter strong point.

3. I did not know who that is.

His stats have a nice average but nothing is that outstanding. Of course he wasn’t the main threat in Arizona.

4. Doesn't help the Packers' cause....

Because Davante Adam's wants to be the highest-paid WR.

7. This is the problem for teams with players who think they're elite

When you have the highest paid QB and the highest paid WR, you don't have enough salary cap room to sign quality supporting players.
You saw it happen when Seahawks paid Wilson and I'm wondering how Mahome's contact will hurt the Chiefs down the line when they have to replace aging players.

11. Davante Adams informs Packers he won't play on franchise tag in 2022

Would Rogers take a cut in pay to keep Adams? Nope.

5. Makes no sense

I am a Cardinal and this makes no sense. Way overpaying for an average receiver. When Deandre Hopkins was injured Kirk became invisible in games and did not step in my opinion. Part of the reason the Cards last part of the season sucked.

6. I think it is desperation

all the other high profile free agent WRs didn't return the Jaguars calls.

[House of Roberts]

8. Up to $84 million,

sounds like a lot of performance clauses to get to the maximum number.

[orwell]

9. Call from Cooper Kupp...

...on line 1.

10. Trent Baalke strikes again.

That team is doomed until they get rid of him. He did sign Brandon Scherff, though, and that's a good signing IMO.

12. They also signed Zay Jones to a 3 year $24-30 million deal.
