If there were a Richter scale
jeresy/kyrie-irving-jersey">Kyrie Irving Jersey in
the NFL, the moment news broke that would sign a four-
year deal worth $72 million with incentives pushing it
to as much as $84 million would have registered as an
8.0.Seismic news, indeed. Kirk, who had been Arizona's
third option at best during his four years with the , was
now being paid like a guaranteed No. 1 option. Players
and executives around the league couldn't believe it.
That much?! For him?!Three weeks into the regular season
and it looks like the knew exactly what they were doing.
General manager Trent Baalke paid a high price for Kirk,
but so far you can't argue he hasn't played up to his
contract.Kirk is averaging six catches for 90 yards and a
touchdown so far this season. The Jaguars are 2-1 as they
face the undefeated today, and all of a sudden the Jags
aren't the butt of jokes anymore. To be sure, Kirk was
always the Jags' top option in the wide receiver market.
That's because he fit the criteria they set before the
start of free agency. The Jags wanted:A player entering
his second contract;A player who has been relatively
healthy in his career;Someone who had speed to separate
from defensive backs;A player who was young enough to
grow and develop with franchise quarterback .The Jaguars
saw Kirk, still just 25 years old, for what he could
become in their system. isn't known for his quick

and Kirk was rarely the first option anyway. In
Jacksonville, a more decisive Lawrence could get him the

and tied with the likes of , , and . Opponents didn't
respect Jacksonville's speed last year, and teams were in

the 12th most

in the league and above the league average of 27.9%.
Kirk broke his foot the final month of his rookie year
and then mi sed three games in 2019 with an ankle injury.
He's only mi sed two games (one for COVID) since then, so
the health box was checked.Finally, money wasn't an i
sue. The Jaguars had plenty to attract free agents,
totaling about $56 million in cap space as the new league
year approached.The Jags knew Samuel, sooner or later,
would get more than $20 million per year, so a number
like $18 million per year for Kirk wasn't that
jeresy/d-angelo-russell-jersey">D'Angelo Russell
Jersey outrageous to them. was on the trading
block, but his injury history wasn't appealing to
Jacksonville. Fat chance they could pry or away in a
trade. And did you want to risk waiting for or to po
sibly get traded? Looking beyond in the draft, any
receiver who'd make a difference in Year 1 would be gone
by pick 15 or 20. The Jags at that time had the No. 1 and
33 picks, so they'd mi s out on one of those guys in the
middle part of the draft.One team in the receiver market
was prepared to pursue Kirk at the $13 million-per-year
range. They were told quickly that wouldn't be close to
enough and went a different route. Jacksonville's offer
of $18 million per year (with incentives that could push
it to $21 million per) got the job done just two hours
after the legal tampering period opened."I don't listen
to it," Kirk told CBS Sports' Pete Prisco during training
camp when asked what he thinks about talk surrounding his
contract. "People can have their opinions, people can
talk. For me I know what I've earned and I know what I
have worked for. So for that I'm just going to keep going
and keep being the player I want to be." Only once
before has Kirk strung together three consecutive weeks
with at least six catches (Weeks 14-16 of 2021). Never
before has he had three straight weeks with at least 70
receiving yards in each game.Now he'
