Supposedly? Where did you get that information?

There were a lot of tweets that said the reason the Browns got the deal instead of us despite offering more pick value is because the Browns were willing to take on the whole contract.
Lots of smoke around Kirk. Is this guy any good? Not a receiver I know enough about .

He has never performed statistically to the level that you would like for a guy who is about to get paid as much as you would like, but he has always been part of a stacked WR corps. The scouts very much like him and so does PFF. He primarily played the slot last year because they had Nuk and AJ Green, but in the past when Fitz was manning the slot Kirk played outside just fine so I think there is untapped potential. We would be paying for a lot more than potential though so it's obviously very risky and reeks of desperation.

Don't you hate that?
Ugh.
I hate making a mistake. I don't hate people correcting me, especially if it's grammar, or spelling, or vocabulary. I actually appreciate that kind of correction.

Got it. Seems like better to pay DJ then, since he at least has the size and speed to be a true number 1.

Slightly better than what we have now, but not a difference maker.

What? DeAndre Hopkins is the only good WR for the Cards. A.J. Green hasn't been a factor for years and they only acquired Ertz a few months ago. Kirk has had plenty of time to show out and he falls short, time after time. He is what he is. I agree signing him would be a desperation move, especially if he commands anything over $10 million/year. He's just not worth it. He's like a 3rd WR.

Yes.

He has been trying to guess a lot late to hit one and he's been missing.
That's pretty much it, he's been getting info from different sources and tweets. Before I think he knew someone in the building, he use to call almost every move before it was public. He hasn't done that in a while
He was pretty spot on up until Leftwich and we've literally had nothing happen except for Hyde being released since then.
You still think the guy he knows still works in the building. I’d say no. It was some good leaks while they lasted

He did say they were interested in Scherff, Kirk, and Oluokun days ago.

It seen other tweets that said the same. It's been rumored for a while
I see this coming together. Stacking some talent today. Mixing in Kirk with marvin jones who I think could be very good when he doesnt have to be a 1 or a 2 wr. Draft 1 or 2 more wrs. Then the o-line could be nasty when the jags run left this season. It would be nice to keep chark jr
