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.

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.

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

Yes.
