Confirmation that the best we will do in FA is 2nd tier and lower players.

I don’t think that’s confirmation as you see it.  A large part of this is projecting out development. I would say the expectation is that Kirk being 25 will continue to develop and hasn’t peaked yet. I would say Cooper might continue to produce but has likely peaked and will either plateau or begin to decline.

The other thing is these deals only matter as far as the guarantee goes.  Kirk either outperforms or gets cut in 2 years.  If it’s the latter, hopefully we’ve hit at WR in the draft a couple of times in the interim.
