2. The Kirk deal is structured WAYY differently then all of those it supposedly inflated (lower % of guaranteed $$ and a two year team out clause most notably. 

3. Single Outliers don't shift market behavior meaningfully. Trends do. 

 4. Individual teams who want their guy will pay what they can to get him - but if they are letting an agent bully the price up on a Tyreek Hill "because of" Christian Kirk - they are simply bad negotiators and their behavior is contributing to a market shift as much as - or more than the Kirk deal.

1.  Williams and Kirk are 2 totally different players lol.   Williams is a deal I would call a team friendly deal.  1 is a guy that could be a number 1 on a lot of teams and the other is a good slot WR.  Can Kirk improve on the outside? Hopefully, but his deal is based on what they are hoping he can do not on what he has done.

Agreed completely Williams and Kirk are two entirely different types of player.  Yet their production is eeerily similar, with Kirk actually having more catches in one fewer year than Williams, with the base salary some $2 million a year less than Williams deal.  NYC Jags has a point about that Williams deal.  If the production is very similar, why castigate the Jaguars for signing a lesser deal than Williams got with the Chargers?
