You think the dolphins paid Tyreek Hill 72 mil guaranteed with 120 mil potential earnings and 52 mil UP FRONT, because Kirk got $37 mil guaranteed? 

Bruh, it's apples and oranges. Both the players, and the terms of the contracts. One did not influence the other.

From the way things sound, I think the Packers were going to move on from Davante regardless...but I think that Tyreek would still be a Chief and AJ Brown would still be a Titan if we didn't sign Kirk. He absolutely raised both of those guys deals by mid 7 figures a year. Kirk also has a lot to do with Deebo and Metcalf's strained relationships with their teams.

first, flag this post for insufficient tacks spite.

second, both those moves made two of the top teams in this conference weaker, so I fail to see how we see Kirk's deal as bad in this aspect.

Deebo and Metcalf were headed down this road before the season even ended. It's all part of the dance, relationships are strained, players and coaches don't see eye to eye, then one day a contract is signed and everyone is best buds all over again.
