Oh I get it - you just talked in circles around it without stating it. 
What you don't see is that the value of a productive slot receiver is changing in today's NFL. In large part to the increased production at the position that some of the names listed have brought to it, but also by guys that spent the vast majority of their snaps in the slot. 

It's absolutely fair to say that Christian Kirk is probably not as versatile as some of the "big slot receivers" listed in the past few pages. It's also fair to say the ones on that list who have been paid recently were paid commensurately to their ability/versatility. 

Whereas Kirk's deal with only 2 years guaranteed and only 50% potential pay guaranteed suits his apparent lack of versatility.

A lack of versatility you and I have both stated may be proven to be less egregious under Pederson and Lawrence.

Ask again around Christmas. 
We might know (or care) if his contract is a ridiculous overpayment by then.

Agreed, I thought we overpaid some but I don't think it's a big deal because we needed help.at the WR position however we could get it and I think Trev has the ability to make the WRs around him better, not to mention his deal looks better with all the WR extensions after him.  I think it's possible Kirk can have a career year with Trev and Doug along with this coaching staff.
