So for happen sake he does get 2-3 more big games and finishes around 70 balls and 1000 yards. His camp wants a deal bigger than what we gave Kirk, are you paying him?

Kirk's deal will be 2 years old when it's time to negotiate one for Ridley. 
It has no bearing. The market will decide what Ridley gets paid. 

My decision on whether or not to pay Ridley comes down to what he does to finish the year in terms of impact, and what we are able to do with the cap to retain other players whose impact will be weighed against Ridley's impact. 

How many impending free agents do we keep and how many we can afford depends on much more than a 70 catch 1000 yard stat line. 

If we keep winning games and see this offense finally hit a stride - I'd do everything in my power to keep that going into 2024. And I'd pay the going rate for Ridley's services if I can afford it and justify how that affects other expenditures.
