If say they wanted to reset their slot position and move on from Kirk (which they won't do and I don't want them to do), then maybe he could fit. Maybe they projected what he could do.

Yes he got 1k yards and 8 TDS despite the rust, the offense's stagnation, and being basically miscast in his role. But the fact those numbers are so highly ranked in Jags records doesn't mean he is worth the contract or the the right piece for this team. It just shows how poor the history of Jags WR have been.

And just because he was one of the best in Jags history, the Jags can't just assume "they can't really do better" because then they will never accomplish the goals they want and we as fans want.

If his skillset didn't fit the type of offense this team wanted to run, then, why did they trade for him? He amassed those numbers in year on a team that was vying for the 1 seed at one point in the AFC and had a chance at the minimum for the 4 seed in week 17 or week 18. 

If the cost is fair and the price is right? You bring him back for year two. Again, I find it funny that some folks just think it's as simple as trusting a general manager, that has clearly failed historically in drafting star quality WR's, to replace that kind of production, especially for a guy that was out of football shape for basically 2 years. 

Let's just keep entering every free agency and draft with more holes than a block of Swiss cheese, amirite? Because nothing says consistent, play off competitor level football like entering every off season looking like a block of Swiss cheese.
