That salary should go to someone like Aiyuk or Higgins. If the contract allowed, it would work if they could cut Kirk and give his salary to a #1. Even though it won't happen because it would be a slimy thing to do but a WR Corp of Aiyuk/Higgins, Davis, Washington would get the job done.

You're grotesquely over thinking it.

Kirk is our most productive receiver when healthy and it doesn't matter that he does that from the slot. 
Cutting him would be insane. 

We don't need a "#1" - we need a guy suited to play the X at an above average level. We have a bunch of y's and z's. 
Gabe Davis may be that guy, not sure.

But even without that - this current receiving corps will "get the job done" if they just fix the damn OL enough to allow more PA and downfield attempts that don't end with Trevor being mangled.

Yes.  Some people just don't seem to understand how much a better running game will help the passing game.  A better offensive line will help this passing game much more than adding a "#1 receiver" would.  By far.  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  The Jaguars had 120 running plays last year that went for zero or less than zero yards.   That's 7 times per game we ran for no yards or a loss of yards.   We're seeing 2nd and 12 or 3rd and 12 SEVEN TIMES PER GAME!!!

You can put Randy Moss and Jerry Rice out there, and if you can't run the ball any better than that, your offensive will struggle.
