Sporttrac..com is showing that Kirk has received a couple of GM/Workout bonuses in 2025. I forgot that he restructured his salary in 2023 and converted that into a signing bonus. He did the same thing in 2024, and soorttract.com is showing that he did it again for 2025. Kirk holds a 8.7% cap hit, which is the highest on the team.

I’m hoping this means Kirk will be with the Jaguars for the 2025 season. Kirk, Thomas, Engram, Washington and Lawrence gives the Jaguars offense plenty of fire power. 


If Kirk is released post-June 1, his cap savings would be around $10.5 Million. 

The Jaguars are in decent shape in cap, ranking 15th in the NFL, even though Walker Little is the 4th highest base salary-paid Jaguar, while Armstead is 5th.

If Scherff is released = $13M cap savings 

If Hamilton is released = $4.3M cap savings

If they can trade Etienne = $6.1M cap savings. He signed a 5th year option in April of last year. As of right now, he has a cap hit of $6.1M, while Bigsby will only cost the Jaguars around $1.2M in 2025.

I am against releasing Kirk as we would take a 13M deadcap hit meaning we would need to replace his production for about 10M. We have much more dire needs to use our draft resources on.

Scherff is not under contract with the Jags, so we cannot cut someone not under contract.  The 13M is a cap hit we have no choice

You need to review the Hamilton contract if we cut him it would be a 4.3M loss not savings. Just got your signs mixed up. If we cut him next year there is a 3.4M savings.
