Dome Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Right after the Garappolo trade, I was listening to the Move the Sticks podcast and they were discussing giving up a high 2nd round pick for a guy that needs a new contract vs signing a guy like Cousins in FA. DJ was essentially saying if you’re sold on the fact that he’s your guy, giving up a 2nd and getting Jimmy for high $10Ms low $20Ms might be better than paying $30-something million a year for Kirk, even if he’s the better player. He was being facetious, but it made me wonder a couple things. 1) How much will the next big QB contract be for, yearly? I mean the next contract that kind of “resets” the QB market. Contracts have been crazy over the last few years with the cap going up. 2) Who will be the first player to average a $30m/ yearly cap hit?

lavar703 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Kirk will probably get around $28-30M a year from the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 SF basically said they are likely to tag Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I have to disagree, I think Kirk is going elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they offer him $100 million a year he can still accept it after he goes to FA to see if somebody else offers him more. They will Transition tag him and might keep him, but he will get to talk to other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If players get offered something they (or their agent) thinks is fair they’ll usually take it. It’s not remotely uncommon for players re-sign with a team on an extension rather than opting to test free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Kirk have to gain by not letting Washington's offer sit on the table for a couple more months, and what does he have to lose by doing so?

Complete open market, would be if Washington doesn't transition tag him. But I still think they will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
