The Jacksonville Jaguars have taken care of for the first big surprise of this year’s Free Agency: Jacksonville made Christian Kirk to the ninthe Wide Receiver in the NFL.

Kirk agreed to start the Free Agency with the Jags to a four-year contract of over $ 72 million. The deal is intended to value up to $ 84 million in the total volume of bonus payments. But even the 18 million in average per year in the 72 million variant Kirk rinse Kirk into the top 10 under Wide Receives. 37 million are completely guaranteed.

The 25-year-old had been the best year in the NFL in the past season. Kirk, who was first primarily in the slot in the Cardinals in the Slot, developed into one of the more dangerous vertical slot weapons in the NFL. Including playoffs he recorded 83 catches for 1,035 yards.

Over 77 percent of his snaps, he spent in the slot, in the first three years in the NFL, the former two-round pick never came to more than 42 percent.

It is therefore to be assumed that Jacksonville also involves him in his peer leader – which in turn raises questions, as the exact plans for Laviska Shenault look like for the previous year’s round-round Pick Travis Etienne. In addition, it has therefore become extremely unlikely that the Jaguar’s own Free Agent Receiver D.J. Keep will hold.
