Former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson got off to a roaring start in 2022 NFL free agency after he landed a linebacker, one of the NFL’s top right guards and a talented slot wide receiver.
The news of the day centers around just how much Pederson paid that receiver, as Jacksonville agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with former Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk.
The contract could reach upwards of $84 million and the $18 million per season average puts Kirk above names like Cooper Kupp, Tyreek Hill and others.
Kirk, 25, logged 77 receptions for 984 yards, both of which were career-highs, as well as five touchdowns in 17 games for the Cardinals in 2021.
Twitter reacted and the responses were hilarious.
