Kirk is now one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
During his 22-year carer, Brady has played two games in London (2009, 2012) and one game in Mexico City (2017) along with his games in the United States. Of course, the huge problem for the guy who bought it is that the auctioned ball is likely no longer going to be the final TD ball of Brady's career, which means his $518,000 football is probably now worth about $518. With Brady playing another year, that likely means they won't go in the HOF together, which means Big Ben should get a big celebration and he won't have to worry about Patriots and Buccaneers fans taking over Canton when he eventually gets inducted. Any team that was going to play Tampa Bay in 2022 probably looked at the game as a winnable one, but with Brady back, that's not going to be the case anymore. This one is pretty obvious: With Brady coming out of retirement, the biggest winner is definitely the team that employs him. It won't be surprising if other key free agents -- like Rob Gronkowski -- also make the decision to return to Tampa Bay now that Brady is on board.

Darius Slay and other NFL players reacted to Christian Kirk signing a four-year, $72 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Scherff, 30, is a five-time Pro Bowler considered among the best guards in the NFL.
Jacksonville also agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with defensive tackle Foley Fatukasi, per a source. Jones, 26, recorded 47 receptions for 546 yards and one touchdown during the 2021 season. Durability has been an issue, though, as Scherff has missed 14 starts over the past three seasons.
It was never in doubt whether Deebo Samuel was going to cash out now that he's eligible for an extension. The Jaguars' deal for wide receiver Christian Kirk ...
The 49ers were probably hoping to land him for something in the $18-$20 million range. He had a career year in 2021 with 77 receptions and 982 yards with five touchdowns. It was never in doubt whether Deebo Samuel was going to cash out now that he’s eligible for an extension.
During the start of the NFL's open-negotiating period, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to a four-year, $72 million contract with wide receiver Christian Kirk ...
Lynch and the 49ers have budgeted to make Samuel a pillar of this era of San Francisco football. Kirk's massive contract should put a smile on a number of receivers' faces, including Davante Adams who is set to make $20.1 million next season while playing on the franchise tag. Samuel was one of the best offensive players in the NFL last season. Samuel's receiving numbers dipped during the second half of the season as the 49ers utilized him more in the run game. In 56 career games, he has caught 236 passes for 2,902 yards and 17 touchdowns. "With Deebo and Nick [Bosa], we fully understand these guys are pillars of what we’re trying to do here,” Lynch said shortly after the 2021 season ended.
The Jaguars just made a lot of teams angry, and Christian Kirk just made a lot of better wide receivers richer during the start of NFL free agency.

It won’t be crazy now for him to ask to top Hopkins’ market-leading $27.5 million per year with the Cardinals. Kirk averaged 12.3 yards per catch with 17 total touchdowns in four years with the Cardinals, playing with either DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald or sometimes both to divert defensive attention. Even when reduced to its base value of $72 million, Kirk’s deal — including $39 million over the first two years, per NFL Network — is a game-changer.
Remember that time then-Arizona Cardinals receiver Christian Kirk scored his first NFL touchdown and celebrated by “securing the bag?”.

Adams wants a deal closer to the $27.25 million that Hopkins is making annually, but the Packers believe his market value is closer to Jones' $22 million price tag. That's simply what happens when a Tier-2 player is compensated at the rate of a top-10 playmaker. Tyreek Hill will also have a case to get a bump in salary thanks to this deal. And if you use Schefter's high-end estimates of Kirk's maximum value, Kirk would be the NFL's third-highest-paid receiver in average annual value. Kirk, 25, has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Jaguars during the first day of the NFL's legal tampering period before free agency. It was always expected that Kirk would draw interest on the free-agent market.
After four seasons with the Cardinals, Kirk could be looking at a contract worth $17 million per year.
The Arizona Cardinals are about lose their top receiver from 2021 to free agency. Listen to the latest from Cards Wire’s Jess Root on his podcast, Rise Up, See Red. Subscribe on Apple podcasts or Spotify. He had 77 receptions for 982 yards and five touchdowns.
The Jaguars made a move to acquire a free agent receiver with some upside in Christian Kirk.
But, with Jacksonville in a cap-flush situation, and the league salary cap rising significantly over the coming years, perhaps it will be market value. Still, Jacksonville upgrades its receiving corp by adding Kirk, who will immediately be a starter in head coach Doug Pederson and offensive coordinator Press Taylor’s offense moving forward, likely playing a significant number of snaps in the slot. He had his best year this past season, accounting for 77 catches, 982 yards and five touchdowns.
Wide receiver Christian Kirk is hitting free agency this year. He quickly struck gold, and is getting a massive contract from his new team.
In four seasons with the Cardinals, Kirk had 236 receptions for 2,902 yards and 17 touchdowns. Did the Jaguars get fleeced or will Christian Kirk be worth the money? But with the way things have gone for the Jaguars over the past few years, overpaying might be the only way they can get some of the players they want.

That was Kirk’s first full slate as a pro and his first where he truly lived up to his pre-draft hype. Kirk will collect a $20MM signing bonus, with ProFootballNetwork.com’s Aaron Wilson tweeting his 2022 and ’23 base salaries ($1.5MM and $15.5MM, respectively, are guaranteed).

While he was one off his career-high in touchdowns with eight, he hit a new career-high in yards with 982. His worst season ever was still decent, though finishing with three touchdowns and just over 500 yards his rookie campaign. The Jaguars needed help for Trevor Lawrence and they are getting him a strong target in Kirk. There were a lot of mouths to feed in Arizona, along with one of the best receivers in the league in DeAndre Hopkins. Kirk could easily end up as Lawrence’s No. 1 for a long time to come.
The former second-round pick is the Jaguars' newest No. 1 receiver after agreeing to a monster contract with the Jaguars.
With Murray at the helm in 2019, Kirk caught 68 passes for 709 yards and three touchdowns as he saw 40 more targets than the year before. Kirk, 25, put up his best numbers as a slot receiver in Arizona's offense last season after three years of the Cardinals experimenting with him on the outside. Now, the Jaguars have made a massive invest at receiver, bringing in a former second-round selection who is fresh off the best year of his career.
Nobody was happier to see the Jacksonville Jaguars flat-out overpay for free-agent wide receiver Christian Kirk than Tennessee Titans wideout, A.J. Brown.
If Kirk is making anywhere from $18 to $21 million per year, Brown’s new deal could easily surpass that. Brown, who is a superstar when healthy, was already looking at deal that pays him upwards of $20 million per season, but we can pretty much cement that as the minimum he’ll get after seeing what Kirk received. That’s right, a receiver who has never crossed the 1,000-yard mark in his career could make upwards of $21 million per season in his new deal.
