The first big contract for a free agent wide receiver was great news for his peers, including Tyreek Hill.
Multiple reports indicated that free agent wide receiver Christian Kirk had agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The contract could potentially be worth as much as $84 million.
The reaction was swift, particularly with regard to other, more accomplished wide receivers who are also in the process of negotiating new deals. That includes Hill, who is working on a new deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. Hill is significantly more accomplished than Kirk, so it’s safe to say he was pleased to see those terms.
In fact, Hill reacted on Twitter by simply posting a tweet with the eyes emoji.

Hill will not be alone in that reaction. There are other receivers who will definitely be taking notice of Kirk’s deal, and putting pressure on teams as a result.
