Trade: Texans Dealing For Jaguars WR Christian Kirk

Jacksonville had planned to release Kirk if no takers emerged, but Houston stepped up with a deal, and it likely didn’t take much. 

Trading Kirk will free up $10.44 million in cap space for the Jaguars with $13.65 million in dead money, per Over The Cap.

Kirk, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Cardinals back in 2018. He played out the final year of his four-year, $5,894,874 contract that included a $2,367,180 signing bonus.

He was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent when he signed a four-year, $84 million deal with the Jaguars in 2022. 

Kirk was entering the final year of that deal and scheduled to make a base salary of $15.5 million in 2025. 

In 2024, Kirk appeared in eight games for the Jaguars and caught 25 passes for 320 yards receiving and one touchdown.
