Christian Kirk

The Texans restructured WR Christian Kirk’s contract.

Fantasy Impact

Houston converted $14 million of Kirk's $15.5 million base salary into a signing bonus. It cleared $12 million in cap for this season. Kirk was traded to the Texans last week.

Christian Kirk has been traded to the Houston Texans for a seventh round pick. Kirk was originally going to be released by the Jaguars, but the Texans came in with a deal to snag the receiver.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk got off to a slow start in 2024 but was on a near 1,000-yard pace in his final six games before missing the rest of the season. Kirk gives Houston a great No.2 option behind Nico Collins while Tank Dell recovers from his extensive knee injuries.

The Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk had one year remaining on his current deal and was scheduled to make $16.5 million in 2025. Jacksonville will likely be in the market for another wide receiver this offseason either through free agency or the NFL Draft.

Dan Graziano of ESPN wrote that he believes there’s a 75 percent chance the Jaguars cut WR Christian Kirk this offseason.

Fantasy Impact

Kirk is slated to make $16.5 million in the final year of his contract. His season ended early last year due to a broken collarbone. With the emergence of Brian Thomas, it is possible Jacksonville either looks to trade Kirk or end up releasing him.

Christian Kirk suffered a broken collarbone in the Jaguars’ 30-27 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Before exiting, he caught two of five targets for 59 yards.

Fantasy Impact

While it may not be the biggest blow to the Jaguars, with rumors circulating that they were going to trade the receiver and might have planned to be without his services soon anyway, it is a big blow for Kirk himself. He should recover from the injury well before the start of next season, but his trade value has plummeted. He is still under contract for the Jags next season, but there are potential outs the team could take, making him a free agent. Coming off of an injury as a free agent is not ideal, but that is mere speculation. For now, Kirk remains a Jaguar and will look to rebuild his value next year.
