I think probably, I feel the smart play here is to extend Kirk to a 2yr deal somewhere in the region of 35-38mil a year. And draft a QB in the first round of this really talented QB draft. Let the young guy learn from a mentor like Kirk and go from there. I know historically Kirk's not taken a team friendly deal before because (and I'm all for get yourselves paid when it comes to players) he's a business man and he knows the value of his services. However... There's more at play, does he want to uproot his family? He seems to have taken a really part in the community. Sometimes it's not all about money and I think an older Kirk now understands that. I hope he retires a viking (and hell with his football IQ, I kinda hope when he retires from playing that we offer him a coaching job). But there's only so much money in the pot, and the cap is a myth and there is a lot of math gymnastics that can be done, but we have to pay JJ, Danielle, Darrisaw and Kirk? We're gunna be tight up against the cap if they all get what they deserve.
