NFL Trade Rumors: 5 teams that must sign Christian Kirk
As we approach free agency, one name to look out for in the receiver market is Cardinals free agent, Christian Kirk.
Kirk was drafted in the second-round of the 2018 NFL draft and has been a solid receiver for the Cardinals in his four years as a pro. Kirk had his best season last year productively. Last season, Kirk recorded career highs in receptions (77) and receiving yards (982) while scoring five times. There's been reports that Kirk will have a hot market heading into free agency.
The Arizona Cardinals free agent Christian Kirk is expected to have a "hot" market.

Here are five teams that could benefit from signing Kirk...
#5 - Arizona Cardinals could retain Christian Kirk
Although there is a growing sense that Kirk will sign elsewhere due to a hot market, he could always re-sign with the Cardinals. Last season we saw JuJu Smith-Schuster re-sign on a one-year team friendly deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers after turning down more money from the Chiefs and Ravens. Kirk was a good number two for Arizona and filled in for when Deandre Hopkins was out last season. The Cardinals are just over the cap right now so if Kirk does indeed have a strong market, it'll be hard for Arizona to retain him.
#4 - Jacksonville Jaguars could add a receiver like Christian Kirk in free agency to replace DJ Chark
The Jaguars currently have the second-most cap space with $58 million and need to add another weapon for Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville didn't have a receiver go for over 1,000 yards last season and lack a true number one with deep-threat potential. DJ Chark is also a free agent who seems to be the best Jaguars wide receiver and he could leave Jacksonville in free agency. Kirk can at the very least be the Jaguars' number two receiver this season if signed, and could be a could target for Lawrence.
