Christian Kirk A Likely Trade Candidate

4 weeks ago

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk has generated significant trade buzz ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline. With wideouts changing hands left and right over the last few weeks, it appears Kirk could be one of the next on the move. The seventh-year WR is in his third campaign with Jacksonville, who, after another loss on Sunday, "might make it more likely they would be willing to entertain offers for players such as Kirk," according to Schefter. Despite a solid three-week stretch, the 27-year-old has mostly taken a backseat to first-round rookie wideout Brian Thomas Jr. in the passing game thus far. That trend could continue with tight end Evan Engram back in the fold. The ESPN Insider noted that Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ribs) is a highly-sought trade piece as well, so it could be an eventful upcoming two weeks before the trade deadline. A change of scenery would undoubtedly boost his outlook.
