Why would Kirk think that going to Denver, or somewhere else, would be any different?
He's a big boy. Gruden's comments won't factor into his decision. If he leaves, it will be because he just wanted something different.

For that to be true, we would need to assume that Smithers will make Kirk a competitive offer. He hasn't even made Kirk a respectable offer up to now, so I don't believe that Kirk will get a competitive offer from the Skins.
That leaves the Skins with only one option if they want to keep Kirk; that is, the extremely well-paid involuntary servitude of the Franchise Tag. The Transition Tag would be useless to the Skins because they won't match any offer that is at a top of the market price.
They might as well just let him walk now. Make a clean break with Kirk and draw up other plans.
