I don't get why the transition tag option gets disregarded so quickly, here and in the media.
If the FO can ask (or at least get a feel of) if Kirk would sign offers from other teams in that situation, then it's a good option:
-either he signs a crazy offer that you don't want to match and you can finally move on and say "We should've signed you 2 years ago, but you played it right, good luck to you we're not paying that kind of money"
-or he signs an offer that you're willing to match and you know you got him at market value.
You only need to know that he's not gonna make it backfire by not signing any offers and just taking the 28 M. But I think he made it pretty clear he wants to get settled. So I'm guessing the FO could get that information from his agent.
