I don't begrudge anybody for going for what they want. He wanted to play for an organization with a more winning pedigree. Fine.

That said, he really shouldn't be surprised the Redskins made a move. I mean they made several overtures and he said he wanted to go to free agency. You can't blame them. The last thing they could afford to do is go into free agency, try to bid for Kirk, and ultimately have him decide to go somewhere else. By then they would have missed out on Alex Smith and who knows how many other options.

You didn't want to be a Redskin. That's OK, it's your right. But as soon as the team realized you weren't interested, it's their responsibility to figure out another plan. Smith is a good option.

I'll always have a soft spot for Kirk but yeah, you can't help but feel spurned by the obvious desire to leave juxtaposed against all the sweet talking he did about Washington. Just stop, and move on with your career.
