I think he might well take less than the tag amount depending on the amount of guaranteed money. Anything could happen in the future, so the guaranteed amount is an important consideration.

The only possible disaster for the Redskins in their negotiations with Kirk and his agent would be for the Skins to be forced to tag him. In that event, the Skins would not be able to manage around the $19.5MM cap hit.

As a fan, I don't really care how much the Redskins pay him as long as it is structured to allow enough cap space to give Scot M. the flexibility he needs to continue building the team. If Kirk cares about winning, and I'm sure he does, he'll cooperate with the Redskins in structuring the deal.
