Why would Kirk do this?
> To lock-in $34mm for one year
> Because Redskins could pay him that money and make him sit out of football for a year. Highly unlikely, but I think this management group is crazy enough to do it.
> Lost of opportunity- When the desired team of choice gets another QB.
Why would he not do it...
> Pissing match with Redskins brass.
> He can bank on them not keeping $34 mm on the books.
> The prospect of truly becoming a Free Agent
> His future team losing draft picks in the exchange for him.
