But the organization which has called Houston home since 2002 and never played beyond the Divisional Round is clearly thinking about reaching new heights in 2025.

An injury-plagued 2024 season limited Kirk to just eight games, but prior to that, the 28-year-old wideout had completed a three-year run in which he caught 218 passes for 2,877 yards and 16 touchdowns.</p><p>In fairness, on Jacksonville’s side of things, getting anything for a player that was about to be released can be viewed as a win. But for good reason, fans in H-Town were thrilled after the news broke that the Texans had acquired Kirk from their divisional rival.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">For what?

The pick originally belonged to the Los Angeles Rams.</p><p>“A deal before a release: Jaguars are trading WR Christian Kirk to the Texans for a 2026 seventh-round pick that originally belonged to the Rams, as @DMRussini reported,” Adam Schefter said in a post.</p><p>There was a lot of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/nfl-rumors-75-chance-jaguars-cut-72-million-trevor-lawrence-weapon">speculation regarding the Jaguars releasing Christian Kirk</a> this offseason, but they elected to go with a trade. Either way, Kirk will not be back in Jacksonville next season.</p><p>Kirk has been in the NFL for seven seasons now, as he started his career back in 2018 with the Arizona Cardinals. After playing college football at Texas A&amp;M, Kirk was taken with the 47th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He spent the first four years of his career playing for the Cardinals, and then he joined the Jaguars ahead of the 2022 season.</p><p>In 2021 and 2022, Kirk put up impressive numbers: he finished just shy of 1,000 receiving yards in his final season with the Cardinals, and then ended up with 1,108 in his first year in Jacksonville.</p><p>Unfortunately for Kirk, his last two seasons have been plagued by injuries. He played in just 12 games during the 2023 season, and last year he was only able to play in eight. He ended up finishing the season with 27 receptions for 379 yards and one touchdown.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/christian-kirk-fails-to-make-it-through-72-million-jaguars-contract">Jaguars were reportedly planning to release Christian Kirk</a>, but now he has been traded to the Texans. We have seen Kirk have impressive seasons when he can stay healthy, and he will have a lot of pieces around him in Houston that can make him better. It will be interesting to see how this next phase of his career plays out.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kirk can work from the slot and pick up some easy gains underneath, helping move the chains consistently in the passing game.</p><p>He can also be a threat in the intermediate and deep areas of the field with his route running nuance, and adding a quarterback-friendly presence like him would instantly juice up this offense.</p><p>On the outside, Pickens is less quarterback-friendly, but he can bring the element of explosiveness and big-play ability that Kirk doesn’t necessarily provide at this stage of his career. However, the two of them together have the chance to form a formidable duo for whoever ends up playing quarterback in Pittsburgh next season.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jaguars-news-christian-kirk-big-promise-season-ending-injury">Kirk does have some injury concerns</a> that will drive down his price tag and likely played a part in the Jaguars releasing him. He suffered a core injury in 2023 that ended his season before missing the final nine games of 2024 with a broken collarbone.</p><p>Despite that relative bad luck, there is nothing to suggest that Kirk won’t be able to recover from that heading into 2025. If he is indeed healthy, expect him to have plenty of suitors in free agency.</p><p>The Steelers should be one of those suitors, and adding Kirk to their roster would be a big step in making this offense a little bit more consistent next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the NFL season over, the Buffalo Bills quarterback finally celebrated his bachelor party. He spent Tuesday evening with several friends at a TGL (The Golf League) event shortly after the news broke that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/bills-news-josh-allen-follows-peyton-manning-lebron-james-new-venture">he had started his own media business</a>. However, one person in attendance was former Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Christian Kirk.</p><p>Kirk, who is 28 years of age, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/christian-kirk-fails-to-make-it-through-72-million-jaguars-contract">was released by the Jaguars</a> on Wednesday. Now that he’s a free agent, fans and talking heads are speculating that the veteran wide receiver might be at the top of the list for the Bills to sign this offseason. Kirk <a href="https://x.com/tgl/status/1897071480451817953?s=46&amp;t=ml_FzB0aYnsAgsTIoouJtw" rel="noopener">is pictured alongside</a> Allen at Tuesday night’s TGL event. Veteran quarterback Sam Darnold was also part of the bachelor group.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/JoshAllenQB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JoshAllenQB</a> and squad rolling deep tonight! 🏈🏌️ <a href="https://t.co/nH8177vRTq">pic.twitter.com/nH8177vRTq</a></p><p>— TGL (@TGL) <a href="https://twitter.com/TGL/status/1897071480451817953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 4, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Kirk being seen with Allen nearly went unnoticed until the Jaguars officially released the veteran wide receiver. Recent rumors suggest the Bills are in the market for a wideout this offseason. The fact that Kirk is close enough friends with Allen to be at his bachelor party certainly sparked speculation that Buffalo may attempt to sign Kirk.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/1stRowBillsFan/status/1897345955260981629" rel="noopener">One fan chimed in</a> the comments, claiming, “Christian Kirk just released!!!! Bring him in, [Brandon] Beane!!!!”</p><p>The Bills will likely be involved in numerous rumors throughout the offseason. After falling short of the Super Bowl once again, the franchise hopes to acquire more talent to make a serious push for a potential championship.</p><p>Kirk has played the last three seasons with the Jaguars, with the 2022 season being the best of his career. The 2024 campaign was the worst of Kirk’s career, as he dealt with injuries that prevented him from seeing much of the field. Through eight games played, the former Jaguar finished the season with 27 receptions, 379 receiving yards, and one touchdown. All of which were career lows.</p><p>As for Allen, he’s coming off his first MVP season after recording 3,731 passing yards, 531 rushing yards, 40 total touchdowns, and six interceptions while throwing a 63.6% completion percentage. The Bills may opt to select a wide receiver in the upcoming NFL Draft with the No. 30 pick overall.</p><p>However, the idea of signing Kirk could be in play for Buffalo. At the very least, Kirk would bring a veteran presence to a young wide receiver group. At the very least, he’d improve the depth on the roster for next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
