The Green Bay Packers are bound to be at the center of trade talks all off-season. Whether it be for a cornerback or wide receiver, Green Bay will likely be on the list of teams interested. Multiple reports have indicated that Green Bay is not only open to trading Jaire Alexander, but would also be interested in acquiring DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks.
That being said, another wide receiver was traded, and this time only for a seventh round draft pick.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero:
Trade! The #Jaguars are sending WR Christian Kirk to the #Texans, per source.
It’s a 2026 7th-round pick going to Jacksonville for Christian Kirk.
The #Texans take on Christian Kirk’s existing contract, which is set to pay him $16.5 million in 2025, the final year on the deal.
Under the direction of new coach Liam Coen, the Jaguars will revamp their receiver room.
Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reported Wednesday that Kirk would likely be released by the club, according to sources informed of the situation.
Due to Kirk’s $15.5 million base salary and the fact that he has no guaranteed money left on his contract, he was an obvious cut candidate this offseason. Kirk is just 28-years-old. Here is a look at his career stats:
