Episode Details

This lets them keep their investment ($3M) while freeing up roster spots for younger, active receivers. Kirk’s behind the curve learning Shanahan’s complex offense and building chemistry with Brock Purdy — and his injury history raises serious doubts about his return timeline or even durability. It’s a strategic gamble to avoid wasting money, but it leaves big questions about his role if he ever comes back.
