Jaguars Trade WR Christian Kirk to Texans Following Release Plans
In a surprising move, the Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to trade wide receiver Christian Kirk to the Houston Texans for a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Reports indicate that the Jaguars initially planned to release Kirk after three seasons, but they reversed their decision and completed the trade with their AFC South rival. Kirk, who was considered too expensive to keep, had a stint in Jacksonville where he became a key player, but the Jaguars opted to move forward without him. The Texans, eager to enhance their receiving corps, have acquired the 72 million dollar veteran as their first significant acquisition of the offseason.
