I wish we could give him between 21 and 23 million a year, but I don't think we will offer that. For some reason the number i have stuck in my head is 18 million a season for four seasons.

He won't sign for $18M per season. Why should he? He can just sign the franchise tag contract again and be guaranteed $24 in 2017. That adds up to $43M fully guaranteed over two seasons and then he can negotiate again prior to the 2018 season. That is a no-brainer for Kirk.
