The right play might be a 3 year deal for mediocre starter money, letting him prove himself and earn a big QB payday down the road. Meanwhile at same time scout QBs and draft one if you think you've found the next Russell Wilson.

Luckily we don't need to decide now. Let the season play out.

It's not that simple, Schneed, because Kirk can become a FA in 2016. The Skins can't just decide how much they would like to pay him or even if they get to keep him.

If Kirk plays well, by the time this season is over we may have real competition from other teams for Kirk's services. If so, we'll probably need to pay him more money on a longer contract if we want to keep him.
