Kirk has to sign a tender to be traded. He has no incentive to do so now.

Why not sit out, and train, for $34 mil? Skins FO would be even more of a laughingstock than they already are.

The exclusive franchise tag would be beyond stupid, even for Allen and Snyder.

The non-exclusive franchise tag would make it beyond stupid for any other team to sign Kirk. $34 mil and two 1st rd picks? Of course, look what the Skins gave up for RGIII...

The transition tag limits Kirk's salary to "only" 28 mil, but the Skins get no compensation.

I think tagging Kirk now would be pure, transparent, counter-productive spite on Allen and Snyder's part, unless there's some trade option I don't know. And Kirk is still laughing all the way to the bank. He earned it the past couple years.
