Overview
- Multiple outlets reported the agreement, with the Associated Press citing an anonymous source because the team has not announced it and ESPN pegging the value at up to $6 million.
- Kirk, 29, arrives after a 2025 season with the Texans that included 28 catches for 239 yards and one touchdown, plus an eight-catch, 144-yard performance in the wild-card round.
- He is expected to operate primarily from the slot with the versatility to line up outside in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
- The move follows San Francisco’s signing of Mike Evans, placing Evans, Kirk and Ricky Pearsall among the top options as reporting indicates the team plans to move on from Brandon Aiyuk.
- Kirk’s short-term value reflects recent injuries and declining output, with the AP noting he has missed 18 games over the past three seasons.
