The deal is MASSIVE and sets the market for other free-agent receivers. $84 million for 4 years! $21 million per year is enormous for Kirk.
Even if the Bears have a need at receiver, the market seems very high and they should probably wait for 2nd-tier players or attack it in the draft. Adding good depth pieces at a lower cost would make perfect sense if Poles targets a #1 receiver in the draft.
