Despite showing trade interest during the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t land WR Christian Kirk for 2025. The Jacksonville Jaguars are trading him to the Houston Texans, per multiple Thursday reports.

Per Pelissero, the Texans are giving up a 2026 seventh round pick. However, they are absorbing all of Kirk’s 2025 base salary of $16.5 million, a key reason why the compensation is so light.
