These WR contracts are out of control. This shows you need to draft WR's every year. Let them play out their rookie contracts and let them walk and draft more. Better yet, Trade them 1 year before they become a free agent. Only the premium positions you should pay market value.
All the contracts are getting crazy. Players at postions other than QB and WR are asking for more and more too. It reminds me of a movie (And Justice For All) where AlPacino is a lawyer and he starts yelling in court. "You're out of order. You're out of order. The whole trial is out of order." That's the way I feel about the salaries in sports.
That's what happens when the salary cap goes up and the NFL profits keep rising. These guys should be paid what they are worth, now the general public wages need to go up as well. Hard to understand how a athlete who can throw or catch a ball makes more or the same as a person who can put a different heart in someones chest.
It's what the market will bear not what they're worth.
Why is a QB worth 50+ million a year today vs 5,10,15 years ago? He's not.
I don't know about you but I don't get any more enjoyment watching a QB making 50 million a year than I did watching the Manning bros, Rivers, Favre or any other QB play, on their respective salaries. 😂
I can guarantee if owner's had an unspoken rule to cap QB's at 50 mil a year none of them would say forget it, I'm quitting football and going to work in what I earned a degree for in College, as well as capping all other positions.
Increases would only come as the cap goes up but make it so QB's don't get the lions share of the increase to where it's spread more evenly on a percentage basis to all position groups, not just QB,DE,CB,WR.
