I was just noting that the WR market in general has been exploding over the last 2 offseasons and how it relates to Higgins as well as what WRs are getting today vs when Chad played. It's wild to me to think that Higgins tag number is a shade under 1/2 of Chad's career earnings.

Chase's deal is a year off at this point. At least to me it is with the 5 year extension. Other WR deals will get done between now and Chase.

With inflation considered it’s not close to half. Palmer was also the highest paid QB for a minute at $16m/year.

All positions have exploded.

In 2005 the salary cap was $85,500,000. From what I could find, it looks like Moss was the highest paid receiver at $9M AAV (10.5% of cap)

Salary cap is now $255m, so around 3x. Including Jefferson’s 2024 salary, his earnings will be $159.743 million through five years, or 31.8m/year (12.5% of cap).

So yes, it’s higher, but not by as much as you would think.
