I think that trend is going to continue and yes some of those teams have some split backs etc.. but Mixon we deemed last year as the bell cow... we know what we have.. and with the trend I would pay him and lets start listing some top WRS with losing teams:  Top 3 WRs did not make the playoffs last year.. I believe six of the nine highest paid WRs last year have not made the playoffs the last two years:  And many of those players are on 2nd year contracts also....

Top rushers for those teams...

Ravens: $5m/yr RB vet & UDFA on a rookie contract
49ers: UDFA on a $2.9m/yr deal & UDFA on a rookie contract
Titans: 2nd round pick on a rookie contract & RB vet on a 1yr/$1.15m deal


None of them had either of their top two rushers in 2019 making more than $5m/yr. Three of them were still on rookie deals, and three of them were UDFAs.

As for WRs, you're barking up the wrong tree trying to score a point on that one. I have openly been a person who didn't want to bring AJ Green back due to the money/injury risk. I was on team sign an okay one in FA and then use a 2nd on a WR or TE.
