$350,000 per catch if he has a 100 catch season. Six catches a game. That is bonkers.
Sure seems like the college game is started to churn out a lot of good WRs.
Andy Reid and the chiefs GM Veach have been building some damn good teams in recent years. I notice they are not handing out any of these bloated WR contracts.
Folks want to point to KC, but no other team has Andy Reid and the greatest receiving TE of all time. And they paid Cheetah for years, getting one of their two rings with him.
Chase is a stud and should be paid. Everything else aside, he's a guy who's proven in big games he can just put this team on his back and carry them. I'm 100% good with relying on draft picks for WR2-3. However, that means we're going to have to consistently spend premium draft capital there year after year. If there's one thing this board hates, it's drafting WR's early.
