Instead of WRs becoming "quickly fungible", it's actually the opposite. Their salaries are exploding at the highest (or 2nd highest) rate of any position which indicates that NFL front offices have the complete opposite opinion than you.
Compare that to RB salaries, the actual fungible position, and you see little gains in contract values over the last several years. Contracts tell you what positions are fungible or not.
Just because they’re doing it doesn’t mean it’s correct. What did the contracts tell us when RBs were wildly overpaid?
They figure it out, eventually. Doesn’t mean there aren’t still great RBs and great WRs. Just means the difference twixt good ones and great ones isn’t as gigantic as many believe.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
