Again, everyone is paying their receivers if they think they are good. It would make sense not to do it...but that's not happening. Who is the best FA WR we have seen in the last few seasons? Christian Kirk? They aren't letting them hit FA, they are either paying them or trading them to someone who will pay them. Which means there is still massive demand for the top WR's after the top 8-10.
Reminder, what I replied to was a statement that beyond the top 8-10 WRs teams are devaluing the WR position in favor of just drafting guys and the money being spent just doesn't currently align to that thought as OP mentioned. Teams are actually realizing it seems they want multiple really good WRs either by draft, trade, or signing.
Have you looked at what their salaries and deals are vs what Chase is being reported as wanting? He's demanding almost double some of them and hasn't proven he's worth top dollar like Jefferson has.
Chase had the 12th most yards in 2023
Chase had the 17th most yards in 2022
Chase had the 4th most yards in 2021
