Remember when Cleveland fully guaranteed Rub and Tug's contract? Talk was other owners were upset and it hasn't happened since.
Signing a WR to a market-setting deal with 2 years remaining on the rookie contract has never (as far as I know) been done, is this a practice you think other owners want to start?
I get a handful of WRs who have signed lesser contracts this year.
I know the immediate reaction: "We don't owe other teams anything" if that's your thought then I ask you to research NFL Revenue Sharing.
I mean, Penei Sewell signed a contract this off-season that made him the highest paid T in the league with two years left on his deal. I don't see why it would be any different for a WR.
