WR position is now the highest paid behind QB?

[Hawkeye0202]

This may have something to do with the FO using another high pick in this draft although we have Lamb and Gallup. In other words, considering four of the top five WRs are making $25M+, we could see some teams recycling the position every 3/4 years. Ask yourself, would you pay Lamb $25-30M in 2 years?

If Lamb is worth that in 2 years sure, but he is not in that universe right now.

These new WR contracts are rediculous. Good for the players though

It will be extremely hard for anyone to become what we see as a #1 WR here with the current QB and OC combo.

That's true, so in that case, if Lamb can over come all that then make that man the highest paid WR in the league.

you must have missed Bosa and others deals a few DEs make 27mil the other nfl players woke up and demanded to be paid more due to qbs making so much...all salary's are going up as players are tired of seeing qbs make so much

Ridiculous statement. Dak/Rush threw for almost 5k yards this past season. Unless of course you’re referring to the “spread the ball around mentality”. Otherwise This alternate reality stuff some on here post is absolutely bonkers.

True but none have cracked $30M ( Hill )

This isn’t surprising at all. The Super Bowl featured the two best receiving corps in the league and the two best WRs in Kupp and Chase. Ja’marr alone turned multiple 10-20 yd gains into long scorched earth touchdowns with raw athletic ability and speed. It’s arguable that WR is now the second most important position over LT and DEs.

Not just the WR's contracts, the entire NFL contracts.

Which is why we need to evaluate him now rather than based on an improved contract year. You were drafted and expected to be a WR1....show us.

What about this Dead CAP guy, we always seem to be paying him top wack.

You seem to think Dak is the problem so Lamb would be Jefferson if he was playing with Kyler.

That is part of what plays into it that doesn't really Force the ball that's not a negative killing more also doesn't design plays specifically to get one person the ball very often those aren't necessarily negatives but it lends to the fact that they will not have a number one receiver like most other teams

Get ready for more as the new tv money kicks in. Probably take about 2 years or so to balance back out

Just seen on NFLN, Stefan Diggs signed a 4 year $96 million deal to stay in Buffalo.

This isn't a Dak thread.

This isn't a Dak thread.

Lamb will be the Cowboys number 1 receiver this season. If healthy he will have 90+ catches and over 1200 yards. He will get a top salary when he is a free agent.
