WR Spending

That works if there is a top free agent WR. They don't hit the market. Last year the Jaguars gave Christian Kirk $20 apy. Will there be a #1 WR in free agency? I doubt it. Maybe Corey Davis who flopped with the Jets and is expected to be cut. DJ Charlk sure isn't a #1. The others are Nelson Agholar, Julio Jones, Allen Lazard, Jakobi Meyers, Jarvis Landry and JuJu. I see some good complimentary receivers but no #1 types

Ex, even though I thought we underfunded the WR position, I didn't realize it was this bad. Thanks for posting the numbers.

The Ravens, "Can I please buy a first rate NFL wide receiver? I'll show you the money."

That wisdom, from the 19th century, still applies today... Bc

Oh its our franchise QB's fifth year option and its time to see if he's a big boi QB or if he's just a one trick pony

Keeps Greg Roman, trades Hollywood, and spends least in the league at WR.

Nice job guys

Lamar's fault. He's supposed to elevate.

They drafted another WR in the first round, extended Stanley at LT and drafted a center in the first round all to help him

Huh, this might not correlate well to winning?

It doesn't even correlate well to having a good WR group

It’s a one year sample size. Something we’ve already discussed in detail in this thread.

Yup.

Like QB's, the true top guys almost never hit the market. You either hit in the draft or you trade for one.

We used to not draft them...we seem to at least draft them now, we just are missing.
