The other guys like Metcalf and Samuel are absolutely going to make Tyreek money at some point. Hell, Diontae Johnson told the Steelers he wants Stephon Diggs/Cooper Kupp money, which would put him in the top 3-5 highest-paid WR's in the league.

Yeah, there's a 'new normal' on the WR market.
Time to start making chicken salad, Pat. Lots of it.
And Veach needs to start using more 2nd day capital on the position. Maybe treat it like many teams treat CBs. Just take one in the 2nd or 3rd round literally every single year. Take another on the 3rd day some years if the board falls right.
Just start firing bullets while you look for 2nd wave FAs to supplement the WR room.
But there's NOTHING to be gained by tossing mid-level QB contracts at a WR. It's just a disaster waiting to happen. But it will KEEP happening because teams with QBs on rookie deals will have the space and the justification to spend it (gotta give my young QB some weapons!).
Some perfect storm stuff for WRs, really. Which is surprising - the game has gotten easier for them in many many ways.
