Guys like tee Higgins and chase and Jefferson haven't even been paid yet. It'll drive the market up for the best of the besf but leave way less dollars for everyone else.
I also think we're seeing way more cautionary tales of WRs miserable with their qb situation.
Youd have to think the WR market becomes way more reasonable soon.

It corrected last off-season, but part of that was a dearth of available options.
I don't think the top end is going to correct itself, though. More money is being pumped into the system; Jefferson and Chase can ask for (and will receive) more than Hill got. That top of the market is going to keep getting higher and higher.
What you might see is what we saw with QBs about 6-8 years ago; the QB middle class formed instead of every swinging dick free agent passer becoming the new highest paid QB in NFL history...
That's really where you may see some shifts in the FA landscape, IMO.
