It just doesn't ever happen where once a market is set, it goes backwards. I'd say the 25-30 million dollar mark for high end WR's is where it's gonna be.
Then you get some middle tier guys slot in below that, but they're gonna do cheaper shorter deals and try to continue to cash in.
If you want a borderline #1 guy, you either draft him and have him cheap then pay, or you overpay the FA one that hits the market. And usually, there's a reason said guy is hitting the market.

The swing from last year to this year was gigantic. It was more like 1/3 last year and we not only created a totally new top 5, those guys received generational pay hikes. Herbert, burrow, Lamar, hurts, new money for mahomes. Even geno and Daniel Jones are new money. Next year you add tua and Trevor Lawrence. Their just isn't the disposable cap there once was. At some point teams like philly and Cincy and the chargers can't keep hoarding WR talent. Teams that were stockpiling 3 WRs may keep 1-2.
The WR market will drop if only because it was so absurd just a few years ago. There will soon be an oversupply of really good talent and more teams with way less disposable income.
