Pretty strong correlation - above the diagonal is better. Basically costs you $23 million a year for a 1,000 yd receiver.

Note Meyers and Hopkins could easily have been Patriots if Bill hadn't been quite so cheap.

We are missing a WR1, but my own inclination is to see what we have in our crowded WR room full of WR2/WR3s before we rush out onto the market, and also what we have on the OL. Whatever is missing can be patched in year 2 of the rebuild.

Interesting data from 2023, but what about the 2003 data you promised?

i would like to see this break down using the real contract numbers

on pft, florio has noted reek has been agitating in miami for a new deal... the last year of his contract was a bs my contract is the biggest number... so it was in actuality a 3 year 75m dollar deal... think it that abstract was used, you might find the real wr1 numbers are quite as high as the 23m shown here...

Hard to compare contracts with different guarantees and void years.

But you could redo the chart with fully guaranteed APY:
