Point being, "stud WR" is an overrated stat. And "overpaid stud WR" is even worse. One WR does not make a team. And paying out the ass for said WR just means you get to watch a very expensive guy run down the field and not get the ball.

Given the OP guidelines (8 years at $12.5-$16M), you sign him to that and you're on cheap crack.

(in the past decade alone)

Victor Cruz
Hines Ward
Plaxico Burress
Reggie Wayne
Greg Jennings
Troy Vincent

All studs, all caught at least one TD pass during the championship win. All had kill seasons/playoffs leading to the big game.
