When we're looking at last year's FA WRs, you're talking about Mike Williams at 20mm and Christian Kirk at 18mm. Both of those were before the Hill and Adams deals which will inevitably set the market even higher.
If Mike Williams were available this offseason at 22mm, would you want him? Or Kirk at 20mm? Because that's the caliber of player you're looking at there.

Yes absolutely. I disagree with o.city that we need a top flight WR1. I’m plenty comfortable with a mid-level to low WR1. We just need a true WR1 who can match up against top CBs. That bumps everyone else down the rotation which makes all other WRs better too. In fact I prefer it because while $20m seems like a lot it’s still a substantial savings over paying a top guy $30m. And we offset that by turning around and immediately cutting Mvs. Hell, a good enough WR allows you to cap what you’re willing to offer juju.
There is going to be an absurd amount of activity coming soon. Josh Allen, Herbert, burrow, hurts, Lamar are going to get huge contracts. The consequences of deals like Russell Wilson will hit. Teams like Tampa and Indy and Carolina will start wrecking ball their roster. Now, I’m willing to be patient if we need to be. But as a perfect example, there’s no way the bengals keep Boyd and Higgins and good chance they can’t keep either. Wouldnt you gladly scoop either of those guys up?
