It's gutted the Titans. Just absolutely killed them. Because they don't have a force multiplier under center and NOTHING to complement their running game.

It goosed the Eagles big time. AJ Brown has had a massive impact on their offense.

But it got the Raiders and Dolphins very little. It didn't hurt the Chiefs one whit and ultimately I think the mistake the Packers made was 1) to not ad ANY reliable veteran depth to replace Adams and 2) To act like Rodgers is still Rodgers.

The early returns say that paying a haul for a WR probably isn't a great idea, especially not if you trade a bucket of picks for the right to do so. If you have a great QB, he can make his WR corps if you have solid representative talent (The Chiefs). But you can't just expect your QB to work with scraps and rookies or you're gonna have a rough go of it for awhile (Packers).

On the flipside, If you have a bad QB, there's not much a great WR can do about it (i.e. The Raiders). So I guess your middle ground is that if you have a solid young QB, especially one on a rookie deal, you can probably benefit from adding a high-end WR to the team because it shouldn't preclude you from surrounding that duo with good complementary talent (Eagles). I mean even the Dophins won 8 straight games that Tua started/finished to begin the season. So they clearly benefited for awhile. I'm honestly not real sure why the wheels flew off in Miami.
JJSS will get a nice contract but it won't be in the Tyreek/Adams area. There is no way the Chiefs are going back to the Robinsons/Pringles of the NFL next year. Watson hasn't been all we thought he would and Skyy is still struggling. MVS has been very pedestrian - although he has had some critical catches late in games, he disappears for most of the game. The only consistent pass catchers we have are JJSS and Kelce and to a lesser extent (when he is on the field) Toney
