It's like seeing that Derek Carr shits his pants in the red zone under pressure. If you watch it, you can see it.
Upgrading at the WR spots outside of Rice is not about having another 1,000 yard receiver there. It's just about having better players around the 2 guys you're trying to emphasize.
KC needs to improve the threat level defenses perceive in defending the ball outside the intermediate ranges of the field. It also needs to improve the ability to beat man coverage. There are multiple paths to those two components, but failure to address them will lead to another frustrating year for the offense. Relying solely on draft picks and tier 3 bargain FAs is a narrow path (that we just walked). Repeating it COULD work. Or could not.
I get the sticker shock (I'm still experiencing it) but it is what it is, and it's across the board. Rising top-of-market deals lift all deals. Including at WR.

I don't get the sticker shock at all.
Our best WR is a 2nd round cost controlled asset and we are likely adding another high drafted WR this year.
Paying 1 WR 12 million is peanuts in the grand scheme of things.
We just cut MVS who saved us the $$$ so why not go use it on a player that is worth what we were going to pay him?
