It'll be a lot more than that. Somebody will see him as the missing piece in their offense, a home run hitter (which he IS, under the right circumstances) and back up a truckload of money.

No one is going to back up the truck for Hardman. Show me any WR that has gotten a truckload of money when they haven't ever went over 700 yds. He's averaged less than 600 yds a season and plays with Mahomes. He would have had to almost hit 1000 yds this season to even get a Christian Kirk type of deal. He's gonna get an MVS type of deal.

MVS has everything you'd want in a WR

4.37 speed
6'4" and 200 lbs

well, that's $10m a year. I call that hefty sum. I don't think anyone's going to pay him Tyreek money, no.

I don't think I would pay him that, not if you have Toney, who can do a lot of similar things.

I like MVS fine, but we'll probably have to decide on either him or Juju next year; I kind of doubt we can afford both.
