The NFL is ever-evolving and front offices around the league are always working to keep up with and stay ahead of league-wide trends. This off-season we have seen an intriguing trend develop involving the wide receiver position.
With big paydays coming up for some of the best wide receivers in the league, we saw the market explode to $30 million for the best pass-catchers in the game. With the league as pass happy as ever, it makes sense that the players who make that aspect of your offense better, become more valuable.
However, with some teams shelling out big money for the best wide receivers in the league, other teams have approached the handling of that position much differently. The Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers elected to trade their superstar-level wide receivers as opposed to paying them the high-dollar contract they command. The San Francisco 49ers could possibly join them.
