Will CeeDee Lamb deal exceed $30M a year? How market affects Cowboys' extension-seeking WR.

A common misconception regarding today's NFL wide-receiver market is that Tyreek Hill's contract extension in 2022, worth $120 million across four years, created some kind of benchmark for other top receivers. Hill's annual average of $30 million was highly inflated, as the Miami Dolphins used a $43.9 million salary without guarantees for the deal's final season. Inevitably, a wide receiver would come along whose $30 million annual average is beyond reproach. The Philadelphia Eagles' A.J. Brown and Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown recently cleared the $30 million mark in new-money earnings.
