Can anyone explain to me why guys like Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley make less than half the money than even 2nd and 3rd tier receivers?
These are some contracts given out this past offseason:
Saquon avg salary: 12m
Henry avg salary: 8m
Pittman avg salary: 23m
Ridley avg salary: 23m
Jeudy avg salary: 17.5m
McLaurin avg salary: 23m
This seems to me like a major market inefficiency. Can anyone seriously argue that these guys are worth more than DOUBLE the value compared to Saquon and Henry? Do they really contribute twice as much towards winning football games? If there is an argument out there I would love to see it
