Every NFL team looks for that sweet spot either in the draft or through free agency so they can clinch a quarterback, a Qb for decades like Tom Brady worth building a team around. It's fair to say Captain Tom had weapons around him, whether it's Gronk or those fast and gritty receivers like Randy Moss, Antonio Brown, and Julian Edelman.

Rewind ten years; you would have laughed at me if I said a receiver could be worth 22 Million dollars a year, but good for those route runners, there has been a turnaround. The offensive line may be a suspect these days, but you need receivers; look at the 2021 Bengals team who drafted Ja'Marr Chase over Penei Sewell. With the rise in trade value, we have seen teams unable to pay their best-receiving options as the salary cap hits the market. Teams have lured the likes of Devante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Amari Cooper, and many more just this offseason with a massive contract. Many players have set the bar living up to that amount, while the others are giving their best performance in the game, trying to post numbers and ranking upside.

With the numbers shifting dramatically every off-season, here is the list of the top 20 wide receivers who get paid one could ever dream of.
