Modern footballโ€™s offensive revolution has led to a salary explosion at two positions: quarterback and wide receiver. You donโ€™t have to be an online sports betting expert to have noticed the maximalist focus on NFL passing attacks.

Just a few years ago, it was rare to find a receiver making more than $15 million; in 2024, more than 10 receivers will make at least $20 million.ย 

Attribute some of that salary development to an ever-rising cap. The rest comes from an intense interest and increased appreciation for what an elite wide receiver can do these days.
