NFL roundup: Which wide receiver will get paid next

June 12, 2024

Wide receivers around the league are getting paid. Just last week, Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings agreed on a huge 4-year, $140 million contract extension. There are several big name receivers around the league who are now looking to cash in after all these new deals. Ceedee Lamb is one of those guys and he is making it known he wants paid as he skipped the Dallas Cowboys mandatory minicamp last week. The Miami Dolphins just gave Jaylen Waddle a new deal and now it sounds like Tyreek Hill would like to get paid more now.
