Mike Evans getting the contract he did should have other wide receivers excited knowing they're about to get paid very well very soon.

3) CeeDee Lamb

Playing in his fourth NFL season, CeeDee Lamb proved that he's just as good if not better than Jefferson by putting up a monstrous season for the Dallas Cowboys.

The 24-year-old led the league with 135 receptions for 1,749 yards and 12 touchdowns in 17 games. The Cowboys' offense was explosive for much of the season, and Lamb's presence was the main reason why. He was able to be this productive despite having nearly 1,000 more yards receiving than any other Dallas skill position player and seeing his fair share of double teams.

Lamb has recorded over 1,000 yards in three of his four seasons, and the only season in which he didn't, his rookie campaign, saw him reel in 935 yards in the air despite being Dak Prescott's second option behind Amari Cooper.

Like Jefferson, Lamb is entering the final year of his deal before hitting free agency at the end of the 2024 season. Also like Jefferson, he'll be looking to be paid handsomely. Evans' contract should help in that regard.
