The NFL's wide receiver market has exploded during the offseason thanks to a new batch of huge, lucrative contracts doled out in free agency.Players like , and even helped to reset the receiver market in the early stages of the offseason with ma sive, long-term contracts. That opened the door for players like , A.J. Brown and Hunter Renfrow to get high-value extensions too.The latest receiver to get a lucrative contract is Terry McLaurin. The Commanders star signed a three-year, $71 million contract
Tyson Ross Jersey with a $28 million
Brad Hand Jersey signing bonus, the largest ever for a wide receiver. He will be the seventh-highest-paid receiver in terms of average annual value as a result of the new deal.MORE: McLaurin isn't the only one set to benefit from this new deal, however. reports that McLaurin's signing will help to further define the receiver market and could accelerate talks between the 49ers and Deebo Samuel as well as the Seahawks and DK Metcalf.There is optimism surrounding a potentially huge deal for San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel, league sources told Pro Football Network. There is also a widely held expectation in league circles
Rollie Fingers Jersey that the Seattle Seahawks will ultimately reward DK Metcalf with a new contract that will make him one of the highest-paid players in the game, per league sources.Both Samuel, 26, and Metcalf, 24, are among the top young receivers in the NFL and both reportedly are looking for new, long-term contracts. Thus, it's hardly a surprise to see the two extension-eligible stars among the players expected to ink
Eric Hosmer Jersey new deals in the near future.MORE: The 49ers have reportedly been willing to sign Samuel to an extension.

"I think I'm gonna be

That could allow him to more easily a se s his value as he looks to remain with the Seahawks long-term.There's no guarantee that either Samuel or Metcalf will sign long-term extensions, but at least their value on the burgeoning receiver market is now easier to peg.
