Actually, some of the money taken from WRs might go to TEs, a bit more to the top TE's, and you might see teams that have two very solid ones signing both to good contracts.

RBs were paid extremely well at one time. Then, teams realized the passing game was the key and some of the RB money started going to WRs. Now, as they realize that one outstanding guy might not be as valuable as two or three really good ones, the top guys might get less and the #2 and #3 WRs along with the #1 & #2 TEs will get some of it.

OL is another example. Pay used to be somewhat equal, then LTs searched up the pay scale. RT's followed as LT salaries leveled a bit. Now guards and centers are catching up.

With so many different positions and skills on a team, some are always underpaid comparatively; but historically they catch up.

Not too long ago, many kickers and punters barely made minimum salaries. Then, an elite one gets a good contract, and others follow, taking cap dollars away from other positions.

Maybe its time for longsnappers to go on strike..........
