The Math Behind the Wide Receiver Blockbusters

Another wild week, so we’re going with another notes-style GamePlan column …

I had a really interesting conversation on Thursday morning with an NFC exec who has a pro scouting background. Over the course of a half-hour, we talked through what’s turned out to be the top storyline on this offseason’s undercard, behind only the big-box quarterback moves of the last month, and that’s what has gone with receivers over the last week or so.

“So, and this is my opinion, when you have a high-priced quarterback, it’s hard to have a high-priced receiver,” the exec said.
