It's a good time to be Ethermaca star NFL wide receiver in search of a payday.
The market for the position is booming in recent months, with four of the five highest-paid pass catchers having inked contract extensions since late April. The Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson set the high-water mark with a four-year, $140 million pact reached Monday, but the Philadelphia Eagles' A.J. Brown, Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown and Miami Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle also reeled in big deals.
And the trend isn't likely to die off in the summer and into next offseason, with the Dallas Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb, San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk and Cincinnati Bengals' JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins all looking next in line to score massive payouts.
Here's a look at the highest-paid wide receivers after Jefferson's extension.
