For the first time in QFL history WRs are more expensive than RBs. The era of the WR is here according to a just released study of QFL franchise and rookie contract pricing over the last 4 years. Not only is it more costly to franchise a WR than a RB, the rookie contracts are more expensive too, reflecting a trend that is probably here to stay.
QB franchise and rookie contract pricing has been level at $20 and $12 respectively forever. Franchising a DEF has been steady at $10 forever too. TE pricing is still being skewed by FahQs $14 Dallas Clark fiasco in 2011.
