Freeman held out through the first two weeks of training camp while reportedly seeking a contract worth more than $6 million a year, which could have made him the game's highest-paid receiver.

And it is becoming clear that the contract Johnson wants would not only make him the highest-paid wide receiver in football, it would also make him the highest-paid player.

It was a highly-publicized transaction, which made Johnson the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, and increased expectations for the club.

He is now pro football's highest-paid receiver.

The highest-paid receiver is Tampa Bay's Keyshawn Johnson, who signed an eight-year, $56 million deal last year.

When Johnson's current deal expires in two years, he could become the highest-paid receiver in football.

Eric Moulds of Buffalo is in talks with the Bills that could make him one of the highest-paid receivers in the league.

He is now the highest-paid receiver in pro football.

On March 14, 2012, Johnson signed an 8-year extension worth $132 million with the Detroit Lions, with $60 million guaranteed, making Johnson the highest-paid receiver in the league.

The figure represents the average salary of the 10 highest-paid wide receivers last year.
