Contract Year | Third Year Receivers
It's no secret players often perform above their career averages during the final year of their contract. With the money tossed around during free agency these days, a great contract year can mean instant financial security, so there's a lot of added motivation to play at a high level. You can use that motivation to your advantage if you know which players to look for.
