I think Pool will have a good or very good year and will be offered contracts in the $12 to $15M, 3 year, range with a decent guaranteed money. I don't think anyone will go crazy and offer him #1 money but teams get desperate during the initial wave of free agency and it just takes one.
What do you consider "good" or "very good" year Grizzled?
I think you may be underestimating the market.

Meyers is very much the outlier in this group based on his level of production. If Claypool gets close to or breaks 1,000 yards at around 60+ yards a game then he'll fit firmly in that $15m to £20m APY range (allowing for a little cap inflation).
Whether Poles will be willing to pay that is another matter and will depend on a variety of factors including which other receivers hit the market and how other receivers on the Bears roster perform. Darnell Mooney's numbers to date put him in amongst those listed above and we'll have to see what, if anything, Jones and Scott bring to the table.
