Ok I get what you're saying, I apologize for the snootiness.
Do I think Lockett is worth more? No I don't. But Locket just negotiated for that guaranteed money, which when put into perspective, is happening more often around the league. The shift has already begun where players want more guaranteed money.
Baldwin's contract doesn't have as much in guarantees, but it IS worth more on both a per year and total basis. 4 years/$46MM is objectively more than 3 years/$31.8MM, is it not? Keep in mind, Doug's deal was done in 2016 not today. In the meantime, the salary cap has increased by roughly $20MM and WR salaries have increased by a very large percentage.
