The #1 WR matters when it comes to contract negotiations and that is honestly the most important thing in football to 90% of the players.

Look no further then the Bates discussion. He wants to be here and believes he is a top safety. He's going out to prove it this season. Well, the way Higgins worked out he believes he is the go to WR, the guy most plays are scripted for, the guy who when you need a catch or a big play you go to.

This a,b,c x,y,z stuff.... Chad was the X. TJ the Z, Henry the slot (deep threat) Y. And Chad was the guy and everyone knew it, as I said earlier it is why TJ left because he wanted to be paid like the #1, it is why Marvin Jones left.

Use all the letters you want, in the mind of players there is a #1 guy on a team. The Y in Pittsburgh was Antonio Brown and he was the #1 guy. He got the $$$ and the most targets.

This team has had this issue before, usually from developing a late round pick TJ or Marvin Jones and that guy leaving for more money. This time they literally drafted themselves into the problem.
