To his credit, he's played through a lot of them, but if he doesn't have an extension, he will probably have to make a business decision and not jeopardize his big payday. Boyd is in a similar boat, but less of a concern because he's been more durable and has already been paid once.
Iosivas is really the only depth guy we have with similar traits to Higgins(tall, leaping ability, catch radius), so he is a guy that you could immediately slot into that role and run a lot of the same concepts without having to tinker with the offense too much. That's not to say that Iosivas is as or ever will be as good as Tee, but he can play in a similar role in the offense.
All very true, maybe that is a reason the Tee extension hasn't happened yet, they are waiting to see Iosivas in the Preseason and see
if he really could be a Tee replacement on down the road. Sure would allow us to afford a lot of players that keep this team solid in the
trenches if we don't have to pay Tee 23 mil a year.
