Great point.
While LaFell did fill in respectfully at WR2 in Jones' place and they drafted Boyd to be Sanu's replacement, it just never felt quite as good.

If Higgins and Boyd do both leave at the same time, I'd hope Charlie Jones is good enough going into next year to give confidence he can handle slot duties full-time. Iosivas might end up doing ok if taking the mantle from Higgins, but I'm skeptical he'd be a 800+ yard WR after just one year of growth.
Personally, I'd hope they could bring in a cheaper vet on a 2-year stopgap while Iosivas continued to develop.
I haven't really looked much into potential FA WRs next year, but looking now, I see some guys that MIGHT be able to get 700-900 yards and come relatively cheap?
Michael Pittman Jr (although he might price himself as a low-end WR1)
DJ Chark
Laviska Shenault
Mecole Hardman
Donovan Peoples-Jones


None of those guys other than Pittman would actually make me fill confident though lol
