Keep Tee Trade Chase

[*ochocincos*]

Very knee-jerk reaction to the two games this season, IMO.

In 2021-2022 regular season:

Chase - 2501 yards, 22 TDs
Higgins - 2120 yards, 13 TDs

While Higgins has better mitts, Chase offers a level of explosion that neither Higgins nor Boyd possesses.
Also, you have to pay Higgins $20+ mill 1-2 seasons earlier than Chase.
If the goal is to field as good of a team over the next couple years in the true Super Bowl window, you want to keep the cheaper options as long as possible.

With that said, you could probably get at least one early 1st rounder, if not multiple, for Chase.
I don't think you can get even one 1st rounder for Higgins, as he's in a contract year.

There will be a plethora of talented pass catchers worthy of the 1st round of the 2024 draft led by Marvin Harrison Jr and Brock Bowers, so it could be a great draft to get a pass catcher who is an immediate contributor.
And getting a draft pick in 2024 who is on a 5-year rookie contract would cover the entirety of Higgins' veteran contract, thereby reducing the giant cap hit that would come with paying two high-priced veteran pass catchers at the same time.
