= Tee would be cheaper even with consecutive franchise tags
Tee should be cheaper. He is not as good as Metcalf. DK Metcalf this year had 1114 yards averaging 16.7 per catch with 8 TDs. Tee Higgins had 656 yards a 15.6 average with 5 TDs. In the 4 seasons Higgins has been in the league, he has only had one season where he had more yards or TDs than Metcalf. Over this 4 year period Higgins has been in the league, Metcalf has scored 36 TDs while Higgins has scored 24. Metcalf has put up 4432 yards while Higgins has put up 3684. Higgins is not in Metcalf's class so Im not sure why anyone would compare a top 10 WRs pay to someone that is not a top 10 WR.
Also Tee's tag this year will cost 21.81 million which puts a second tag a little over 26 million next year which is about 2 million more than you posted.
