I agree the number is closer to 25 million a year for Higgins. If so, we are getting a deal in 2024 and we can tag him again in 2025 for around 25 or 26 million.
The agent may be a tough negotiator, but not so sure he is in the driver's seat. If they want to secure Higgins future, they know Bengals could lock him up again in 2025 and know Bengals have the cap space to do it.
It is a huge risk for a WR or any player to play on one year deals when you are only 25 years old. One bad hit, a torn ACL or a number of injuries and the value drops quickly.
