Both are the same age, both are the #2 wide receiver on their Teams and their Stats are fairly close versus far apart.

Smith 916,  1,196 & 1,066 yard seasons.    6 foot 170 pounds   4.54 forty

Higgins 908, 1,091, 1,029 & 656 yard seasons (TEE & his QB injured for the 656)   6 foot 4  219 pounds    4.59 forty 

TEE & his Agent will likely hold up the Devanta Smith deal as a good COMP for what TEE should be paid & I think they would have a fair Point.

Higgins may have a more desirable Body Type to many Teams looking for a possible #1 receiver.

$24 million per year may be a floor with TEE & his Agent not liking that floor after seeing what Devonta just got. (making $25 million per their floor)

As I posted in the other thread, DeVonta Smith is just more productive than Tee.  Smith averages 1059 yards per season with 6.3 TDs.  Higgins averages 921 yards per season with 6 TDs.  Smith also doesnt miss games like Tee does.  You cant say they are comparable when one guy plays more and has better stats.  Higgins should not be payed as much as Smith.  Trying to use the excuse that Tee is taller as some kind of justification to pay him as much as Smith is ridiculous.
