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.
What is ridiculous is that you expect TEE & his Agent to negotiate down from the numbers that Devonta Smith just got based
on differences of 138 yards per season and .3 td's per season when the outlier 656 yard season pulls down TEE's numbers.
Injuries are part of the game and Devonta can just as easily have injury issues in 2024 as TEE can.
It isn't just TEE's height that Teams may favor for a #1 receiver role but also the weight difference of 219 versus 170 pounds.
Some Teams may prefer TEE's body type, others may not but Devonta has chosen to stay in a #2 role which is interesting.
TEE may not want to be 2nd fiddle and his Agent will negotiate using every lever he can to maximize the Money including possible #1 potential.
I doubt that many NFL GM's see this GREAT difference of Devonta being Head & Shoulders better than TEE the way you do.
