Mahomes signed his contract in 2020, Hurts signed his in 2023 so of course his contract would be different.  Mike Evans just signed his contract 2 days ago.  Tee Higgins would be signing in the same year as Evans.  You cant say someone else is going to get paid more 4 years from now so Higgins needs to have his contract based on what the salary cap might be in 4 years.  You have to deal with the current salary cap and where everyone fits right now.  As of right now Higgins isnt as good as Evans and shouldnt be paid like Evans.

Truth. Evans was a top 10 WR last year easily and some could put him in the top 5 and some wouldn't argue with it.

Tee at best is a top 20 WR and is banged up a lot. Is he a top #2 WR? Yes, but he is asking for #1 money and that isn't happening here.

We have our #1 to pay in Ja'Marr Chase who is a top 5 WR.
