Has Tee Higgins "checked out"?

I don't think Boyd is netting a 1st round pick. He's about to turn 29 and his production has declined in 4 straight seasons and likely 5 straight.

I love the guy, but he was never a premeir WR and is really just a decent 3 at this point.

I'd expect a 3rd rounder at best, tbh, unless Hue gets a HC gig somewhere.

Unless there is an undisclosed injury issue going on, it's beginning to look like (to me anyway) that he's giving a "phone it in" level of effort this season.

Not playing well surely wont help that BIG contract campaign lol

Defender was grabbing with both hands, should've been a no call.
