You can’t afford to pay all 3 of Boyd, Higgins and Chase... do we let Boyd got at some point? I think that is the answer, but it’s tough to say cuz I love the guy.

So by the time a player like Chase's rookie deal expires (after year 5 unless we don't pick up hsi 5th year option), Boyd would be 32 years old.  That's getting pretty up there in age for a WR.

Drafting Ja'Marr Chase and having Tee Higgins would make Tyler Boyd an even better trade candidate in 2022. Young solid slot receivers with 2 years left on a team friendly deal.
