I ran a really quick experiment on this earlier in the off-season. In 2021, there were six receivers ahead of Higgins in yards per game. These receivers were Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, Deebo Samuels, Justin Jefferson, Chris Godwin, and Chase. I used Spotrac's Market Value tab to come up with a theoretical figure. Here is what I found...
Cooper Kupp - $26.7MM (recent extension)
Davante Adams - $28MM (recent new contract)
Deebo Samuels - $24.5MM (market value estimate)
Chris Godwin - $20.7MM (market value estimate)
Justin Jefferson/Chase - No market value estimate available
I then just averaged those up to get a Higgins number. It comes out to $24.97MM per year. If Higgins stays healthy and continues his line of production, I think he will command between $20MM and $25MM.
