Higgins: $25-27m/yr
Chase: $30-35m/yr
Boyd doesn't move the needle enough financially, even if you trade him, to make paying both of them plausible. You said you can't see almost $60m tied up in 3 WRs, but signing both Higgins and Chase will probably average $60m for 2 WRs.
Thats why I theorized we may try to trade Higgins for an early 1st this year since he still has one year left on his rookie deal unlike how Brown and Brown did. I doubt they would do it but if say Johnston made it down to Tenn pick or Houston and offer to trade them for a proven star vs projected star.
It can make sense on both sides too. Houston with a likely new QB gets a reliable proven target to help develop him. Or likewise for Tenn as a mentor to Burks and others while also preventing Houston from hlgetting him. We would work out having the proce controlled contract.
Now that may be too high a pick but a theory in motion.
