$25m/yr is what AJ Brown got just last year and DK Metcalf got $24m/yr. If Higgins hit FA, he'd get offered $25m/yr by multiple teams. $25m/yr won't even be top-5 when the season starts, it'll probably be tied for 7th for 2023 and then fall out of the top-10 in 2024.
Consider me extremely untrusting that he signed a 5yr/$85m extension. That would mean he'd get kicked out of the top-20 paid WRs before the season even starts. He'd be 19th right now, with Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb extensions impending that would kick him to at best 21st. He'd barely be above what Hunter Renfrow got last year and a full $1m below what Christian Kirk got last year.
