Boyd is highly paid for a #3 WR also, I would rather us draft Boyd's replacement in round 3 or 4 and then trade Boyd and his 10.3 million salary.
Tyler Boyd WR $8,450,000 $1,400,000 $250,000 - $200,000 - - ($1,400,000) $10,300,000

We would have 1.4 million in cap space, but save 8.9 million for 2023.

Boyd has been great, but he is just not worth his contract in 2023 in my humble opinion.

Not really highly paid when comparing to veterans.
Devonte Wyatt, last year's 28th pick, signed a 4-year, $12.86 mill deal.
That's an APY of just $3.2 mill.
Not too bad for someone who will get 75-100 targets a season as 3rd option in this offense.
By the time that player would be ready for a new contract, Higgins will probably be ending his next contract.
