According to some on here the Chiefs could put anyone at WR?

If someone were so inclined, there's probably a mathematical way to figure things out.

We're going to lose some players because of Burrow's contract. Maybe Bates was one already. Maybe Boyd and Reader are others. Maybe Collins.

The Bengals kept Hendrickson.

Higgins averaged 65.3 yards per game receiving last year. Say we need Burrow to throw for 275 yards to win. Say Higgins can average 75 yards receiving per game.

Higgins salary cap number is around $2.5 million now. Say he wants $22 million a year. You go from paying 2.5 million to 22 million for 75 receiving yards per game.

I'm not saying it can't be done. Just analyzing it. And you're paying Burrow like $45 million more too. Burrows production may increase by say 10-20% or so, but he's near his ceiling in terms of yards and TD's.

There's a reason that teams with rookie contract QB's have a huge advantage. Having 2 top paid WR's seems unprecedented among teams that win SB's.
