He will get at least 26M AAV. Is Jalen hurts and Kyler Murray better than Mahomes and Allen? No, but they signed a contract after Mahomes & Allen and it was 4-5 years. It's just how it works.
It's not comparable. Mahomes signed his contract in 2020, Hurts signed his in 2023 so of course his contract would be different. Mike Evans just signed his contract 2 days ago. Tee Higgins would be signing in the same year as Evans. You cant say someone else is going to get paid more 4 years from now so Higgins needs to have his contract based on what the salary cap might be in 4 years. You have to deal with the current salary cap and where everyone fits right now. As of right now Higgins isnt as good as Evans and shouldnt be paid like Evans.
