*Edit* - I would have been fully onboard with trading tee if they had tried harder (at all?) to backfill his spot with a more proven veteran, and was able to throw a dart in another direction.

In 2024, Brown will earn a base salary of $3,500,000, a signing bonus of $3,000,000 and a workout bonus of $250,000, while carrying a cap hit of $8,205,882 and a dead cap value of $6,500,000.

They still can add a veteran WR after they trade Higgins.
There are still some ok ones available.

Looking at the list, Michael Gallup, DJ Chark, and Hunter Renfrow stand out to me as a guy who could become 2nd option in the passing game as a stopgap and not have a giant drop-off in production.
We may have to accept not having a consistent 1000+ yarder though.
Could always bring back Boyd too on a 1-year or 2-year deal as a stopgap. He'd get back to around 800-900 yards if he got 100+ targets again, I think.
