Teams need to see the production to give deals. Feel like this happens more in the NBA now, where teams give you a deal of what they expect you to become

NFL is pretty old school in you get the deal you deserve


That’s why i don’t get why ppl are calling for 25-30M for Tee

No team is offering that.


He’s gonna be around 18-21M per and for likely only 3 years

Michael Pittman just landed a 3-year, $70 mill deal ($23.33 mill APY) with about the exact same yardage production as Higgins for the past 4 years.

Pittman:
Games = 62
Targets = 487
Receptions = 336
Yards = 3662
TDs = 15

Higgins:
Games = 58
Targets = 403
Receptions = 257
Yards = 3684
TDs = 24

Higgins has been just as good, if not better, than Pittman.
If Pittman can get $23-24 mill APY from a team, Higgins should be realistically in the $25+ mill APY range.

If I'm Higgins' camp, this is the exact person I'm using as a comparison to argue getting $25+ mill from someone who is needing a WR1.
