And yes, some people said DJ Reader shouldn't expect much because of his lack of availability, but he still landed a 2 year, $22 mill deal ($11 mill APY).
Some people on here thought Reader should only get $8 mill APY or less because of it.
I would expect the Bengals used this reasoning in their offer, and it's why he decided to sign with the Lions instead.
My point is there will be teams who could/would put Higgins' availability aside because they know what he can offer when healthy.
As such, I think $25 mill APY is still on the table for him.
And on a per-game basis, he's as good or arguably better than Smith, who just got $75 mill with $51 mill guaranteed.
TEE's has played 4 seasons and Devonta 3.
TEE missed more games in his 4th season than any of the other seasons and maybe that happens to Devonta in his 4th.
