Devonta Smith has simply outperformed Tee Higgins since he has been in the league. Higgins with his lower production shouldnt expect the same type of contract Smith got. Yes Higgins has been injured but you cant dismiss the loss of production. DJ Reader signed a lower contract because of injuries. We signed Trent Brown cheap because of injuries. Injuries are a factor in contracts. If Tee is healthy and produces big this coming year, he will get a larger contract. If he gets hurt again and doesnt have good production he will get smaller offers. That is the reality. You cant dismiss injuries and lower production because that does factor in to contracts. Right now Tee is not producing at the same level as Smith and many other WRs and he shouldnt expect to be paid like it.
All true. If I was Tee Higgins I would take a slightly lower deal than DeVonta Smith took and be happy if the Bengals offer him such.
