It's a fair point, but also consider that, no disrespect to Tee, Kupp has been a lot more productive than Higgins.
Either way, we're looking at shelling out big money for Tee or another WR2 or basically being "WR or bust" in the 1st next year, neither of which is a great option. Trading for Kupp also gives us the advantage of not having to escrow the vast bulk of the guaranteed money for a player of his caliber. And, you've got the rest of the year of one of the most frightening WR trios ever assembled.
Aggressive? Certainly. All in? Definitely. But are we that concerned about a cap crunch next year if we win a Lombardi this year?
