Also which guards are you going to spend big money on? Trey smith ok pass blocker with an history of Blood clots? Tevon Jenkins who has missed more games than Tee Higgins in his career? James Daniels who just tore his Achilles? So again, Who are you spending big money on at guard position?
Defensively who are you spending that money on that would be equivalent to Tee? Chase young who's never had a 10 sack season? Milton Williams or Osa Odighizuwa(who I want on this team but at the expense of Tee? I'm not sure about tbat). Zac Baun? That would be a lot for a 29 year old 1 hit wonder though! Wouldn't?
I do find it interesting you're arguing against Trey Smith because of a medical condition that hasn't caused him to miss any games in the NFL (he has missed just 1 game in 4 years and it was from a pec injury)... while being in favor of Tee, who has had a hamstring injury for 6 straight years, and an ankle injury in 3 of the last 4 years. We could sign Smith someone like Drew Dalman at C, and still come out ahead money-wise over Tee.
On defense...
-Josh Sweat. Good against the run, good rushing the passer, sure tackler, hasn't missed more than a single game in a season in four years, would be a fine pairing with Hendrickson over the next 3 years.
-Justin Reid is set to be a FA, and he'd be a hell of an upgrade over Stone.
-Byron Murphy was very good last year and would keep us from needing to use a pick in the first two days on CB.
...and again, we could probably get 2 of those 3 for the same price as Tee.
