Slayton has averaged 720 yards a season in his 6-year career with horrendous QBs.
He has 66 starts across 92 games played.

Slayton has been playing on just a $6 mill per year contract.
If anything, he'll be closer to 1/4th the price, but ~70% the receiver.

In reality, Slayton could be a 800-900 yard WR in Cincy.
Not Higgins's caliber, but Higgins is arguably the top WR, maybe top guy overall in FA.

I think in reality, we all want to have Higgins back.
But he's going to be pricy.
And they have traditionally been bad drafting OL and DL, having more success in FA.

So would you rather have Slayton plus an upgrade at OL or DL added in FA, or just Higgins?

Personally, I'm cool either way. I won't be one of the ones upset if Higgins departs.
