Let's say that they pay Tee Higgins ~$30 million per year while assuming that he's going to be available ~70% of the snaps like he has been so far.
That's about the same as paying a WR $42.857 million per year who you were assuming would be playing 100% of the snaps. So if his availability remains as it has been, the prorated value of his contract would be beyond the top paid WR in the league.
I'm a huge fan of Tee Higgins. It's not lost on me how good this team can be when the core is healthy. $30 million per year is too expensive. The opportunity cost would be signing one of the very best guards and a 2nd tier defender. Or signing one of the elite run stoppers and a second tier FA at IOL or elsewhere. At that price, tagging him and trading him would make more sense. It sucks, but the alternative is to try to win with some of the worst guards and no run defense. Those shiny receivers can only do so much if the rest of your team is falling apart.
