He honestly screwed himself giving Higgins that full guaranteed contract. I can see this come up in next CBA negotiations, where 2nd rounders contract will be normalized like 1st rounders. I can understand Nick sees Higgins as a 1st rounder and has no problem with a fully guarantee contract, but I would like to see that 5th year option attached.
"compete for starting role" It's a done deal, man. Higgins opposite Nico is going to be special. Hard to double both and put 9-men in the box. Run-game and slot/TE's should get open field. We have guys that can beat the zone
