Highsmith is coming into his final year. He only has one year of pro bowl type production (14.5 sacks). So if you're the GM, what do you do with his contract?
- Sign him now to an extension for the going rate of $18-20M a season
- Let 2023 play out to see if he can repeat his 2022 production, then sign him (likely to cost more than option 1)
- Franchise tag him (about $20M+)
- Let him test the market and potentially walk (recoup a comp pick)
What's your move?
