Long-maligned group of Steelers complementary WRs step up with George Pickens out

Tee Higgins said if the Bengals won't pay him what he's worth then quote "send my ass to Pittsburgh I'll do a Patrick Queen"
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

I have a sneaky suspicion that Khan will go after Higgins in 2025

I would love that! I think Tomlin complimented Higgins by referring him to a “goon”
I would love to have Higgins but I think the bengals will franchise him again just to trade him to another team after that

He wouldn't say send my ass to Cleveland.
He knows LJ can't hit him with a football unless he's scrambling.
Of course he would say Steelers.
Wilson at $35 million cap hit + Higgins at $22 million cap hit = ALL of the Steelers current 2025 cap space.
They can move some stuff around and do some accounting magic....but it is going to be really interesting to see how Khan approaches the cap.
Higgins might be as low as an $18-19M/year guy over 4 years? Hes not as good as Godwin or McLaurin.
It will be similar that Aiyuk....The steelers were ready to offer that contract to Aiyuk in the training camp....
Tee Higgins is going to receive contract offers from WR starved teams like the Patriots* that are going to be way higher than that.
It's free agency. Tee Higgins is going to get paid a lot of money.
I agree, if he leaves it’ll be for 25 mill a year. If he remains in Cincy he might take a hair less, 22-24 mill.
That was without a big old QB contract on the books.
Not saying it is not possible. Just saying that paying your QB $45-30 million changes a great deal of things. And I think that is what they will be paying their QB next year.
He’s not worth that…I hope other teams are willing to pay that.
You could be right but the structure of each contract is always the key....I'm sure in August, the steelers knew that it was possible this scenario that the QB was going to keep was going to be more expensive but they still offered a big contract to Aiyuk....And most of the time, the first 2 years of a contract is always less expensive for the cap hit and I don't think the steelers are worried about 2027 or 2028 since Heyward and Watt want to win now
At least they have a possibility to win this year but I guess we will see!
All are true...except....EXCEPT...Wilson is very old and just had an injury that stuck around for a couple of months.
I suspect that the Steelers would be wise to FRONT LOAD his contract...that way they don't have to eat dead money if he falls off the age cliff.
But every time I think I have a handle on NFL contracts....someone does something weird and it all changes.
For Wilson,I hope the cap hit will be around the same each year if he stay but for other players,I would not problem if the cap hit is more back loaded if needed

The Steelers were paying Dionte Johnson that much money. Higgins is better than DJ in my opinion, and is a much better fit for this offense with his size, speed, and big play ability.
I would love to sign him for the $18 million that DJ played for, but I fear it's a pipe dream. We will see.
even if we had to add a few million to that number the cap keep goin up ...I would be comfortable at 21ish with that in mind ...but can you get him for that on the open market is another thing .... but we Got Queen for less than perceived market value and he did say he would pull a Queen soooo whatever that means exactly ...(flip within the division is the assumed point but maybe he means the full monty of it )
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

Yep. The cap going up yearly always makes these things possible. People freak out over giving out a high contract, then it looks like a bargain two years later when all the NFL positional contracts go up 40%.
I think he may want more than that, but that number is a pretty good number for the talent you are getting.
Tee Higgins will command closer to $30 million/year than $20 million.
Yeah...he's not worth anything near that. That's a hard pass. I'd save that money for Pickens later.
I didn't think Brandon Aiyuk was worth $30 million/year, but he still got that much.
The Pats seem like the kinda situation where they almost have to give Higgins a dump truck full of cash.

Maybe the Steelers will just draft the next great receiver.
True.
In reality, I couldn’t care less what anyone gets paid, it’s not my money and the Steelers consistently manage the cap perfectly fine so if they want to give Higgins $40M and Wilson $40M, I’m perfectly fine with it because they’ll make it work.

Maybe Roman Wilson will be the GOAT.
Imagine if he came back this week. Wilson throwing to Austin, Miller and Wilson. Smurfs II.
