There have been plenty of examples of very successful #2s who sign large contracts to be a #1 and end up failing. 
 

Giving Higgins 25-30 AAV imo is a bad decision. He’s had Chase across from him the last couple and he’s always had Burrow throwing him the football. That’s a deadly duo to help take pressure off of you. What happens when he signs with a team that doesn’t have that advantage. He’s prob not even on the Bills board due to cost 

 

His numbers without Chase are very good though. He had 908 yards and 6 touchdowns as a rook without Chase (despite Burrow missing the final 6 games) and then the four games Chase missed (think it was 2022) he put up 371 yards in those games. 

 

I wouldn't do it as the Bills because I am not sure he is the exact fit for what we need, though he is a huge upgrade on what we have. But if I was New England and he hit the market? Or Washington? Or the Chargers? 100% I'd make that deal.

Tee Higgins - 4 out of 5 seasons with 900+ yards, though he missed 5 games each of the last 2 years.

 

Peerless Price - 2 out of 4 seasons with 800+ yards, though he did have that one 1,200 yard season.

 

But to put things in perspective, Price only had 5,281 receiving yards in his 9 year career. Higgins is already at 4,595 yards in his 5 year career. I know people might think his numbers are good because he plays opposite of Chase, but he had 900+ yards his rookie year prior to Chase's arrival.

 

Imagine if the Vikings somehow drafted Jefferson while keeping Diggs (yes, I know they used the extra pick in the Diggs trade but just hypothetically). Jefferson still would've blown up & become the WR1, but Diggs still would've been capable of being a WR1 on another team. I think this is more along those lines. Higgins isn't AS good as Chase, but he still has the talent & skillset to become a true WR1 on another team.
