MAJBobby Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) He was slapped with the original round tender. Meaning if he leaves via offersheet it is a 5th round pick surrendered. https://expo.cleveland.com/sports/g66l-2019/03/d3100ccf9d7920/why-the-cleveland-browns-should-sign-rashard-higgins-longterm-film-room.html 6ft 2 190. Started to break out last year. Think he would have more value than a 5th round pick in this draft. Edited March 8, 2019 by MAJBobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’ve been saying Higgins should be looked at for sometime now. He’s Solid. Question is can he play ST? For 5th it’s definitely worth looking into. But watch, he will stay with Cleveland under 2nd year Mayfield and have his best season to date. He’s a solid slot player Id be comfortable with him Zay Jones Robert Foster Rashard Higgins Deebo Samuels (2nd round) Duke Williams TJ Hockenson (1st Round) Dwayne Allen Jason Croom Solid WR/TE group Gotta get those FA OL though. After round 2 go all Defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 He's pretty much the same player as Zay Jones, I don't see him as an upgrade imo but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufridr101 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I like the value with a 5th Robbie Anderson is tendered at a 2nd he can absolutely fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Would be a fine pickup but you gotta remember we have to make an offer that Cleveland isn’t interested in. Would probably be a decent overpay plus giving up a pick. Idk if he’s really worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cle23 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I wish we would have used the 2nd round tender. Higgins is a good WR. He was injured last year for a couple and Mayfield missed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 He’s worked well with Mayfield. I expect any reasonable offer sheet to get matched by the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie can be that guy. I like McKenzie but I think Higgins would be a slight upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I am of the belief that if the Bills get a stud WR that means everyone else gets pushed down a peg and this suddenly becomes a pretty solid group for Allen. That's why they made a play for Brown. The Bills might not be done trying to trade for a number one WR and Higgins isn't it. I also would expect the Bills to add a WR, or two in the draft.

Agreed that this group needs a legit difference maker AND a high upside guy added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no AB, but he's been around and would immensely help the WR room and Allen. And even with that known quantity excellent vet you need that day two of the draft “reliably good and could be great” type of prospect. We are trying to fix one of the worst WR groups in recent memory and it’s going to take a lot (Plus talent at TE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I'm going to start beating the drum for Chris Conley. He's got nice size and speed. He played well for KC but got lost in the shuffle behind Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) I think Higgins could be worth a 5th round tender. If he doesn't pan out, there is little dead money involved, he has been productive. He is a little on the light side but is quick and decisive. You know what your getting with him versus a 5th round RB from this draft. RB is a position that needs an influx of youthful talent on Bills roster and I feel McCoy and Ivory will be gone next year. Would still need an Ivory type power back but Higgins looks somewhat comparable to McCoy ( obviously not as productive career wise) and is younger.

DisplacedBillsFan Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 At the time, I was really hoping we'd draft Higgins, but I worked at Colorado State throughout his time there and watched him play every week so I had a little bias. I think he's coming into his own as a very good NFL WR and would love to have him on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With snaps in this league vs a 5th rounder that has as much chance as being cut than he does producing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
