Funny how people line up to defend a pretty mediocre TE.
I don't take issue with how much money he's getting, rather the fact he was extended other than released like other cap hits before the season. I think he would have been replaced just fine by the rookie behind him like so many others.
I've seen Higbee make plays. I've seen him blow just as many. He's a very replaceable person on this unit, and I feel his spot on the team is more a matter of convenience than anything. He's a well liked team captain that doesn't do anything to get himself knocked off the squad. He also isn't consistent enough to actually elevate it. Unfortunately, that'll be enough to get him back on the team next season.
