Interesting way to look at the value of the contract. Even so. It doesn't seem "below average" it seems more at like at the average. But I'm kinda eyeballing it.

The contract is below MARKET, not below average. "Average" doesn't mean anything in this context.

2nd contracts go up a certain percentage every year. That's true of every position. For example when Cooks and Watkins both signed 2nd contracts, they were both getting around 16 M. That was just the number for receivers that year. It's significant if you don't get that amount. It says something about the player.

In 2019, the yearly amount Higbee got is out of date. It's from several years ago. That means he's getting less than a starting TE should get in 2019. He was paid below market. That's just a simple fact.
