As we head into draft season I like to look at what teams are in the most and least need of snaps to replace from the last season. While the number of snaps can be skewed by returning injured players more often than not it does help give us an indication of which teams may be focused more on immediate help in the draft and better opportunities for undrafted free agents as well as teams that may be more interested in street free agents come summer time.

The Tee Higgins contract numbers are out on Pro Football Talk and this one is a pretty interesting discussion about whether or not Higgins should have taken the contract from a purely financial perspective. Higgins was already guaranteed to earn $26.179 million in 2025 and due to be tagged a second time was a lock to be a free agent in 2026.Higgins is still young having just turned 26 this January meaning he would be 27 as a first time free agent which is not a negative for free agency.
