Nico Collins, a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, secured a lucrative deal after a highly productive season with quarterback CJ Stroud. Collins' impressive stats include 91 catches, 1,461 yards, and 9 touchdowns in 17 games.

Nico Collins turns one year of great production into a deal the Bengals presumably wouldn't offer Tee. He played 58.9% of possible snaps last year, a career high. Higgins' 24 was a career-low 52.7%. Collins was obviously much more productive per snap than Tee last year.…
