Who Should I Start? Nick Westbrook-Ikhine or Jayden Higgins

Tuesday, March 11, 7:27 PM

Former Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins. The agreement is worth $6.5 million, with $3.2 million guaranteed. Westbrook-Ikhine is coming off his best season as a pro in 2024. Despite not snagging his first catch until after the Titans' bye in Week 5, he'd go on to set career-highs with 497 yards and an impressive nine TDs. However, he posted just one game with more than three receptions. It's an interesting move for Miami, who continues to load up the offensive side of the ball. The 27-year-old's path to touches is not a clear one, as he'll vie for targets with fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, as well as Jonnu Smith, who broke out last season, leading the team in receptions (88).

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Houston Texans second-round wide receiver Jayden Higgins has signed his four-year, $11.7 million rookie deal. The Texans chose the 22-year-old with the second pick of the second round (their first selection) in last month's draft -- the first of two wideouts taken, joining third-rounder Jaylin Noel. With the news that teammate Tank Dell (knee) will most likely miss the 2025 season due to a complex knee injury he suffered last December, Higgins should get an immediate opportunity to make an impact on the field. The Iowa state alum is a big-bodied receiver with burst, who should operate nicely across from incumbent starter Nico Collins. Fortunately for him, he needs only beat out Christian Kirk to operate as the team's second wideout, and Kirk typically runs from the slot, where Higgins doesn't project to line up.
