    • Highsmith is on a one‑year, roughly $3 million contract that the report says becomes fully guaranteed on Jan. 10, 2027.
    • The team previously waived and then re‑signed him in August to create financial flexibility.
    • If he sticks, he becomes eligible for trade on Dec. 15 under standard rules noted in the report.
    • Report projects Highsmith behind Miles Bridges and Rasheer Fleming on the depth chart.
    • He’s expected to provide spacing and veteran playoff experience in limited minutes if healthy.
    • The story notes his guarantee date and non-guaranteed nature mean he must perform in camp/preseason to lock a longer-term role.
