Through rain, snow, sleet and hail, linebacker Dont’a Hightower’s free agency tour has forged ahead.
Hightower visited the Jets during the weekend and reportedly was on his way to Pittsburgh last night to meet with the Steelers. Hightower also has received interest from the Titans and Dolphins, though it doesn’t appear that he visited Miami.
Hightower’s plan for free agency was to enjoy the process and maximize his value on the open market. At some point, he’ll choose his preferred offer and see if the Patriots will match. There has been mutual interest all along.
Hightower’s visit with the Jets occurred Sunday, his 27th birthday.
