For months now, we have heard that the New England Patriots will be hotly pursuing Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in free agency.
After all, the Patriots are in desperate need of weapons, and Higgins is the top wide out hitting the open market.

Momentum is building toward Higgins remaining with the Bengals, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network feels that the star pass-catcher may just end up re-upping.
"I don't know if Tee Higgins is going to be free, but I wouldn't bet my life on it," Rapoport said on the Next Pats Podcast.
