Tee Higgins and the Patriots: The Patriots‘ need at wide receiver — among many other positions — is one of the team’s major focuses as what looks to be a pivotal offseason ramps up.
On that topic, Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been identified for months as the highest-profile potential free agent target for New England. Adding the talented 26-year-old would help open up the offense for quarterback Drake Maye.
Unfortunately for the Patriots, those plans took a major hit when the Bengals placed the franchise tag on Higgins on Monday.
