The New England Patriots are intent on surrounding QB Drake Maye with talent this offseason. They had their eyes on Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins before he was franchise tagged and will now pivot in a new direction to upgrade the wide receiver position.
The Patriots are expected to be aggressive in their pursuit of an elite playmaker, bidding at the top of the free agency market and scouring the land for a blockbuster trade. One report indicates that New England has expressed interest in trading for an All-Pro pass-catcher previously unknown to be on the block.
