The Patriots are not expected to pursue Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins this offseason, according to Chad Graff of The Athletic.
“New England’s blueprint for the offseason does not include pursuing Higgins, the No. 1 free agent-to-be on our top-150 big board,” Graff wrote.
According to The Athletic, the Patriots are prioritizing improvements on the offensive and defensive lines over wide receiver. New England’s biggest free-agent signings are expected to be at those positions, Graff wrote.
There are also questions about whether Higgins would be worth a potential $30 million per year price tag.
