With the month of February about to come to an end, things are about to get interesting with one of New England’s key free agents heading into tomorrow’s 4pm deadline where teams will have to decide whether or not to use their franchise or transition tag.
As free agency approaches, Dont’a Hightower is one of the key players on New England’s roster set to hit the market as he looks cash in after a strong start to his Patriots career. Despite injuries that have caused him to miss time over the past few seasons, the veteran linebacker has come up big when it’s mattered most, having made key plays against both Seattle and Atlanta during the team’s two recent championship runs.
