Tee Higgins would be a game-changing addition for any team, especially the Patriots, given their need for a reliable No. 1 receiver to support Drake Maye’s development. His combination of size, athleticism, and proven production makes him one of the top wideouts available in free agency.
If New England decides to prioritize Higgins, their significant cap space gives them a strong advantage, but they’ll face stiff competition. The Packers’ interest is particularly noteworthy, as they aim to build a more dynamic receiving corps for Jordan Love.
Additionally, Higgins re-signing with the Bengals is still a possibility, especially given his chemistry with Joe Burrow and the team’s success.
The Patriots’ pitch to Higgins would need to emphasize not only financial incentives but also his role as the focal point of their offense and the opportunity to grow alongside Maye.
If they can secure Higgins, it would signal a major step toward revitalizing their offense and returning to contention.
