Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is seen as one of the top free agents available this offseason, but the New England Patriots reportedly do not plan to pursue him. According to Chad Graff of The Athletic, the Patriots are prioritizing building their offensive and defensive lines this offseason, and are not looking to go after Higgins.
Along with the Patriots' plans to build in the trenches, Graff noted that there is skepticism around the NFL if Higgins will get paid in the $30 million range he could be seeking, particularly with his recent injury history. Higgins has been limited to 12 games in each of the last two seasons due to injury. The Patriots do have the most cap space in the NFL and the flexibility to spend on a player like Higgins if he does become available, but it appears they would prefer to put that money toward their offensive and defensive lines.
