Tedy Bruschi implores Patriots to make trade for this playmaking WR

Former New England Patriots linebacker and current ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi is lobbying for the organization to make a trade for a star receiver.

Bruschi wants to see Tee Higgins in New England.

Higgins is coming off a third NFL season that saw him record 74 catches for 1,029 yards and seven touchdowns. The yardage numbers were slightly down from a 2021 season which saw him record 1,091 yards and six touchdowns. Higgins helped form a dynamic duo with Ja’Marr Chase in Cincinnati, as the Bengals made it to the AFC Championship Game for the second year in a row.

Higgins had over four games with 100-plus receiving yards in 2022, as he was able to stretch the field for the Bengals.

Bruschi emphatically believes the Patriots should make a move for him, per CLNS Media’s Mike Kadlick.

Higgins would immediately provide an upgrade to a Patriots wide receiver room desperately searching for a No. 1 wideout. It could be a game-changer to see him work in a new Patriots offense led by Bill O’Brien.
