Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has long been believed to be a target for the New England Patriots in the offseason. However, The Athletic’s Chad Graff pumped the brakes on that notion in a recent report that the team plans on focusing its resources elsewhere.

The Patriots are not expected to pursue Tee Higgins this offseason, according to a new report from The Athletic.

McMillan is considered the top wide receiver in the draft outside of Colorado’s Travis Hunter, who also doubles as the top cornerback prospect. The Arizona product caught 84 passes for 1,319 yards with eight touchdowns in 2024. He was even more productive as a sophomore in 2023 with 90 catches for 1,402 yards with 10 touchdowns.
