Patriots fans clearly view Tee Higgins as the best man their team can get.
Higgins, who’s scheduled to hit free agency this offseason, has been a speculated target for Eliot Wolf and company. It’s prompted New England fans to keep a close eye on the situation unfolding around the Cincinnati Bengals wideout — apparently including Higgins’ off-field ventures.
Higgins took to social media Saturday and announced his paid partnership with Gillette, posting a photo using Gillette Razors with a boilerplate caption. No big deal, right? Wrong. The Foxboro Faithful couldn’t help but link Higgins’ new sponsor to Gillette Stadium, the home of the Patriots.
@patriots_mania commented: “Man, if you like Gillette’s razors, you will love @gillettestadium.”
@lifeofdiego2 commented: “Gillette Stadium next year.”

You can find many of the same comments here and here.
The Patriots are expected to be “all in” on Higgins should he reach the open market in March. But recent comments from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow indicate Cincinnati might try hard to to letting the wideout walk.
