If Patriots miss on Tee Higgins, this 1,000-yard WR could be an option

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is viewed as a top-tier free agent wideout and an explosive weapon.

The New England Patriots would obviously benefit from having him on their roster. However, NBC Sports Boston’s Phil A. Perry believes Calvin Ridley could be a more realistic option.

Ridley is coming off a successful 2023 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, recording 76 catches for 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns. It marked the second 1,000-yard season of his career.

The Patriots could use Ridley, as they continue to search for a top option at the wide receiver position.
