With the NFL turning its attention away from free agency and towards the upcoming draft, players that remain unsigned have seen limited movement recently. The New England Patriots have four of those at the moment, including linebacker Dont’a Hightower.
The team captain entered unrestricted free agency in mid-March but has not taken any visits or received any reported interest. It remains to be seen whether or not any of this changes after the draft, but according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe his free agency experience might not come to a quick end.
Hightower is reportedly “still figuring out what he wants to do” heading towards what would be his 11th season in the NFL.
