Patriots fans clearly view Tee Higgins as the best man the 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 Patriots fans to keep a close eye on the situation involving the Cincinnati Bengals wideout — apparently including Higgins’ off-field ventures.
Higgins took 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.”
@azamat_bagitov commented: “Partnership with Gillette?? Welcome to New England!”
You can find much of the same here and here.
The Patriots are expected to be “all in” on Higgins, but recent comments from Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow indicate Cincinnati might not be open to letting the wideout walk.
