However, it\u2019s more than likely the Cincinnati Bengals are planning to place the franchise tag on Higgins if they can\u2019t agree on a long-term contract before March 4. New England may have to settle for past their prime receivers for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco 49ers\u2019 Deebo Samuel could fit in with the Patriots next season since the 2021 Pro Bowler requested a trade from the NFC West contender.<\/p>\n<p>While the 49ers are on \u201cgood terms\u201d with Samuel, general manager John Lynch said the club will honor his trade request, per Pro Football Talk\u2019s Myles Simmons.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou know, still not interested,\u201d Lynch said when asked about Samuel, per Simmons. \u201cBut along those lines of the financial constraints, and some conversations we\u2019ve had with Deebo \u2014 it\u2019s something that we\u2019ve been forthright with that. We\u2019re on good terms with Deebo. He\u2019s asked for a fresh start, and I think we\u2019re going to honor that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 49ers may be on board; however, Lynch doesn\u2019t seem overly enthusiastic about letting Samuel go.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDon\u2019t like seeing great players \u2014 and he is a great player, I think often one of my favorite draft picks in my time. He makes plays. He makes game-changing plays. Everything\u2019s good. But at some point, time happens and he asked for that, we don\u2019t always \u2014 there\u2019s contracts and things. But it probably makes sense, so we\u2019re at least allowing him to look. And we\u2019re having conversations, we\u2019ll see how it goes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lynch added:<\/strong><em>\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of love there. There\u2019s a lot of respect there. There\u2019s a lot of shared experiences. So, to let that go, that\u2019s difficult. But like I said, time happens, and if it makes sense for both sides, you at least give it a chance. And so that\u2019s where (we\u2019re) at.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Samuel is playing on a short-term deal with one year and $17.5 million left on his three-year extension, and he is a playmaker unlike anyone New England currently has.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots need to surround Drake Maye with offensive weapons.
