High Price For Hightower

During the 2015 season, fans heard that the Pats would never be able to keep Chandler Jones, Jamie Collins and Dont'a Hightower.

Jones was traded prior to the 2016 season and Collins in the middle. Hightower is the last one standing from that great group of draft picks.

Collins landed a big money contract with the Browns. What does the future look like for Hightower? The Pats could give him the franchise tag, but they have so many other free agents to sign or let go.

Fans have heard how critical Hightower is to the Pats defense. They also know that Coach Belichick has no problems in cutting ties with any player, especially if they have a big impact on the salary cap.

I have no idea how this will end.
