High Price For Hightower

It wasn't a big surprise to hear a report that the Pats will not be placing the franchise tag on Donta Hightower. It looks like they are willing to let him test free agency and find his value on the open market.

The Pats have many free agents and won't be able to keep all of them. Hightower was a very critical part of the defense, but everyone is replaceable on the Pats. Tom Brady might find that out someday.
