"Pay him $40,000,000" - Patriots fans make Tee Higgins demand after Bengals WR's breathtaking performance vs. Broncos

New England Patriots fans started lobbying for the team to land Tee Higgins in the offseason following another impressive performance from the veteran wide receiver. Higgins went off on the Denver Broncos, helping the Cincinnati Bengals secure the eighth win of the season to enter Week 18 of the season with real chances to advance to the playoffs.

After the game was over, plenty of Patriots fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) to make their feelings about Higgins abundantly clear. They want to see the player at Gillette Stadium next year.

"And some of yall don’t want Tee Higgins.. couldn’t be me LMFAO. Pay him $40ms idc," one fan said.

More fans joined this collective demand.

"@Patriots give Tee Higgins $1 billion minimum," one fan said.

"Cut the paycheck for Higgins now @Patriots," another fan said.

"The Patriots really need to offer Tee Higgins whatever the f**k he wants… #Patriots," another one said.

The general sentiment was no matter how much he asked for, the Patriots should give him whatever he wanted.

"Patriots PLEASE do whatever it takes to get tee Higgins this off-season," one fan said.

"Can't wait for the Patriots to throw a bag at Tee Higgins," another fan said.
