Now that the court drama is in the rearview, Stefon Diggs is ready to embark on his next NFL journey.
The former New England Patriots wide receiver has been relatively quiet since being released by the team at the start of the new league year. He had been focused on the criminal charges against him, including felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery, stemming from an alleged incident with his private chef over a money dispute.
However, on Tuesday, a jury found the four-time Pro Bowler not guilty in a trial that only lasted two days. On Wednesday night, Diggs posted the impressive numbers he put up during the 2025 season, which was his first year back from the torn ACL injury he suffered in 2024.
"This is not an opinion-based sport, so here are the numbers," Diggs posted on Instagram. "I played 52% of the snaps and finished with 85 catches for 1,045 yards coming off an ACL. Where we going?"
Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf has said on multiple occasions that he isn't closing the door on the possibility of a reunion with Diggs. He did admit that the team's decision to release him in the first place was due to ability and financial reasons.
Diggs was set to count $26.5 million against the Patriots' salary cap in 2026, which would have been the second-highest hit on the roster. Since releasing Diggs, the team signed Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal in free agency, and they are expected to trade for Philadelphia Eagles three-time All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown on or after June 1.

"Yeah, I never like to rule anything out," Wolf said on a potential reunion with Diggs on Up & Adams. "There's always different scenarios that come up, whether you have an injury or a scheme shift, or whatever the case may be, so, don't wanna close the door on anything."
