Stefon Diggs: Teams checking in
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, "at least five teams have been checking in on Stefon Diggs" ahead of the opening of NFL training camps.After putting up a 85-1,013-4 line on 102 targets in 17 regular-season games during his only campaign with the Patriots, Diggs was let go in March and has yet to catch on elsewhere. While Fowler's report doesn't suggest that anything is imminent, Diggs does eventually figure to catch on with a team looking to bolster its WR depth, and depending on his landing spot, the 32-year-old could yield decent fantasy utility relative to his current average draft position.

Stefon Diggs: Views himself as better than WR2s
Stefon Diggs said on his YouTube channel that "You can't name a No. 2 better than me" when referring to wide receivers across the NFL, ESPN.com reports.Diggs still views himself as one of the NFL's best wide receivers and believes he could earn a starting role on any team. The 32-year-old free agent exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in the 2025 regular season as the top option in the passing game for the Patriots, which marked the seventh time in the last eight campaigns that Diggs topped 1,000 yards. New England opted to cut Diggs rather than pay his $26.5 million salary cap hit in 2026, but he presumably wants to be paid like a starting wideout wherever he plays next.

Stefon Diggs: Open to playing for Commanders
Stefon Diggs recently told FOX 5 Washington DC that he anticipates signing with a team soon and has interest in playing for the Commanders.Diggs grew up in Gaithersburg, Md., played his college ball at the University of Maryland and still lives in the same area during the NFL offseason. The Commanders, meanwhile, have more than $40 million in cap space and lack experienced starters at wide receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. It's not hard to connect the dots, especially after Diggs told a Washington news program that a homecoming was one of the first things he thought about when the Patriots released him in March. The NFL recently closed its review of Diggs for an alleged December dispute with his private chef, and now that a suspension is off the table, it sounds like the Commanders have serious competition to sign the 32-year-old wideout. He was a highly efficient possession receiver in his lone season with New England, catching 85 of 102 targets (83.3 percent) for 1,013 yards in 17 regular-season games, albeit with just four TDs and a long gain of 34 yards.

Stefon Diggs: NFL closes personal conduct review
The NFL has closed its review of Stefon Diggs after determining that there was insufficient evidence of a personal conduct policy violation stemming from an alleged dispute with his private chef this past December, ESPN.com reports.Friday's decision arrives after Diggs was found not guilty last month of assaulting his private chef in a pay dispute, but at the time of the verdict NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy noted that the matter remained "under review of the personal conduct policy." Diggs, who was released by the Patriots in March, has yet to catch on elsewhere, but on the heels of a 2025 regular season in which he recorded an 85-1,013-4 line on 102 targets in 17 games, the 32-year-old is a candidate to garner interest in the coming weeks from teams still seeking to bolster their WR corps.

Stefon Diggs: Unlikely to re-sign with Patriots
Head coach Mike Vrabel suggested Wednesday that the Patriots aren't interested in re-signing Stefon Diggs at the moment, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. "Right now, I don't think that that's something that I think we're exploring," said Vrabel. "But I would never say no."This doesn't seem like a fit for either party after the Patriots added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason, but Vrabel at least wants to leave the door open in case Diggs can't find a better opportunity in free agency. The 32-year-old was found not guilty in May on charges related to an alleged dispute with his former private chef, though there is still some chance of the NFL disciplining Diggs for the alleged incident. For now, he remains unsigned, with rumors often connecting him to receiver-needy teams like the Chiefs, Ravens, Commanders and Falcons.

Stefon Diggs: Found not guilty
Stefon Diggs was found not guilty Tuesday on charges related to an alleged dispute last December with his former private chef, ESPN.com reports.The alleged incident led to charges of felony strangulation and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge, for which Diggs pleaded not guilty in February. The aforementioned trial lasted two days before a ruling occurred, but he now awaits potential league discipline under the personal conduct policy. The Patriots released Diggs on March 11 after a one-year stint with the team in which he put together an 85-1,013-4 line on 102 targets in 17 regular-season games, marking the seventh time in the past eight campaigns in which he surpassed 1,000 receiving yards.

Stefon Diggs: Released by Patriots
The Patriots officially released Stefon Diggs on Wednesday.On the heels of recording a 85-1,013-4 receiving line (on 102 targets) in 17 regular-season games during his lone campaign with the Patriots, the team -- as previously reported -- elected to part ways with Diggs for salary cap reasons. Since then, Romeo Doubs has been added by New England, while Diggs is now free to sign elsewhere. In the right spot, Diggs should have an opportunity to yield solid fantasy production in 2026, but it remains to be seen what the market will be for the 32-year-old wideout.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Set to be released
The New England Patriots informed Stefon Diggs on Wednesday that he will be released after the start of the new league year March 11, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Diggs rebounded well from an ACL tear that cut his 2024 campaign with Houston short, playing all 17 regular-season games for New England and totaling an 85-1,013-4 receiving line (102 targets) as the No. 1 receiver for Drake Maye in 2025. Per Pelissero, the transaction will allow the Patriots to avoid paying Diggs the $6 million option in his contract that would have become fully guaranteed next Friday, March 13. Now entering his age-33 season, Diggs will need to search for a new landing spot, while New England figures to prioritize searching for a new No. 1 wideout in free agency and/or April's draft. Diggs pleaded not guilty in mid-February to criminal charges stemming form an alleged dispute with his personal chef, which include include a charge of felony strangulation, and he has a pretrial hearing scheduled for April 1.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Held to three catches in Super Bowl
Stefon Diggs recorded three catches (on three targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's 29-13 loss to the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX.The New England Patriots couldn't sustain offense for the majority of the game and were playing with desperation by the time they were able to move the ball down the field late in the fourth quarter. That led to a very quiet game for Diggs, particularly considering that 26 of his 37 yards came on a reception with 2:58 remaining in the fourth quarter and with the Patriots down three scores. Though Diggs failed to surpass 40 receiving yards in any of New England's postseason games, he still managed 1,013 yards across 17 regular-season contests and remains a solid possession receiver. He is under contract with New England and very likely to be one of Drake Maye's top targets once again in 2026.
