Overview
- The Patriots released Stefon Diggs in March to avoid a large base-salary spike and created immediate cap space while taking some dead-money charge.
- Diggs produced 85 catches for 1,013 yards in 2025 and was acquitted of assault charges in early May, but he remains an unsigned free agent.
- On Wednesday, June 10, coach Mike Vrabel said New England is not actively exploring a Diggs reunion while also saying he would not rule the move out entirely.
- New England has reshaped its receiver room by trading for A.J. Brown and signing Romeo Doubs, leaving a crowded, expensive depth chart that would force roster or contract changes to re-add Diggs.
- Diggs continues to draw informal interest and social-media speculation about fits such as Buffalo or Washington, though any signing may be slowed by cap mechanics and the NFL's ongoing review of his legal case.
