Overview
- Team discussions center on three paths for Diggs — a reworked deal, retaining him as is, or moving on — with the situation described as unresolved.
- One reported option would convert pay into incentives to lower his 2026 cap figure if he remains with the team.
- A separate source predicts Diggs will resist a pay cut after leading New England with 102 targets, 85 receptions and roughly 1,013 yards in 2025.
- Contract pressure points include a reported $26 million cap charge this year and an additional $6 million that guarantees if he is on the roster March 13.
- Additional reporting notes split internal evaluations about his trajectory and keeps a departure on the table, while talk linking A.J. Brown highlights the challenge of finding a comparable replacement.
