Raiders Urged to Pursue Stefon Diggs After Passing on Early WR Help

Overview

• CBS Sports writer Zachary Pereles recommended Las Vegas sign free agent Stefon Diggs to boost a receiver group short on experience.
• Diggs posted 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 with the Patriots and earned an 87.5 PFF grade that ranked among the top receivers.
• The fit draws on his two seasons with Kirk Cousins in Minnesota, which could give the new Raiders quarterback a ready-made, trusted target.
• General manager John Spytek said he likes the current group, pointing to Tre Tucker, Jalen Nailor, Jack Bech, and Dont’e Thornton Jr., and noting the team drafted Oregon wideout Malik Benson in the sixth round after skipping Day 2 receivers.
• No deal has been reported, and Diggs’ pending legal case from February, where he pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation charges, could slow interest as teams wait for clarity.
