Overview
- Diggs, who faced accusations tied to a Dec. 2, 2025 dispute with his live‑in chef, was found not guilty Tuesday after about 90 minutes of jury deliberation in Dedham, Massachusetts.
- The NFL said the matter remains under its Personal Conduct Policy, which can still lead to discipline because the league does not require proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Released by the Patriots in March, the four‑time Pro Bowler is free to sign, and his lawyer predicted an imminent deal after calling the case an example of “opportunistic targeting.”
- Jurors heard defense witnesses and saw videos indicating the accuser showed no visible injuries, the judge scolded her for evasive answers, and prosecutors urged jurors to weigh her account despite inconsistencies.
- Reporting points to a tighter market given his age 32 season and cap constraints after the draft, with analysts expecting short‑term, incentive‑heavy interest even after a 2025 line of 85 catches for 1,013 yards and a run to Super Bowl LX.
