Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on June 12 that the NFL closed its review of the case involving Diggs and his former chef and found insufficient evidence to support a personal‑conduct violation.
- Diggs was acquitted in the criminal case in May and his 2025 season — 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while helping New England reach the Super Bowl — has restored much of his on‑field value.
- League discussion now treats Diggs as a likely one‑year veteran target in the low $10 million range, with teams weighing short‑term production against cap space and roster fit.
- The Los Angeles Rams have been publicly named by analysts and a Rams legend as a leading suitor, but the club’s starters Puka Nacua and Davante Adams plus limited depth behind them make any signing a roster and usage decision.
- A return to New England looks unlikely after the Patriots added A.J. Brown and signaled they have their preferred receiving options, so Diggs’ final landing spot will hinge on which contender can clear cap room and offer a clear role.
