Overview
- This week Diggs posted a training-video message saying he believes no No. 2 receiver in the league is better than him and that he is willing to take a secondary role to get back on a roster.
- Diggs remains unsigned after the Patriots released him in March for financial reasons despite his 2025 line of 85 catches for 1,013 yards and his role in New England’s run to Super Bowl LX.
- He is 32 and coming off an October 2024 ACL tear, but advanced metrics and recent production show he can still be a high-impact pass-catcher.
- A jury found Diggs not guilty in May on criminal charges and the NFL closed its personal-conduct review without discipline, but a separate civil discovery process is still active.
- Teams weighing cap space, roster fit and timing before camps start view him as signable on a shorter, cheaper deal; several outlets expect he will join a roster before the regular season begins.
