Overview
- Diggs is still a free agent with NFL training camps weeks away and ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler reporting that at least five teams have recently checked in on his availability.
- On the field he offers clear production: after returning from an ACL tear he posted 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 while playing roughly half of New England’s offensive snaps.
- Legal developments have reduced some barriers — a jury acquitted him in the criminal trial and the NFL closed its personal‑conduct review without discipline — but a separate civil lawsuit alleging drugging and sexual assault remains active in court.
- New England released Diggs in March to save about $16.8 million in cap space and has since reshaped its receiver room by adding A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, making a Patriots reunion unlikely.
- League timing and roster needs mean interested clubs are expected to pursue short, team‑friendly contracts with incentives, and outlets have speculated about fits such as the Chiefs, Ravens, Commanders, Packers and Raiders without any deal confirmed.
