Overview
- Diggs became a free agent when the New England Patriots released him in a March 11 cost-cutting move and he is still unsigned in mid‑July as camps approach.
- The NFL closed its personal‑conduct review after a legal matter was resolved in Diggs’s favor in early May, removing league discipline as a barrier to signing.
- New England has reshaped its receiver room by acquiring A.J. Brown and signing Romeo Doubs, and coach Mike Vrabel said the team is comfortable with its current depth so a Patriots reunion appears unlikely.
- Diggs publicly pushed his marketability in a July training video, arguing he is better than any team’s No. 2 receiver, while teams weigh his strong 2025 rebound, age (32) and an ACL tear in 2024 when sizing up short‑term offers.
- Cap math, roster priorities and an ongoing civil discovery are keeping interest measured now, though analysts and sources expect he is likely to sign before the regular season if a clear role or injury need emerges.
