Stefon Diggs: Unless Patriots opt out, I anticipate being here
Our Summary
Wide receiver Stefon Diggs plans to continue his career with the New England Patriots following his first season with the team, which concluded without a Super Bowl title. Diggs, who joined the Patriots on a three-year contract as a free agent, recovered from a 2024 ACL tear to achieve 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. This marked Diggs's seventh career 1,000-yard season and the Patriots' first since 2019. Despite the potential $16.8 million cap savings if the Patriots part ways with him, Diggs expressed his desire to remain with the team, citing strong bonds with his teammates. The Patriots have not yet announced their plans regarding Diggs's future as they evaluate their roster for the upcoming 2026 season.
