Patriots released WR Stefon Diggs.

04 March 2026

The move won’t be official until the start of the new league year next week, but Diggs has already taken to social media to say his goodbyes to New England. Now the age-32 wideout will be looking for a new team once again. He is coming off his second one-and-done stint of the past two seasons, with the first being in Houston. Diggs averaged a solid 2.1 yards per route run in 2025, even including his quiet postseason stretch. On the other hand, the Pats refused to play him in a full-time role, which undoubtedly kept his efficiency marks afloat. Diggs still has something left in the tank, but he is well past his prime and is also embroiled in legal trouble. He is currently facing felony strangulation and suffocation charges. NFL teams may choose to wait until that situation resolves before signing him in free agency, which starts next week.
