Pro Football Rumors
Recently found not guilty on assault and strangulation charges stemming from an alleged incident late last year, Stefon Diggs remains a free agent. A Friday development, however, figures to accelerate the Pro Bowl wide receiver’s market.
The NFL will not take action against Diggs under the personal conduct policy, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, due to “insufficient evidence.” This provides some clarity for the 32-year-old pass catcher, whom the Patriots released ahead of a salary guarantee in early March.
Despite leading the AFC champion Patriots in receiving last season, Diggs completed what looks like a second one-and-done stint with a team. After four successful seasons in Buffalo, Diggs ended up in Houston via trade. An ACL tear, after the Texans curiously removed three years from the WR’s Bills-built extension, led to a short stay in Texas. The Patriots signed Diggs in 2025, and he worked as an important veteran presence to help Drake Maye to MVP runner-up status. But the Pats ended up with Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown this offseason; they are not expected to circle back to Diggs.
More to come.
