Stefon Diggs remains a free agent as of July 12, 2026, just over two weeks before NFL training camps begin, ESPN reported. The 32-year-old wide receiver was released by the New England Patriots in March in a move that saved the team $26.5 million in salary-cap space. The Patriots later traded for A.J.
Brown and signed Romeo Doubs to rebuild their receiving group. Diggs recorded 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns during the 2025 regular season and added 14 receptions for 110 yards and one touchdown in four postseason games as New England reached the Super Bowl.
That performance marked Diggs' seventh 1,000-yard receiving season and followed a season-ending knee injury with the Houston Texans in 2024.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel the week of July 5, Diggs said no team's current No. 2 receiver is better than him. "My opinion, I can compete with anybody," Diggs said. "But take those [top wide receivers] as your 1s, right?
He added that he brought himself to this point and expects to land where he is supposed to be. The NFL closed its review of Diggs in June after finding insufficient evidence of a personal-conduct policy violation. Diggs had been found not guilty in May of assaulting his private chef in a pay dispute.
He had pleaded not guilty in February to a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge stemming from the same incident.
