Patriots Evaluate Stefon Diggs as Potential Top Receiver in Free Agency

The veteran wide receiver visited Foxborough as New England assesses his fit and recovery from a torn ACL.

Stefon Diggs, a 10-year NFL veteran and former All-Pro, visited the New England Patriots as a free agent on Wednesday.
Diggs, who suffered a torn ACL in October 2024, is recovering and could potentially be ready early in the 2025 season.
The Patriots are exploring Diggs as a solution to their long-standing need for a top-tier wide receiver to support young quarterback Drake Maye.
Diggs' career includes six 1,000-yard seasons and leading the league in receptions in 2020, though his departure from the Buffalo Bills was marked by public disputes.
New England has struggled to secure elite receivers in recent years, missing out on players like Chris Godwin, Tee Higgins, and DK Metcalf.
