Overview

  • Diggs was the Patriots’ top free-agent addition on a three-year, $63.5 million contract aimed at boosting Drake Maye’s receiving corps.
  • A video from a Memorial Day boat outing showing Diggs handing a pink substance to women fueled speculation over his standing with the club.
  • Coach Mike Vrabel emphasized that the matter would be handled internally and underscored the importance of players’ decision-making on and off the field.
  • Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels voiced no concerns about Diggs’ attendance or grasp of the playbook after his first OTAs session on June 2.
  • The Patriots confirmed they have no plans to release Diggs as he continues rehabbing the torn ACL he suffered in October 2024.
