Patriots Sign Stefon Diggs to $69 Million Deal

The veteran wide receiver joins New England on a three-year contract as he recovers from an ACL injury, aiming to bolster their offense under new head coach Mike Vrabel.

Stefon Diggs has signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, including $26 million guaranteed, making it the richest wide receiver deal in franchise history.
Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowler, is recovering from an ACL injury sustained in October 2024 but is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation.
The Patriots aim to utilize Diggs' elite route-running and veteran leadership to strengthen their wide receiver group, which ranked among the NFL's worst in 2024.
This signing is part of New England's broader roster rebuild under new head coach Mike Vrabel, following consecutive losing seasons.
Diggs will be a key target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye, addressing the team's need for a top-tier wide receiver after missing out on other free agent options.
