Overview

  • Stefon Diggs has signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, including $26 million guaranteed.
  • Diggs, recovering from an ACL tear suffered in October 2024, is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation and expected to be ready for the 2025 season.
  • The Patriots have struggled with wide receiver production, lacking a 1,000-yard receiver since 2019, and see Diggs as a solution to this long-standing issue.
  • This signing is part of a broader roster rebuild under new head coach Mike Vrabel, aimed at supporting second-year quarterback Drake Maye with a top-tier receiving option.
  • Diggs brings a proven track record, including six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons before his injury, and is expected to provide leadership and experience to the Patriots' receiving corps.
