Stefon Diggs Faces Bills as Patriots Receiver After Comeback and Offseason Move

New England signed him to a three-year deal with limited guarantees following his 2024 ACL tear.

Overview

  • The veteran is set to face Buffalo on Sunday night in his first meeting with the Bills as a Patriot and his second since departing the team.
  • During his 2020–23 Buffalo tenure, he topped 100 receptions in three straight seasons and led the NFL in catches and receiving yards in 2020 to earn AP All‑Pro honors.
  • Buffalo traded Diggs to Houston in April 2024 for a 2025 second-round pick, and he tore his ACL after eight games with the Texans.
  • The Bills accepted what was described as the largest non‑QB dead‑money hit to move on from Diggs, signaling a definitive reset despite his production.
  • After reaching free agency, Diggs signed with New England in March 2025, returned for Week 1, and posted his first 100‑yard game as a Patriot in Week 4.
