Overview

  • Stefon Diggs, 31, met with the New England Patriots on Wednesday, marking his first visit since entering free agency.
  • The wide receiver is recovering from a torn ACL sustained during the 2024 season, raising questions about his readiness for the 2025 season.
  • If signed, Diggs would become the Patriots' leading receiver, addressing their need for a top pass-catcher to support quarterback Drake Maye.
  • Diggs had a productive 2024 season with the Houston Texans before his injury, recording 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games.
  • Analysts have compared Diggs' free agency situation to Odell Beckham Jr.'s post-ACL recovery, suggesting he may sign a short-term, high-value contract.
