Overview

  • Stefon Diggs, a 10-year NFL veteran, visited the New England Patriots on Wednesday, his first free agency meeting after recovering from ACL surgery.
  • The Patriots are assessing Diggs' post-surgery health to determine his readiness for the 2025 season, with no contract finalized yet.
  • If signed, Diggs would become New England's top receiver, addressing a critical need in their offense and supporting quarterback Drake Maye.
  • Diggs' free agency situation is drawing comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr.'s 2023 return, as both sought short-term deals after ACL injuries.
  • Despite his injury, Diggs remains a proven performer with six 1,000-yard seasons and a history of high productivity.
