Stefon Diggs arrived at the New England Patriots during the previous offseason. The team reportedly signed him to a three-year deal worth about $69 million. Even with that multi-year contract in place, the Patriots chose to release the veteran receiver after just one season. Before landing in New England, Diggs had already built a strong résumé around the league. He made a name for himself during productive runs with the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans.

When Diggs first joined the roster, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel openly praised his skill set. In a March 2025 interview, Vrabel pointed to the receiver’s “play-strength” on the field. He said Diggs plays with real strength, runs sharp routes, and competes “good at the catch point.” Vrabel also noted that he had proven effective in red-zone situations (via E! News).
