Patriots GM Wolf weighing options on Stefon Diggs' future amidst $26.5M cap hit

Patriots GM Eliot Wolf confirmed the team is actively weighing options regarding veteran WR Stefon Diggs' future, declining to provide specific clarity. Diggs, 32, led the team with 85 receptions and 1,013 yards in his first season but carries a substantial $26.5 million cap hit, with $6 million more guaranteed on March 13. Releasing him would free up over $16 million in cap space. The team is also monitoring his legal situation, as he pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges, with a pretrial hearing set for April 1.
