Patriots Release WR Stefon Diggs, Saving $16.8M in Cap Space

The Patriots are releasing Stefon Diggs after one season, saving $16.8 million. Diggs led the team with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 but faced off-field legal issues, including felony strangulation charges. Despite his production and leadership, the team opted to move on. Diggs, 32, is now a free agent and is expected to draw interest from teams like the Broncos, Commanders, and Titans.
