Patriots Expected to Release Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs

The New England Patriots are set to release Stefon Diggs when the new league year begins. Diggs, who led the team with 102 targets, 85 receptions, and 1,013 yards in 2025, provided veteran leadership and productive play during his lone season in New England. Despite his success, the team is moving on to create cap flexibility. Diggs remains a free agent and is expected to draw interest from multiple teams, including the Rams, as he seeks his next opportunity.
