The Patriots signed Stefon Diggs, who is practicing without visible restrictions just 10 months after a torn ACL. Training camp projects five roster locks at wide receiver: Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams. Javon Baker and Efton Chism III are battling for roster spots behind the established group. The depth at receiver creates difficult roster decisions and reduces the need to pursue additional veteran targets. An analyst suggested Romeo Doubs could request a trade from Green Bay, but New England's current depth makes such a move unlikely or unnecessary in 2025.
From Brandon Aiyuk to Chris Godwin, the New England Patriots have done their due diligence on potentially available No. 1 wide receivers in recent years. The team's ability to sign Stefon Diggs and his being able to practice without having visible restrictions throughout training camp, just 10 months after a torn ACL, is a small miracle. With camp now rounding to a close, the Patriots are widely considered to have five roster locks at WR, with Diggs leading a group that will feature Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams. From there, 2024 fourth-rounder Javon Baker is battling for a roster spot along with fan-favorite Efton Chism III.
"Although he's only earning a base salary of $3.4 million this season, obliging a potential trade request would help Green Bay's brass out in several ways," Kay wrote. "Moving Doubs would not only free up a roster spot, but it would also help bring clarity to the team's pass-catching pecking order and potentially return even more draft capital than the Packers would receive via the NFL's compensatory pick formula for departing free agents."
