"It is unclear what led to the charges, which include felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery. Diggs' lawyer, David Meier, said in an emailed statement that Diggs categorically denies these allegations. Meier said the allegations never occurred, describing them as unsubstantiated and uncorroborated. The timing and motivation for making the allegations is crystal clear: they are the direct result of an employee-employer financial dispute that was not resolved to the employee's satisfaction, Meier wrote."
"Off the field, though, his tenure with the Patriots got off to a rocky start when a video surfaced on social media in May showing Diggs passing what appeared to be a bag of pink crystals to women on a boat. It wasn't clear what the substance was, and an NFL spokesperson said the league would not comment. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said the team would handle that matter internally."
Stefon Diggs faces felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges related to an incident earlier this month. His lawyer David Meier says Diggs categorically denies the allegations, calling them unsubstantiated and attributing them to an unresolved employee-employer financial dispute. The New England Patriots issued a statement expressing support for Diggs. Diggs, 32, had six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons and four Pro Bowl selections from 2018–2023 and signed a three-year, $69 million deal with New England. He has been a key target for quarterback Drake Maye as the team clinched the AFC East. A social media video earlier showed Diggs passing what appeared to be pink crystals; the NFL declined to comment.
