"I wouldn't say the door's closed. I mean, again, we're gonna look through every way we possibly can to help improve the team. It's an interesting development, considering the reports that Wolf confirmed about trying to renegotiate Diggs' contract before his release, and because that effort failed, they felt it was the right move to move on."
"After putting together the first 1,000+ receiving yards season since Julian Edelman in 2019, Stefon Diggs looked like he was the perfect addition to the Patriots roster at a very needy position. He became close with Drake Maye and immediately took on a leadership role for the entire team, even providing them with their most-used mantra for the 2025 season."
Stefon Diggs had a successful first season with the Patriots, recording over 1,000 receiving yards and establishing a strong connection with quarterback Drake Maye while serving as a team leader. However, the Patriots released him after just one season of his three-year contract, citing contract restructuring issues and 2026 salary concerns. General Manager Eliot Wolf confirmed the team attempted to renegotiate Diggs' deal before the release. Despite the split, Wolf indicated the door remains open for a potential reunion. The Patriots are addressing their receiver needs through other means, including signing Romeo Doubs and exploring trades for players like AJ Brown, though bringing back Diggs remains a possibility.
