"Danny Parkins believes that Stefon Diggs and the Patriots are just taking a break, suggesting that Diggs will inevitably return to Foxboro. He states, 'The flirting of him and NE as soon as he left, I think he's gonna go back!... I think NE is gonna be in on the A.J. Brown sweepstakes in a post-June world and now Stefon Diggs is the fallback plan.'"
"Adding Romeo Doubs feels like a move to compensate for the loss of Diggs. Doubs had an impressive 2025 season for the Patriots and made a good impression on the organization and his teammates. It raises the question of whether he is a fallback plan for a failed AJ Brown trade."
"The Patriots face a risky situation by delaying signings for their receiving corps until they have certainty about Brown's future. If the deal for Brown becomes reality, there is a concern about his ability to join the team until mid-summer."
The Patriots are exploring options to upgrade their receiving corps for the 2026 season, particularly focusing on AJ Brown. A trade for Brown may not be finalized until after June 1, which affects the Eagles' financial situation. Meanwhile, there are speculations about Stefon Diggs potentially returning to the Patriots, especially after his release. The addition of Romeo Doubs is seen as a temporary solution, but the team risks waiting too long to solidify their roster without clarity on Brown's status.
