"Although they released him ahead of free agency just a few months ago, his market hasn't picked up, which has been shocking considering just how productive he was in his first season for New England, becoming the first receiver to reach 1,000+ receiving yards since Julian Edelman in 2020."
"On top of an apparent lack of interest across the league, GM Eliot Wolf has kept the door open for Diggs' return, and that has fueled the hopes of fans who want to see the receiving corps get to the next level, particularly with a trade for AJ Brown appearing to be nearly official."
"While speaking about Diggs on NBC Sports Boston's "Patriots Talk" podcast earlier this week, Phil Perry was hesitant to buy into the idea of the receiver's return to the team. He cited his recent social media posts as his reasoning, noting that Diggs told the league he was "open for business" and, because of that, on top of the potential trade for Brown, he doesn't believe the Patriots will re-sign him any time soon."
""If they miss out on A.J Brown, I guess that's a different topic, or it just gives it a new wrinkle that I'm not really considering right now. With A.J. Brown anticipated to be in the fold, I don't see Stefon Diggs coming back. I don't really think this court case had anything to do with the Patriots releasing him.I think that the move to part ways with him was more about money owed and age and a willingness and a des""
Stefon Diggs is still unsigned for the 2026 season after the Patriots released him ahead of free agency. His market has not developed despite a productive first season in New England, including 1,000+ receiving yards, a first for the team since 2020. The Patriots have kept the possibility of his return open, which has encouraged fans, especially with a potential AJ Brown trade nearing completion. Analysts are not convinced Diggs should return or that he wants to be in Foxboro. Phil Perry points to Diggs’ recent social media activity, including statements that he is “open for business,” and suggests the Patriots likely will not re-sign him soon, particularly if AJ Brown joins the roster.
