New England signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs on a three-year, $63.5 million contract, acknowledging the risk involved due to his ACL surgery recovery. There were limited options in the trade market and draft class for acquiring top receivers. Despite some concerns about Diggs' past with previous teams, early training camp days showed promising chemistry between him and quarterback Drake Maye. Diggs is also viewed as a strong leader, positively influencing younger players on the team, and his presence could strengthen the offensive dynamics for the Patriots.
"There were basically no other options. The trade market was barren. The draft class was weak at wide receiver. Simply put, it was a bad offseason to need a top-end wide receiver."
"He's probably the one who brings out that attitude in the room. We've got a lot of quiet right now in the room, but he's going to bring that dawg out."
