"Despite putting together the best stat line by a receiver in New England since Julian Edelman in 2020, Diggs was cut due to an alleged contract disagreement, with GM Eliot Wolf proclaiming the door was still open for a potential return."
"Patriots fans have held onto that hope over the past few months, and that feeling only got stronger after he was found not guilty in his court case last week. Diggs remains unsigned after minicamp, with little news about teams being interested, and it looked like the Patriots weren't seriously considering his return either."
"That was the loudest message the team had sent yet about their feelings on Diggs, but the latest update about Williams' jersey switch suggests otherwise, which is exactly what fans would love to hear right about now. Kyle Williams' changes his mind on jersey switch, seemingly pointing to a Stefon Diggs return"
"Because Diggs was found not guilty and has seemingly put his biggest troubles behind him, it would make sense that the Patriots might have an increased interest in bringing him back for the 2026 season, since he had previously been under contract anyway. If they can get him back on a cheaper contract, since that was apparently their issue with his previous one, then Diggs' return shouldn't be ruled out."
Stefon Diggs is still without a contract after the Patriots released him before free agency due to an alleged contract disagreement. He produced the best receiving stat line for a Patriots wideout since Julian Edelman in 2020, yet was cut with GM Eliot Wolf saying a return remained possible. Patriots fans’ optimism increased after Diggs was found not guilty in his court case. After minicamp, Diggs remains unsigned and there is limited indication of other teams pursuing him, while the Patriots appeared hesitant to bring him back. Kyle Williams’ reported jersey change from No. 18 to No. 8 was later reversed, with Williams expected to keep No. 18 for 2026. The timing is viewed as a potential signal that Diggs could return on a cheaper deal aligned with the team’s prior contract concerns.
