The New England Patriots are releasing wide receiver Stefon Diggs due to his escalating salary cap charge from $10.5 million to $26.5 million in 2026, despite his solid 85-reception, 1,013-yard 2025 season.

The New England Patriots released Stefon Diggs after his off-field behavior became a distraction, forcing the team to find wide receiver replacements through trade, free agency, or the draft.
