Wide receiver Stefon Diggs' time in New England is coming to an end, according to a new report.
"The Patriots informed four-time Pro Bowl WR Stefon Diggs they’re releasing him after the start of the league year next week, per sources," NFL Media's Tom Pelissero shared on X Wednesday.
Splitting ways with the team's top receiver will save the Patriots more than $20 million against the salary cap, as well as $6 million in guaranteed money they were scheduled to pay Diggs next Friday.
Diggs, 32, signed with New England last spring after tearing his ACL midseason in 2024. He made an admirable recovery and led all of Drake Maye's pass catchers in receiving yards, with more than 1,000.
He was arraigned in Dedham District Court last month on a felony charge of strangulation and suffocation, which stems from an alleged incident involving a personal employee over the winter.
Diggs shared a farewell message on his personal Instagram account, writing, "THANK YOU for a hell of a year. We family forever."
