Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs has signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, including $26 million guaranteed. This move reunites Diggs with the AFC East, where he previously played for the Buffalo Bills.
Diggs, 31, began his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded to the Bills in 2020. During his tenure in Buffalo, he led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards in 2020, earning First-team All-Pro honors. In 2024, Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans, where he played under a one-year, $22.5 million deal. His season was cut short after eight games due to a torn ACL, during which he recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards and four touchdowns.
Despite his injury, the Patriots are optimistic about Diggs’ recovery and expect him to be ready for the upcoming season. They anticipate that his experience and playmaking abilities will provide a significant boost to their offense, particularly in supporting second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
