Stefon Diggs claims he is NFL’s best No. 2 receiver while seeking new team

Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, 32, was released by the New England Patriots in March and entered free agency ahead of the 2026 training‑camp season. In a recent YouTube video he asserted that he is the best No. 2 receiver in the league, saying, “My opinion, I can compete with anybody…You can’t name a No. 2 better than me,” and challenged teams to name a better No. 2 and compare salaries.

Diggs finished the 2025 season with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, marking his seventh 1,000‑yard campaign in eight years. He was acquitted in May 2026 of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a dispute with his personal chef, and the NFL closed its conduct‑policy investigation.

No team has signed him yet, though potential suitors mentioned in media reports include the Los Angeles Chargers, New York Giants, Washington Commanders, Kansas City Chiefs and a possible return to the Buffalo Bills. Other players, such as Commanders edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson, have voiced support, while analysts have contrasted his claim with performances from younger receivers like Dallas Cowboys’ George Pickens.
