Stefon Diggs Targets New Team as Free Agency Heats Up

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs entered free agency after the New England Patriots released him, citing a salary‑cap increase from $10.5 million to $26.5 million for the 2026 season. Diggs finished the 2025 campaign with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, his seventh 1,000‑yard season, and says there is no No. 2 wide‑receiver option better than him.

Five teams have shown interest, with the Washington Commanders emerging as the leading contender. Diggs’ availability is also a focal point for fantasy football analysts, who note his high upside as a WR2 or WR3 in a pass‑heavy offense. The free‑agent market and his statements are generating discussion across NFL media.
