The 11-year NFL veteran is joining his fourth team in four years in 2026. Two years ago, the Buffalo Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans, and last year, he signed with the New England Patriots in free agency.
One week before NFL free agency began, the Patriots informed Diggs that they would release him at the start of the new league year. He has been a free agent since March 11.

The veteran wideout faced strangulation and assault charges after an alleged physical altercation with his personal chef in December last year. Diggs was arraigned on Feb. 13, days after the Patriots’ loss in Super Bowl 60, and pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery.
A Massachusetts jury acquitted Diggs on all charges on May 5.
