Yardbarker on MSNFormer NFL Player Compares Stefon Diggs’ Role to New England Patriots LegendThe New England Patriots found their weapon. Following a two-day visit in Foxboro, dynamic wide receiver Stefon Diggs agreed to terms on a three-year contract worth up to $69 million, as the New England Patriots’ new top of the depth chart wide receiver and perhaps the focal point of a revamped offense around second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
The former All-Pro receiver still isn't happy with how things ended with the Buffalo Bills and is looking for revenge.
The New England Patriots sign receiver Stefon Diggs to a 3-year, $69 million deal, guaranteeing $23 million, a shot in the arm for their offense.
Diggs brings 10 years of NFL experience to the Patriots and gives Maye, the third pick in the 2024 draft, a receiving option that recorded six consecutive 1,000-plus yard seasons before that streak ended in 2024. Dating back to 2020, Diggs has 5,868 receiving yards, which ranks sixth in the NFL, and 40 touchdowns, which ranks seventh.
Although the Texans left the door open for Diggs’ return and he was well-liked in the locker room, his injury and age were actors against extending their business relationship, Instead, Diggs heads back to the AFC East one year after being acquired in a trade from the Buffalo Bills.
"I don’t expect Diggs to put up the kind of dominant seasons we saw from him in Buffalo, but he has a game that should age nicely," Jay Skurski writes in this week's Bills Mailbag.
