Stefon Diggs Expects to Stay Unless Patriots Withdraw Offer
Stefon Diggs, the talented wide receiver, recently concluded his first season with the New England Patriots. Despite falling short of a Super Bowl victory, Diggs is optimistic about continuing with the team. He signed a three-year contract and made a remarkable comeback after recovering from a torn ACL in 2024.
Stefon Diggs’s Impressive Season
During the regular season, Diggs achieved significant milestones. He recorded:
- 85 receptions
- 1,013 receiving yards
- 4 touchdown catches
This marked the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career and the first time a Patriots receiver reached this milestone since 2019.
Contract and Future Prospects
Diggs’s current contract carries a cap hit of $26.5 million. The Patriots could save $16.8 million if they decide to release him this offseason. However, Diggs remains hopeful about his future with the team. He expressed, “I anticipate being here, so I hope so. Love my guys.” He emphasized the strong bonds he formed with his teammates over the season.
Performance in the Super Bowl
In the Super Bowl, Diggs had a subdued performance, with only three catches for 37 yards. Despite this, his overall contributions throughout the season bolster his case for another year with New England.
Looking Ahead
The Patriots have time to finalize their plans regarding Diggs for the upcoming 2026 season. As the offseason progresses, both the team and Diggs will be closely monitoring potential developments.
