Stefon Diggs will not be returning to the New England Patriots next season. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported via X on Wednesday, March 4, that the team informed Diggs, 32, that he will be released "after the start of the league year next week." "Stefon Diggs had an additional $6 million set to become fully guaranteed next week Friday," Pelissero wrote in a subsequent tweet. "The Patriots didn't want to drag him along and informed him today they're moving on, giving him a jump start. He'll be released next Wednesday.
