Stefon Diggs Visiting With Patriots
7 hours agoFree-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee), a 10-year veteran and former All-Pro with six 1,000-yard seasons in his career, is visiting with the New England Patriots, a league source told The Athletic's Chad Graff. The two sides haven't agreed to a contract, but a deal could come soon if the visit goes well for both sides. The 31-year-old former fifth-round pick (146th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015 out of the University of Maryland played in eight games for the Houston Texans last year and caught 47 of his 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns before suffering a season-ending ACL tear eight games into the season. As things currently stand, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas and Ja'Lynn Polk are the Pats' top receivers, so adding Diggs makes tons of sense. Diggs would likely serve as QB Drake Maye's top target, although there's no guarantee he'll be ready for Week 1 of the regular season after tearing his ACL in late October.
