The New England Patriots officially added veteran free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs on Friday, with multiple outlets reporting the deal at three years and $69 million, including $26 million guaranteed.

Diggs talked about Patriots coach Mike Vrabel being part of the impetus to sign with New England. He had met Vrabel during a Pro Bowl and was impressed. The wide receiver recited chapter and verse about Vrabel, and the importance of him being a former player.

The player who last hit that mark likes the move made by his former team. On his " Dudes on Dudes " podcast with former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, Edelman said he thinks the four-time Pro Bowler will bring a much-needed energy to the locker room.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs might have given a hint as to why he signed with the New England Patriots in an Instagram story.

Stefon Diggs is signing with the Patriots, giving Drake Maye a new top receiver while granting Diggs the chance to reclaim his fantasy dominance.

Diggs has been a playmaking receiver for the last decade, racking up 10,491 receiving yards for the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans. He was a Pro Bowler in each of his four seasons in Buffalo, and led the NFL with 127 receptions and 1,535 yards in 2020 when he earned First Team All Pro honors.

Julian Edelman joins Colin Cowherd to discuss Stefon Diggs landing with the New England Patriots, how he fits alongside Drake Maye, and what it means for the team’s future under Mike Vrabel.

Stefon Diggs has moved on, again. He's now a part of the New England Patriots. For one of the most talented wideouts in the league, Diggs has a hard time staying put, having played five years with the Minnesota Vikings, four in Buffalo, and 2024 was his lone season in Houston.
