"70 Million Dollars? Keep It!" - Fan-Favorite WR Stefon Diggs Stuns by Rejecting Big Contract Offer from AFC East Rival Ahead of Rumored Reunion with Patriots

Foxborough, Massachusetts – New England Patriots are considering re-signing Stefon Diggs for the 2026-27 season, according to a statement from Eliot Wolf, the team's executive vice president of player personnel. This is a noteworthy move after the team was unable to reach an agreement with Philadelphia Eagles in the A.J. Brown trade talks. Diggs, 32, had an impressive 2025-26 season with 85 receptions, 1,013 yards, and 4 touchdowns. While his performance dipped during the playoffs due to a weak defense, he remained an important figure in the locker room and a leader in the pre-game huddles. Patriots officially released Diggs at the start of the NFL's new league year due to financial concerns, but the current situation shows that his return is quite possible. Eliot Wolf shared: “We are always looking for ways to improve the team, so we can’t say anything is final at any position on the roster, and we wish Stefon Diggs the best.” Meanwhile, Patriots continue to pursue A.J. Brown, but the unreasonable demands from the Eagles have complicated the trade. Although Patriots signed Romeo Doubs to a long-term contract, they still consider Diggs as a viable option if the Brown deal falls through. Throughout his career with Patriots, Diggs has earned the love of fans for his leadership and dedication. He not only stood out with his receiving ability but also kept the team’s spirit alive. “Playing for the Patriots was a miracle in my life. The team gave me a career, a reputation that thousands of players dream of.” After failing to reunite with the Eagles, Patriots have shown renewed interest in Diggs. His deep connection with the fans and the respect he commands remain strong, and a return would be a wise step for the team’s future. Patriots will continue pursuing other deals, but with a lack of depth at wide receiver, re-signing Diggs becomes a logical choice. Stefon Diggs remains a reliable player who can make a difference for the team in the upcoming season.
