Eagles Continue to Reject Patriots in A.J. Brown Trade with Unreasonable Demands – New England Likely to Reunite with Stefon Diggs Soon, According to Adam Schefter

Foxborough, Massachusetts – Stefon Diggs, fan-favorite wide receiver of the New England Patriots, shocked many by rejecting a $70 million contract offer from Buffalo Bills, a rival of the Patriots in the AFC East. This rejection is particularly surprising given that Bills are looking to strengthen their roster. Diggs, 32, had an impressive 2025-26 season with 85 receptions, 1,013 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Although his performance dropped in the playoffs due to weak defense, he remained an important figure in the locker room and a leader in pre-game huddles. After being released by Patriots at the start of the NFL’s new league year due to financial concerns, Diggs received interest from multiple teams. However, the surprise came when he turned down all offers, knowing that a potential reunion with the Patriots was on the horizon after positive signals from Eliot Wolf, the team’s executive vice president of player personnel. Diggs shared in a recent statement: “I could choose the easiest, safest route. But when thinking about the future at this stage, I always feel like my heart belongs to New England. The team gave me the chance to grow and contribute, and if the opportunity arises to return, I will cherish it.” The decision to reject a massive contract from Bills stunned many, but Diggs chose Patriots, where he had some of the best memories of his career, even after just one year with the team. This reunion is something Patriots fans have been hoping for, especially with the team’s lack of depth at wide receiver. Given the shortage at wide receiver, re-signing Diggs is a logical choice for the Patriots in the upcoming season. Stefon Diggs remains a reliable player, and his abilities could help the team return to the top of the AFC East. Patriots will continue to pursue other deals, but Diggs’ return will be a key step in strengthening the roster and continuing the competition in AFC East in the upcoming season.
