New England will release four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs when the new NFL league year starts next week, according to a league source. Diggs led the Patriots in receiving yards and catches during their Super Bowl run this past season.
New England will part ways with star wide receiver Stefon Diggs when the NFL’s new league year officially opens next week, according to a source familiar with the team’s plans who spoke to The Associated Press.
The source requested anonymity Wednesday since the Patriots have not made their decision public yet.
On social media, Diggs shared a farewell message to New England fans, expressing gratitude to the organization and writing: “We family forever.”
During his lone campaign with the Patriots, Diggs topped the roster with 85 catches for 1,013 receiving yards and four scores, contributing to New England’s journey to the Super Bowl, where they fell to the Seattle Seahawks.
The veteran receiver developed into quarterback Drake Maye’s primary offensive weapon, as Maye earned second place behind Matthew Stafford in AP NFL MVP voting.
At 32 years old, the Pro Bowl selection four times over will now look for his fifth NFL franchise and fourth different team in the past four seasons.
