Stefon Diggs remains unsigned weeks before NFL training camps open in August 2026, making him one of the few top wide receivers available this offseason [1, 2, 3]. The 32-year-old Diggs released a video on his YouTube channel recently, stating no current No. 2 wide receiver is better than him and arguing he ranks as the best at that role in the league [1, 2, 3]. "You can't name a No. 2 better than me," Diggs said, adding "Everybody got a 1. ... You can't name a No. 2 better than me. There's not a No. 2 on a team" [1].
Diggs acknowledged only about seven "real No. 1" wide receivers exist in the NFL, with all 32 teams presumably having a top receiver already [1, 2, 3]. He said he is willing to accept a reduced role and pay cut to fill a No. 2 receiver spot on a new team [1, 3].
In the 2025 NFL season, Diggs played for the New England Patriots. He recorded 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season, marking his seventh career 1,000-yard receiving season [2, 3]. In four postseason games, Diggs added 14 catches for 110 yards and one touchdown as the Patriots reached the Super Bowl [2].
In March 2026, the Patriots released Diggs in a financially motivated move [2, 3]. Earlier in the year, he faced felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a dispute with his private chef but was found not guilty in May 2026 [2, 3]. His attorney, Mitch Schuster, said, "We have taken these allegations seriously from Day One and that’s exactly why we were eager for the facts to come to light through the legal process" [3]. In July 2026, the NFL concluded its personal conduct review of Diggs and found insufficient evidence to suspend him [2, 3].
With training camps starting soon, Diggs remains on the market. He expressed confidence about his future, saying, "I brought myself here. Unfortunate at times, but I'm blessed. I'm going to be exactly where I'm supposed to be. ... I'll be fine, I know I'll be fine" [2].
