Patriots' Diggs Reunion: Low-Risk Upgrade

0:00It's April 6th, NFL News Today starts now, AI-powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. The New England Patriots cut Stefan Diggs this offseason after they couldn't agree on a new contract. Now, with him still sitting unsigned, bringing him back on a cheaper deal could be a smart move. They just added Romeo doves to the mix, but they're still hunting for more firepower at wide receiver and guys like AJ. Brown might cost too much in a trade. Diggs fits right in because he already knows the offense cold and has a solid connection with young quarterback Drake May. Last season, he stepped up as a leader and topped 1,000 receiving yards, helping push the team toward the Super Bowl. Money was the only real snag before. Fans and insiders see the appeal on both sides. Diggs might realize his market isn't as hot as hoped, so why not return to a familiar spot even on a pay cut? For the pads, doves has potential but hasn't been a top option yet and pairing him with Diggs could really open things up for May.

1:02Elliott Wolf, the team's exec, left the door open in a recent chat, saying they're always looking to get better and wishing Diggs well wherever he lands, even if it's back home. He admitted finances and fit both factored into the release, but Diggs' skills are still top notch. If Diggs takes a discount now, he slides right back in without carrying the full load, making this reunion a low risk of grade that keeps the pads. Competitive heading into the fall.
