Patriots Release Diggs, Pursue Pierce & Stars

0:00It's March 4th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. The New England Patriots are shaking up their roster this offseason by releasing wide receivers to Fawn Diggs. This cap-saving move frees up $16.8 million in space. Diggs led their receivers in 2025, but couldn't reach a new deal with the team. Now the focus shifts to supporting young quarterback Drake May, with better targets. Reports quickly linked the Patriots to Indianapolis Colt's receiver, Alec Pierce, as a potential addition. Insiders say the front-office feels the pressure to rebuild the passing game fast. Fans worry about the offense without Diggs, but the team seems committed to spending big. Alec Pierce stands out as a top free agent option, especially after the Colt's tagged another player. New England has also eyeed trade talks for stars like AJ Brown and DJ Moore. Diggs confirmed the news himself on social media. The Patriots have plenty of work ahead to gear up for 2026. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor.
