It's March 6 for the NFL. Let's get into it. The New England Patriots plan to release wide receivers to fond digs when the new league year begins. This move will free up 16.8 million dollars in salary cap space, though they will take a 9.7 million dollar dead money. Hit. Digs had a 26.5 million dollar cap hit next season, which the team wanted to avoid. Digs bounced back strong last year, with over 1,000 receiving yards, even after tearing his ACL the previous season. He led the Patriots and catches, and showed he can still produce at a high level, despite turning 32. Experts predict plenty of teams will pursue him in free agency, though he might have to accept the pay cut. One forecast has some landing with the Tennessee Titans as a solid number two receiver, alongside Calvin Ritley. Digs is a four-time pro-bowl player, but his postseason struggles in just four touchdowns last year, factored into the decision. His peak production came earlier, with the bills from 2020 to 2023.

Meanwhile, the Titans could use him to support young quarterback Cam Ward's growth under new coach Robert Salah. Digs still faces an off-field legal issue that needs resolution, but his on-field talent should keep interest high. This episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor. Some chase peace.
