For the NFL, it's March 5th. Here's what's happening. The New England Patriots are moving on from wide receiver Stefan Diggs. They plan to release him next week once the league's new year starts. This move clears nearly $15 million in salary cap space, pushing their total to about $57 million. It also frees up $22 million, $500,000 in cash. They owed him this season. Diggs had a solid year, becoming the team's first receiver to top 1,000 yards since 2019. His departure leaves a big gap in their passing game, especially after they brought him in to boost the offense. Fans and analysts are already buzzing about the impact. The Patriots now have more room to build around their young quarterback, but replacing Diggs won't be easy in a competitive receiver market. Team officials are eyeing free agency, with players like Alec Pierce from the Colts possibly available soon. Trades could bring in stars such as AJ, Brown, or they might wait for the NFL draft later this off season.

Expect more moves as the off season heats up. The Patriots want to turn that cap space into real weapons on the field. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. Do not just fall asleep, drift into what you're listening to. S-O-L-L-I, solelypillow.com
