Patriots Sign Diggs with Incentivized Contract

The New England Patriots have signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract, with $26 million guaranteed, despite his recovery from a torn ACL. Diggs is optimistic about his recovery but acknowledges uncertainty about his readiness for the season. The contract is heavily incentivized, with significant bonuses tied to performance metrics and attendance, indicating high expectations for Diggs, who aims to rejuvenate his career after a mixed tenure with the Buffalo Bills and a brief stint with the Houston Texans. His move to the Patriots adds intrigue, especially given his history with the Bills, offering a potential 'revenge' narrative as he faces them twice a year. This deal also impacts the Patriots' draft strategies, potentially shifting their focus away from offensive needs. Diggs' arrival is part of a broader effort by New England to improve after consecutive seasons at the bottom of the AFC East.
