Stefon Diggs signs $69 million deal with Patriots

Stefon Diggs has signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, which includes $26 million guaranteed. The 31-year-old wide receiver, who struggled with injuries last season, had a limited performance with the Houston Texans, recording 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns before suffering a torn ACL. This signing marks Diggs' third team in three years, following his tenure with the Buffalo Bills and the Texans. The Patriots hope that Diggs can provide a strong receiving option for second-year quarterback Drake Maye, especially as he is reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery. The move comes amid concerns regarding the Patriots' offensive strategy and their ability to support Maye effectively. Diggs' addition is seen as a significant step in enhancing the team's offensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
