Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said Stefon Diggs "is working hard" at the start of the Patriots offseason workout program.

"(Diggs is) a motivated player," Vrabel said. "He's a hungry player." Diggs is coming off a torn ACL but appears to be on track to be a full-go at the start of the season. He signed a three-year deal with New England back at the end of March.

Stefon Diggs has signed a three-year, $69 million deal with the New England Patriots. The deal includes $26 million guaranteed.

At least at the moment, it looks like the Patriots have found their WR1. Diggs joins a wide-open receiving room that lacks top-end talent, and he should step in as Drake Maye's top option once he returns from injury. The Patriots could still add receiving talent in the draft, however, so they may not be done. Should he play all three years on this deal, he will be 34 the next time he is a free agent. It's likely one of, if not his last, major NFL deals. Still, it's a good sign for Digg's fantasy value in the short term.

Stefon Diggs is reportedly “ahead of schedule” in his recovery from a torn ACL.

Diggs remains a free agent as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL suffered last season. He had reportedly met with the Patriots last week. It remains unclear where else his market is at as of now.

WR Stefon Diggs (knee) visited the Patriots, per league sources, as he explores options after a likely exit from the Texans following their trade for Christian Kirk. The 31-year-old tore his ACL in late October 2024, likely undergoing surgery in November, which sets a roughly 10-month recovery window before Week 1 of 2025. New England pairs a thin WR corps with rising QB Drake Maye, offering Diggs a chance to step in if he’s ready—though his age and injury cloud the timeline.

Diggs’ prime WR1 days faded before the ACL tear, and at 31, a full rebound by Week 1 2025 is no lock—younger players typically fare better with that timeline. A Patriots landing with Maye could spark WR2 numbers if he beats the odds, given the weak depth chart. Still, his pre-injury dip and rehab risks make him a late-round redraft gamble—dynasty owners might hold, but temper expectations. His visit’s outcome will shape his outlook—stay tuned.

The Raiders reportedly could be in play for free agent WR Stefon Diggs.

The market has remained quiet on Diggs as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL. It seems like he may need to sign a prove-it deal coming off his injury.
