Diggs will turn 33 soon and had a cap hit north of $26 million next season. The Patriots released him, and he remains unsigned. Diggs had a legal proceeding looming, but he was found not guilty of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery on Tuesday.
He is now focused on trying to find a new team and made a post on Instagram outlining his abilities and what he can bring to a team. "This is not an opinion-based sport, so here are the numbers," Diggs posted on Instagram with his highlights. "I played 52% of the snaps and finished with 85 catches for 1,045 yards coming off an ACL.
Where we going? " Diggs's post caught the attention of Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Gonzalez made it clear where he wants to see Diggs sign.
"To the Pats," Gonzalez commented in response to Diggs' question about where he was headed. Diggs was the Patriots' leading receiver last season, and could be willing to sign a short-term deal at this point in the offseason. Now that he has been found not guilty, more teams could be interested in him.
