NFL Insider Comments On Stefon Diggs, A.J. Brown Both Joining Patriots

Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New England Patriots cut ties with Stefon Diggs this offseason, but he could still re-sign with the team as a free agent. Earlier this offseason, Eliot Wolf said he is not closing the door on Diggs, and after he was found not guilty of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery, he could make sense as a signing for the Patriots.

The team would seemingly only be interested in a cheaper, short-term deal. They have already signed Romeo Doubs and are expected to acquire A. J.

Brown after June 1. Assuming the Patriots land Brown as many insiders expect, he, Doubs and Diggs would be in contention to be the best trio in football with Drake Maye as the trigger man. However, NFL insider Albert Breer thinks it's more likely that Diggs signs elsewhere if the Patriots trade for Brown.

"Now, I believe the Patriots love Diggs, and Diggs would love to return," wrote Breer on Tuesday. "But any realistic talk about his return, to me, hinges on whether the Brown trade happens. Assuming Brown does become a Patriot, I think Diggs will probably be somewhere in that one-year, $10 million range.
