Stefon Diggs recently discussed the other receivers the Patriots pursued this offseason before signing him, so let's compare how they stack up against the guy New England ultimately got
Prior to signing wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract back in March, the New England Patriots explored adding several other pass catchers to pair with second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
At the time, the decision to bring Diggs aboard was deemed one of the NFL offseason's "riskiest moves" by Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox, as the 4x Pro Bowler was coming off an ACL tear suffered 8 games into the 2024 campaign and entering his age 32 season.
