Do Patriots Need Stefon Diggs, Or Can They Live Without Him?

The New England Patriots are not cutting Stefon Diggs.

It’s already been reported on both a local and national level that, despite what some people believe, there will be no tangible fallout from his incident on Memorial Day. NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran reported that whatever punishment is handed out won’t be discernible by the public or media. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported that the relationship between the player and organization is already looking up.

We can’t fully close the book on this thing, though.

Diggs’ biggest crime in being caught on video flirting with women and in possession of an unknown pink substance doesn’t really have much to do with either of those two things, it has to do with the fact that a “leader” brought unnecessary attention to a team looking to establish a new culture.
