It looks like Stefon Diggs’ run in New England is ending far sooner than many expected.
The Patriots have informed the 32-year-old wide receiver that he will be released once the new league year begins next week, closing the book on what was, statistically, a strong season on the field. Diggs surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in 2025, finishing with 85 catches and four touchdowns as New England surged back into championship contention.
NFL reporter Tom Pelissero revealed the news on X on Wednesday, March 4. “The Patriots informed four-time Pro Bowl WR Stefon Diggs they’re releasing him after the start of the league year next week, per sources,” he wrote.
But the decision arrives at a complicated moment for the athlete.
In February, Diggs appeared in court and entered a not guilty plea to assault-related charges connected to an alleged December incident involving his personal chef. According to a police report, the woman claimed an argument over compensation escalated physically. She later told authorities she felt as though she had difficulty breathing during the confrontation.

Diggs has maintained his innocence. Following the hearing, attorney Mitchell Schuster stated, “He is completely innocent of these false allegations that have been alleged against him. We’re confident that after the facts and evidence reviewed in this case, he will be completely exonerated.” A pretrial hearing is set for April 1.
While the legal process unfolds, his personal life has also taken a hit. During a recent tour stop, his ex-girlfriend Cardi B addressed their strained relationship from the stage, telling the audience, “Just because I ain’t f**king with my baby daddy doesn’t mean you get to talk about my baby daddy.” The two welcomed a son together last November.
