Stefon Diggs Sends Bold Free Agency Pitch To All NFL Teams After Productive Season With Patriots
NFL free agency kicked off back in March, yet arguably one of the group’s best players still hasn’t found a team for the 2026 season. That player is Stefon Diggs, who’s set to turn 33 in November, yet is coming off his seventh 1,000-yard season in the past eight years.
The four-time Pro Bowler has been one of the NFL’s most productive, yet, for whatever reason, still hasn’t learned where he’ll be playing football for what will be his 12th season. It clearly isn’t because he’s pondering retirement.
Stefon Diggs Says He’s the NFL’s ‘Best No. 2 Receiver’
Diggs definitely isn’t thinking about retirement. He’s made that obvious. If anything, he’s reminding everyone just how great he can be.
While he’s seemingly given up claims of being a No. 1 go-to option on any team he joins, the one-time First-Team All-Pro receiver recently stated in his YouTube channel video that no one can “name a No. 2 better than me.”
“My opinion, I can compete with anybody,” Diggs said. “But take those [top wide receivers] as your 1s, right? You can’t name a No. 2 better than me.”
Yet, he also did seem to make a note about money while comparing himself to other No. 2 receivers around the league.

“There’s not a No. 2 on a team — let’s presumably give people the credit and just say, ‘OK, you want to take the No. 1 spot away,'” he said. “Name your No. 2 receiver right now, and tell me how much he makes, and then my last question is: Is he better than me?”
Maybe Diggs just hasn’t gotten the contract offers he’s looking for after signing a robust three-year, $63.5 million contract with the New England Patriots last offseason. Of course, that deal got ripped up after one season, which is why he’s now a free agent again.

Still, aside from when he tore his ACL with the Houston Texans after just eight games in 2024, Diggs has recorded a 1,000-yard season each year dating back to 2018. That type of production shouldn’t come cheaply.
It’s also the type of reliability that should have NFL teams pestering Diggs’ phone, wondering what it will take to add him to their receiver room.
Exactly why he hasn’t found a new team yet is anyone’s guess. There sure are a lot of teams that could use Diggs, such as the Kansas City Chiefs or Washington Commanders, both of whom could welcome him as their new No. 2 receiver.
While Diggs may not have a contract for the upcoming season quite yet, he likely won’t be without a job for much longer. Some NFL training camps kick off in late July, and teams will want their offenses to be ready to roll.
