Diggs’ presence in New England this season marks a return to the division after two years with the Texans. He signed a three-year, $63.5 million contract in 2025, a deal that has begun to pay dividends as he contributed 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season, plus 11 catches for 73 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs. His steady production has helped Maye’s early impact as a Patriots quarterback.
At 32, Diggs isn’t planning to slow down. He told reporters he plans to “ride until the wheels fall off,” emphasizing his long-term commitment to football and to the Patriots. The veteran wideout remains motivated to be a centerpiece for New England as he pursues continued success in the late stages of his career.
Diggs also provided context on his 2024 season, noting a knee injury with the Texans that interrupted a six-year run of 1,000-yard campaigns. He has since rebounded to become Maye’s top target in 2025, a role that has made him a key piece in the Patriots’ offense and a contender for Comeback Player of the Year, a field that includes players such as Aidan Hutchinson, Dak Prescott, Christian McCaffrey and Trevor Lawrence.
Though he’s participating in his first Super Bowl, Diggs insists he has nothing to prove to others. “I ain’t got nothing to prove,” he said, framing his mindset as one of self-confirmation and team-driven purpose rather than personal validation.
In this Chiefly-Bills era of the AFC East, Diggs’ comments reflect a balanced focus: value the Bills and their fans while contributing to a Patriots rebuild around Maye. As New England seeks to maximize Diggs’ window, the veteran’s influence and experience remain central to the team’s ceiling in the coming seasons.
