Stefon Diggs faces a major update in legal case.

Former Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs is heading to court on charges of felony strangulation related to an alleged assault on a former personal chef, with the dispute over pay cited as the cause. The trial in Massachusetts is slated to begin soon, with jury selection expected to start the following week and a trial readiness hearing set just before. Diggs has pleaded not guilty, and his legal team expects exoneration at trial; the Patriots had previously stated they would cooperate with authorities while Diggs denied the allegations.

Diggs’ legal situation adds uncertainty to his NFL future. He has remained unsigned through the early weeks of free agency, though analysts have suggested potential fit with the Las Vegas Raiders, who could benefit from a reliable target for their developing quarterback. The NFL reserves the right to suspend players for alleged crimes even without a conviction, leaving Diggs’ status with both the league and teams in flux as the trial progresses.

Key Takeaways:
– Diggs faces felony strangulation charges from an alleged 2023 incident; he pleads not guilty.
– Trial in Massachusetts is set to start soon, with jury selection and a readiness hearing on the horizon.
– His NFL future remains uncertain as legal proceedings unfold and league disciplinary options remain possible.
