Despite his acquittal, Diggs’ free-agent prospects were previously complicated by the ongoing legal cloud, and his agent and lawyer have asserted he will quickly find a new team. The Patriots released Diggs earlier in the offseason, and with charges resolved, interest is expected to surge. Diggs posted strong on-field numbers last season (85 receptions, 1,013 yards, 4 TDs) and played a key role for New England, making him an attractive veteran option for teams seeking performance and leadership.
Key points:
– Diggs was acquitted of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery after a jury found him not guilty.
– The NFL’s personal conduct policy remains a potential consideration for teams signing him.
– The Patriots moved on, but Diggs is positioned to attract new NFL interest given his recent performance and vindicated legal status.
