The decision will leave the Patriots without their No. 1 receiver from their 2025 season that produced a trip to the Super Bowl. Diggs led the Patriots in receptions and receiving yards with 85 catches for 1,013 and 4 touchdowns.

Barring a significant offseason addition, Diggs’ absence will leave a significant hole in New England’s lineup and third-year quarterback Drake Maye without a true No. 1 receiving option. The next three receivers on New England’s depth chart are Kayshon Boutte Mack Hollins DeMario Douglas, none of whom tallied more than 551 receiving yards last season.
