The New England Patriots made to the decision to move off of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, as they will release him next week following the start of the league new year.
Cutting ties with the veteran will help New England’s salary cap, increasing their projected cap space by nearly $15 million to $57 million — while also freeing up the $22.5 million in cash owed to Diggs this upcoming season.
Now, the Patriots must use those resources to replace Diggs, who became the team’s first 1,000-yard wide receiver since 2019. That could come through free agency — perhaps with Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce close to hitting the market — through the trade market — A.J. Brown? — or later on this offseason in the NFL Draft.
Who exactly will it be? That is precisely what we want to know in this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey.
