But take those as your ones (WR1), right? You can&#8217;t name a number two better than me. There&#8217;s not a number two on a team. Let&#8217;s presumably give people the credit and just say, &#8216;Okay, you want to take the number one spot away?&#8217; Name your number two receiver right now, and tell me how much he makes, and then my last question is: Is he better than me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Diggs does mention there are seven wide receivers he would definitively rank as true No. 1 targets, though he didn&#8217;t specifically name them. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">By that rationale, though, Diggs believes he is no worse than the eighth-best receiver in the NFL. He is coming off a strong 2025 season with the New England Patriots, putting up 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Considering Diggs played most of the season at the age of 32 and was coming off a torn ACL suffered in October 2024, it was an impressive rebound year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Despite the success Diggs had last season, the Patriots <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25401177-stefon-diggs-reportedly-released-patriots-wr-thanks-ne-hell-year-after-super-bowl-run\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">released<\/a> him in March when he was set to count $26.5 million against their cap. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">New England is replacing Diggs as its No. 1 receiver with A.J. Brown, who was acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots also signed Romeo Doubs in free agency. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Even if Diggs isn&#8217;t quite at the level he views himself, it is a bit odd that he remains unsigned at this point. There are many teams that could use another reliable pass-catcher. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">It could also be a situation where Diggs is waiting until after training camps begin to see if a need opens up for a team to increase his negotiating leverage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Whatever the case may be, it would be a surprise if Diggs isn&#8217;t on an NFL roster when the regular season begins in September. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Stefon Diggs continues to search for a new team in free agency, the four-time Pro Bowler is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":757272,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-757271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/757272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
