Patriots Set to Release WR Stefon Diggs Following Productive 2025 Season

  • The Patriots will release Stefon Diggs after the new league year on March 11, freeing about $16.8M in cap space and leaving a top‑receiver question for Drake Maye and the 2026 roster.
  • Diggs was productive in his lone Patriots season — team‑leading 85 catches for 1,013 yards and 4 TDs — though his playoff production dipped (14 catches, 110 yards, 1 TD in four games).
  • Diggs confirmed the move on social media and had off‑field legal issues late in the season; the situation is still developing.

  • Big shakeup coming: the Atlantic Sun is shrinking from 12 teams to just seven for 2026–27, and every current team gets into the conference tournament — the winner’s automatic bid is the only real ticket to March Madness.
  • Top dogs are Central Arkansas and Austin Peay (tied 15-3), two high-scoring teams with leaky defenses — they’re the favorites and set up an intriguing ASUN tourney showdown.
