Stefon Diggs - English
Veteran Stefon Diggs agreed to a three-year, $69 million deal-$26 million of it guaranteed-to become a new wide receiver for the New England Patriots, adding another weapon for Drake Maye. In his first year as the Patriots’ quarterback, Maye excited fans with his potential.
Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowler, is currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury he suffered while playing for the Houston Texans. After a brief stint with the team, he now returns to the AFC East division.
Hailee Steinfeld & Josh Allen’s love story keeps fans hooked
The 31-year-old receiver had four successful years with the Buffalo Bills, recording 36 touchdowns and surpassing 1,000 receiving yards for six consecutive seasons-two with the Minnesota Vikings and the rest with the Bills. In Buffalo, he had great moments with Josh Allen. Now, he returns to the division, but this time with the Patriots.
Stefon Diggs Compared Drake Maye to Josh Allen
During Diggs’ final moments with the Buffalo Bills, there was constant speculation that his relationship with quarterback Josh Allen was strained. However, on his first day as a Patriots player, Diggs spoke very positively about Allen.
Diggs stated that his new quarterback, Drake Maye-who is entering just his second year in the NFL-shares similarities with Josh Allen, a highly successful quarterback in the league.
“It’s crazy because, when you ask around, people say he acts a lot like Josh. And you know, that was my guy. We played him last year, and he showed a lot of fight. He has that fiery quarterback ‘I want to win’ mindset. So, that’s something I get excited about and love to be around.”
The injury prevented another big season for Stefon Diggs in 2024
Stefon Diggs played for the Houston Texans during the 2024 NFL season. In the eight games he played before suffering an ACL injury, he recorded 47 receptions for a total of 496 yards and scored three touchdowns.
“I was on pace for a 1,000-yard, 100-catch season if I hadn’t gotten hurt,” Diggs mentioned. “If I’m not mistaken, I would have been productive.”

Especially for Wilson, apparently.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSpeaking with the Miami Herald after Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel announced the change under center, Wilson reportedly said he was "frustrated" and maybe a little confused as well" about being passed over for starting duties this coming Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.He did wish Ewers well, though, via the Herald:"Of course I would love to play," Wilson said.

Seahawks vs. Rams odds, predictions: Best bets, player-prop wagers for Thursday Night Football
This is one of the toughest Thursday Night Football previews I have written this season, because the largest looming factor over this game is the weather report.All week there has been a projected 90% chance of rain in Seattle. The biggest move in the betting market has been on the game total, dropping from an opener of 45.5 all the way down to 42 now. I was lucky enough to identify this in my Tuesday article and recommend an under 44.5.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut at this point in the betting cycle — and truthfully at this point in the betting legalization era — sportsbooks have gotten incredibly sharp when it comes to factoring in weather conditions. The expected sustained wind of 13 mph with gusts north of 20 mph is priced into everything from the game lines to the passing and kicking player […]
Packers DC Jeff Hafley predicts Micah Parsons will break NFL sack record upon return from ACL tear
Cleveland Browns defensive stalwart Myles Garrett is staring down the NFL's single-season sack record. He's poised to break it at some point over the final three games of his 2025 campaign. But if you ask Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, that mark will be reset in 2026: by Micah Parsons, who suffered a season-ending ACL tear during a loss to the Denver Broncos last weekend."Just wait till you guys see how hard he works to come back, how fast he probably comes back," Hafley told reporters on Wednesday. "If I were a betting man, I would bet that he comes back better and probably breaks the sack record next year."So I'm going to put that on Micah and myself, and you guys can put it out there. And that's the confidence I have in him."That kind of output […]
Patrick Mahomes begins rehab from torn ACL, with Chiefs hoping he’ll be ready for next season
Patrick Mahomes is done for the season and so are the Kansas City Chiefs. Now the question is how much the quarterback's torn ACL will affect the 2026 season.Rick Burkholder, the Chiefs' vice president of sports medicine and performance, addressed that question with reporters on Wednesday, two days after Mahomes went under the knife for both a torn ACL and LCL. He projected optimism that Mahomes would enjoy a successful rehab, with a very loose recovery timeline of nine months:"Every player is different. Every sport's different. Every position is different. With him, traditionally, he's going after it so hard and he's so in tune with what he does, he does it a little quicker. Ballpark on this is nine months. Could be a month or two less, a month or two more. You never know what goes on and everyone's […]
