Stefon Diggs’ legal fight took another turn this week as new court filings surfaced in the case involving the former Patriots wide receiver and his male sexual assault accuser, Christopher Griffith.
According to TMZ, Diggs had asked Griffith to turn over records tied to their May 2023 trip to Washington, D.C. Griffith, however, pushed back and was reportedly told Diggs already had the documents.
Griffith’s side says the request doesn’t make sense because Diggs and his team were the ones who arranged the trip in the first place. His lawyer put it this way:
“[T]o the extent travel arrangements, confirmations or related documents exist, they are at least equally within [Stefon’s] possession, custody or control.”
The trip is at the center of Griffith’s allegations. He has claimed that Diggs sexually assaulted him after giving him candy that was, without Griffith knowing it, laced with a drug.
Griffith says Diggs then exposed himself and began masturbating, leaving him disgusted. He also alleges Diggs tried to kiss him and later invited him to his room, which Griffith refused.
About a week later, Griffith says Diggs’ older brother Darez and two others attacked him.
Diggs has denied the accusations and responded with a defamation lawsuit against Griffith. In that case, Diggs’ lawyer said:
"[Chris] engaged in extreme and outrageous conduct by knowingly publishing false statements accusing Plaintiff of violence, sexual assault, drugging people, and serious crimes."
Even with the case hanging over him, Diggs is still being mentioned as a possible option for NFL teams. On Monday’s edition of ESPN’s NFL Live, former quarterback Tim Hasselbeck pointed to the Chiefs as a fit.
“I think that there's value in Stefon Diggs in some role. A veteran receiver in some role, a team that's good with a quarterback that can handle him.”
Jeremy Fowler added that interest could build closer to training camp.
"I'm hearing he's gonna have a market closer to training camp. I was told that at least five teams that need a wide receiver have been checking in.
I'm looking to the DMV; that's where he's from. Commanders certainly need a receiver.
I think they're looking for more a speed option at this point."
Diggs finished the 2025 season with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, then added 14 receptions for 110 yards and a score in the playoffs.

Hugo Gonzalez Is Forcing Celtics Fans To Revisit One Massive Decision
Hugo Gonzalez has given Celtics fans a reason to look twice at a decision that once felt easy to file away. After a summer league stretch that showed real growth, the young wing has started looking less like a developmental piece and more like someone who could force his way into a bigger role sooner than expected, which is exactly the kind of progress Boston hoped to see when it brought him in.
The buzz around Gonzalez has only intensified because of the broader chatter surrounding what the Celtics were and were not willing to put on the table in a major offseason discussion. His recent play has added another layer to the conversation, since it is one thing to value a prospect in theory and another to watch him start flashing the kind of upside that makes every future roster call feel a little heavier.

Celtics Summer League Win Put One Roster Battle Under A Brighter Light
The Celtics fourth game in Las Vegas offered another useful snapshot of a summer roster that is still taking shape, and the win over Sacramento only sharpened the focus on a few players who keep showing up in the right moments. Hugo Gonzalez was again central to the action after a slow start, while John Tonje continued to make his case as a steady scoring presence, and Amari Williams and Chris Cenac Jr. each added more evidence that Boston has some real developmental pieces to monitor beyond the usual headline names.
Amari Williams, in particular, looked more comfortable after a rough Sunday outing, rebounding and pushing the ball with more confidence while also flashing the kind of passing touch that can make a big man stand out in this setting. Cenac Jr. kept building chemistry with him and gave Boston another look at size and rim protection, the sort of internal competition that can matter in July even if the final answers are still a little ways off.

The Jaylen Brown Trade Could Have Left Boston Looking Very Different
When Boston explored moving Jaylen Brown, the conversation stretched beyond a simple star-for-star swap and into the kind of roster reshaping that can alter a franchise for years. Minnesota was part of that process, and the Celtics were weighing a path that would have changed the balance of the roster at a time when they were still sorting out how to build around their core and where the frontcourt fit would come from.
What makes the idea so interesting now is how different the Celtics could have looked if that route had gone through. The center rotation, the need for another big, and even the way the wings would have been deployed all would have shifted, while Minnesota eventually moved in another direction and Boston had to keep building along a different track. It is the kind of near miss that says as much about a teams long-term planning as any finished deal ever could. [Read more 🡒]
