Stefon Diggs is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the latest court filing adds another layer to the ongoing dispute involving the former Patriots wide receiver.
On Tuesday, TMZ reported that newly filed court documents show Diggs asked Christopher Griffith to hand over records tied to their May 2023 trip to Washington, D.C. Griffith says he was already told Diggs had those documents, and his side argues the request makes no sense because Diggs and his team 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.”
That trip sits at the center of Griffith’s allegations. He claims Diggs sexually assaulted him after giving him candy that, without Griffith knowing it, had been laced with a drug.
Griffith says Diggs then exposed himself and began masturbating, which he found revolting. He also alleges Diggs tried to kiss him and invited him to his room, but Griffith refused.
About a week later, Griffith says Diggs’ older brother Darez and two other people attacked him.
Diggs has denied the accusations and has filed a defamation lawsuit against Griffith. His 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 legal fight hanging over him, Diggs is still being discussed as a possible addition for NFL teams. On Monday’s edition of ESPN’s NFL Live, former quarterback Tim Hasselbeck said the Kansas City Chiefs could make sense as a landing spot.
"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 then said interest could pick up later in the offseason.
"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 touchdown in the playoffs.

Sabres May Finally Have An Answer In The Hellebuyck Chase
Ryan McLeod has quietly become one of the more interesting names in Buffalos ongoing search for a difference-making goalie. The Sabres have spent plenty of time trying to sort out their forward depth, and McLeods recent growth has only made him more appealing as a possible piece in any bigger conversation. His past connection with Jets forward Cole Perfetti adds another layer to why Winnipeg could view him favorably, especially if the Sabres ever get serious about chasing Connor Hellebuyck.
For now, though, this remains more of a fit than a finished deal. Buffalo has other young forwards who could enter the discussion, including Konsta Helenius, Zach Benson, Josh Doan, Jack Quinn and Peyton Krebs, but the exact shape of any potential package is still unclear. McLeods value has risen enough to make him a logical talking point, yet the Sabres are still in the speculative stage, waiting to see whether this chase ever turns into something concrete.

Sabres Goalie Chase Just Took A Twist Fans Wont Ignore
The Jets took one bit of uncertainty off the board by agreeing to a five-year deal with Cole Perfetti, sidestepping arbitration and keeping one of their young core pieces in place. For Buffalo, though, the bigger storyline still sits in the background: Winnipegs long-running speculation around Connor Hellebuyck, a name that has hovered over the Sabres goalie search and kept trade chatter alive around the league.
Ryan McLeod has surfaced as a logical piece in any return package, which makes the conversation around Buffalo even more interesting given the other names that have been floated. Jack Quinn and Peyton Krebs have also been mentioned as possible components, but the market still feels fluid, and the Sabres are waiting to see how far Winnipeg is willing to go before the real shape of a deal comes into focus.

Why Sabres Fans Are Suddenly Talking Themselves Into Louis Crevier
Louis Crevier is the kind of defenseman Sabres fans can talk themselves into pretty quickly. After coming over in the deal involving Bowen Byram, the 25-year-old arrived with a season in Chicago that hinted at real growth, the sort of step forward that makes a player look less like a throw-in and more like a piece with a future. He set career highs across the board with the Blackhawks, and for a Buffalo blue line that always has room for more size and stability, that matters.
The appeal starts with the physical profile. At 6-foot-8, Crevier already stands out before he takes a shift, and he backed that up with a heavier, more complete season that showed he can contribute at both ends and play with bite. The Sabres are still sorting out what their long-term top four looks like, but Crevier has at least given the fan base a reason to wonder whether he can grow into that conversation sooner rather than later.
