Stefon Diggs’ legal fight is still moving, and the latest filing adds another twist to a case that has already kept the former Patriots wideout in the spotlight.
According to newly filed court documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, Diggs asked Christopher Griffith to hand over records tied to their May 2023 trip to Washington, D.C. Griffith, however, pushed back and was reportedly told Diggs already had the materials.
Griffith says the request makes no sense because Diggs and his camp 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.”
That trip is where Griffith says the alleged sexual assault happened. He claims Diggs first gave him candy that had been laced with a drug without his knowledge, then took out his penis and began masturbating, leaving him disgusted.
Griffith also says Diggs tried to kiss him and invited him to his room, but he refused. About a week later, Griffith alleges Diggs’ older brother, Darez, and two other people attacked him.
Diggs has denied the accusations and has responded with a defamation suit 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 case hanging over him, Diggs is still being talked about as a possible addition for teams looking for help at receiver. On Monday’s episode of ESPN’s NFL Live, former quarterback Tim Hasselbeck floated 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 also said Diggs could have a market later in the summer.
"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.

These 5 Lions Carry Real Pressure Into 2026
The Lions have done what contenders are supposed to do this time of year: keep the core intact and push forward with a roster built to chase a Super Bowl in 2026. With much of the group still in place, the conversation around Detroit is less about overhaul than it is about whether the next wave of key contributors can take another step and match the standard the team has set for itself.
A closer look at that pressure points to a handful of players who now sit at the center of the discussion, including veterans on second contracts and younger pieces still working through their early years. The expectation is simple enough, even if the path is not: Detroit needs more from several important names if the roster is going to keep moving from good to truly dangerous, and the full breakdown of who is under the most scrutiny is where the real intrigue starts.

Dan Campbell Must Sharpen One Key Area For Lions To Finish It
Dan Campbell heads into his sixth season in Detroit with the kind of rsum that buys patience and respect. He has helped turn the Lions into a team with multiple winning seasons and a regular presence in the NFC North race, and the next step is less about changing who he is than tightening the edges around it. For a coach whose energy and edge have become part of the franchise identity, the challenge now is making sure that same urgency does not keep showing up in the form of avoidable mistakes.
The Lions also have a new offensive voice to fold in, with Drew Petzing taking over as coordinator, and that transition will matter as Campbell tries to keep the operation clean and efficient. The bigger question is whether he can sharpen the decision-making that has sometimes pushed Detroit into unnecessary risk, from discipline issues to the kind of aggressive fourth-down choices that can swing field position the wrong way. If the Lions are going to finish the job in 2026, Campbell's margin for error may be smaller than ever. [Read more 🡒]
Lions May Have A Training Camp Answer Fans Didn't See Coming
Avonte Maddox already proved useful for Detroit last season, when injuries in the secondary pushed him into a key defensive role after the Lions brought him back in free agency. His value has always been tied to versatility, and that matters again now as the Lions head into training camp with a secondary that still has some sorting out to do. Maddox can help in run support and in coverage, which is exactly the kind of flexibility this defense has leaned on before.
What makes his situation worth watching is how many moving parts are still in front of him. Kerby Joseph, Chuck Clark and Christian Izien all factor into the safety picture, and Maddox could see his role grow if the camp and preseason pecking order does not settle the way the Lions expect. Even if he is not penciled in as a headline name, he looks like the kind of defender who can end up playing more than a lot of people first assumed. [Read more 🡒]
