At least five teams have checked in on Stefon Diggs, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, and the veteran wideout is still on the market with training camps closing in.
Diggs has already made clear he’s open to the idea of landing with his hometown Commanders, speaking at length about that possibility last month. For now, though, he remains unsigned two weeks before camps are set to open.
Back in May, SI.com’s Albert Breer said he believed Diggs would land on a one-year, $10 million deal and pointed to the Chiefs, Commanders, Falcons and Rams as logical fits.
Diggs, 32, entered the league as a fifth-round pick by the Vikings in 2015. He was still on his rookie deal when he agreed to a five-year, $72 million extension with Minnesota in 2018.
Minnesota later traded him to the Bills in 2020 in a deal that brought back draft picks, including a first-rounder. Buffalo then signed him to a four-year, $104 million extension after he was set to earn base salaries of $11.775 million and $11.85 million over the final two years of his previous contract in 2022 and 2023.
The Bills eventually moved Diggs again, sending him to the Texans for a 2025 second-round pick. At that point, he was due base salaries of $18.5 million and $18 million over the next two seasons, but Houston reworked the contract, gave him a raise and made him an unrestricted free agent in 2025.
Diggs played out that deal and then signed a three-year, $60 million contract with the Patriots in 2025. New England released him after one season.
Last season with the Patriots, Diggs played in all 17 games and finished with 85 catches on 102 targets for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns.

Vikings Fans Wont Like Where Kevin OConnell Just Landed
Kevin OConnells standing in the NFC North got a fresh look recently, and it was not especially flattering for the Vikings coach. Freddie Boston of Lombardi Ave slotted OConnell fourth among the divisions head coaches, a reminder that Minnesotas place in a rugged NFC North is being judged not just by roster talent, but by how consistently the sideline has translated it into results.
The critique centered on the same thing that has followed OConnell through his tenure: strong stretches have not always carried over from one year to the next. His teams have looked far better in even-numbered seasons than in odd ones, and the lack of postseason success remains a major part of the conversation as Minnesota heads into another demanding year. In a division where every edge matters, OConnell will have to answer that skepticism quickly. [Read more 🡒]
Kevin O'Connell Just Reached A Crossroads Vikings Fans Know Too Well
Kevin OConnell heads into the 2026 season with a very different kind of heat than he had when he first arrived in Minnesota. A winning record and an NFC North title in 2022 bought him plenty of goodwill, but a recent fan survey showed that confidence has slipped, and the mood around the coach feels more cautious now than celebratory.
The concern is less about what OConnell has already done than whether he can adjust when the margins get tighter. Fans and analysts have questioned his willingness to adapt the offense around an inexperienced quarterback and a shaky offensive line, especially in short-yardage spots, and the playoff frustration lingers with the Vikings still searching for the breakthrough win that would quiet a lot of the noise.

Two Vikings Moves Just Changed Everything About This Offense
Minnesota spent the offseason making two additions that could reshape the way this offense looks in 2025. The quarterback room got a major jolt, and the receiving group picked up another reliable target to pair with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, giving the Vikings a very different kind of depth than they had before.
Jauan Jennings is the sort of move that can quietly matter as much as the splashier one, because he gives the offense another proven option in a passing game that already has star power at the top. Add in the uncertainty around the quarterback competition, and there is a real sense that this unit could look far more dynamic than it did a year ago, with some around the league already viewing it as one of the NFLs most improved groups.
