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.

Vikings May Have Found A Familiar Fix For One Lingering Concern
The Vikings still have a little unfinished business on the defensive front as training camp approaches, and it centers on edge-rush depth behind the starters. With cap space available, the front office can afford to look at low-risk options that would give the rotation more insurance and keep the pressure on the young players trying to carve out roles.
One familiar name is back in the conversation because of the versatility he has shown on the line and at edge, along with his previous stint in Minnesota. He also comes with a recent track record of steady pressure production, which makes him the kind of veteran depth piece teams often circle this time of year, even if the final decision still has to wait.

Vikings Suddenly Look Ahead Of The League With Aaron Jones Deal
Aaron Jones taking a pay cut to stay with Minnesota changes the conversation around the Vikings backfield and their cap planning all at once. His 2026 base salary dropped from $9 million to $5.5 million, a move that gives the team more flexibility while keeping a veteran runner in place after a season that was not as sharp as his best work.
The comparison to Alvin Kamara only sharpens the point, because New Orleans recently made a similar adjustment on its side of the ledger. Jones has still done enough over the last two seasons to make Minnesota feel good about the deal, and even in a down year he has remained part of the bigger running back discussion, with the Vikings now looking like they may have gotten ahead of a market that is still shifting.

Vikings Have A Center Safety Net If This Camp Gamble Unravels
Training camp is about to put the Vikings offensive line puzzle back under the microscope, and center remains the spot that could determine how smoothly the whole unit holds together. Blake Brandel is the expected starter, but he is still relatively new to the position after spending his earlier NFL work at tackle and guard, which makes this one of the more delicate camp bets on the roster. The coaching staff has sounded confident in him, but confidence and comfort are two different things once the pads come on.
Minnesota also has a possible escape hatch if the experiment needs support. Free agent Ethan Pocic, who has been cleared after last seasons Achilles injury with Cleveland, is at least a name worth monitoring as the Vikings weigh whether they want more insurance at a position that has given them trouble before. For now, Brandel gets the first shot, but the teams willingness to add depth could tell the real story as camp unfolds. [Read more 🡒]
