Stefon Diggs is back in the news for all the wrong reasons, and the latest court filing adds another layer to an already messy legal fight.
According to newly filed documents obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, Diggs asked Christopher Griffith to produce records tied to their May 2023 trip to Washington, D.C. Griffith, however, pushed back, saying Diggs already had those materials. His lawyer argued the request made little sense because Diggs and his team were the ones who arranged the trip in the first place.
“[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 had been laced with a drug, without Griffith knowing.
Griffith says Diggs then took out his penis and began masturbating, leaving him disgusted. He also alleges Diggs tried to kiss him and later 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 suit against Griffith. His attorney 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 discussed as a possible NFL target. 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 then said Diggs may not draw serious interest until 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."
On the field, Diggs finished the 2025 season with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. He added 14 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs.

Patriots First Round Pick Already Facing A Brutal Early Verdict
The Patriots went into the offseason trying to stabilize the front of their offense, and the moves around the line made that clear. Signing Alijah Vera-Tucker was meant to help at left guard and allow Jared Wilson to slide to center, while the first-round selection of Caleb Lomu added another premium young piece to the mix. On paper, it looked like the kind of investment a team makes when it wants to protect its quarterback and build a more reliable run game.
Lomus immediate path, though, is not as straightforward as a first-round label might suggest. He is projected to sit behind Will Campbell and Morgan Moses as a swing tackle, which means his rookie season could be more about waiting than playing. For a player with long-term upside, that creates an early test of patience, and it is the kind of setup that can make a first-round pick look far more vulnerable to scrutiny before he has much of a chance to prove himself.

Patriots Trade Idea Puts A Productive Young Receiver On The Block
A recent trade proposal has put DeMario Douglas back into the conversation around New Englands receiver room, with Bleacher Reports Moe Moton floating a deal that would send the young pass catcher to the Rams for a late 2027 draft pick. The idea is built around Los Angeles wanting another dependable option behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, while New England would be weighing whether to cash out on a productive player who has already shown he can contribute.
Douglass case is rooted in what he did last season, when he finished with 447 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 31 catches. For the Patriots, the question is less about whether he can help than whether a move like this would make sense if the roster picture keeps shifting, and for now it remains just that, a proposal rather than an official move.
