"Diggs discussed how he came close to signing with the Broncos last offseason before ultimately choosing to land in New England. Diggs spoke about how he had a good relationship with Davis Webb on the Broncos coaching staff and how that almost tipped the scale in Denver's favor. "I just got a good relationship with somebody that's on [Sean Payton's] staff... He was in Buffalo so he actually taught me the offense in Buffalo," Diggs said."
"Diggs signed with New England on a three-year deal that was criticized a bit at the time. He had gotten injured during the 2024 season while he was with the Texans and that, paired with his flare for the dramatic during his time in Buffalo, made Patriots fans side-eye the contract a bit. Fans are certainly happy to eat the words they might have thrown out at the time, however, because Diggs has been a great addition to this team."
Stefon Diggs said he nearly signed with the Denver Broncos last offseason before choosing the New England Patriots. He formed a strong relationship with Davis Webb, who helped teach him the Buffalo offense, and that connection nearly tipped the decision toward Denver. Diggs eventually signed a three-year deal with New England despite criticism about his 2024 injury and past antics. He finished the 2025 season with over 1,000 receiving yards and four touchdowns, becoming a key weapon for Drake Maye. Weather limited offensive production in the AFC Championship Game, but Diggs remained an important addition to the Patriots' roster.
