Mike Vrabel comments on potential Stefon Diggs return to Patriots
Summary

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the possibility of re-signing wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who remains a free agent following his release this offseason. Diggs, a key contributor in 2025, had his contract restructured for financial flexibility reasons. The Patriots have since added Romeo Doubs and traded for A.J. Brown, providing depth at the receiver position. While Vrabel expressed appreciation for Diggs and left the door open for a reunion, he indicated that the team is currently satisfied with its receiving corps. Diggs may consider returning if he seeks a secondary target role, though he could also wait for better opportunities elsewhere.
