Summary

Stefon Diggs remains a notable free-agent target for the Kansas City Chiefs as the 2026 NFL season approaches. Released by the New England Patriots in March, Diggs has recorded seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons, including 1,013 yards last year, aiding the Patriots' Super Bowl run. The Chiefs currently rely on tight end Travis Kelce and receiver Rashee Rice, who is projected for his first 1,000-yard season despite past injury issues. With $3,450,158 in salary cap space, Kansas City could pursue Diggs to bolster their receiving corps and Super Bowl aspirations.
