BREAKING: Patriots Give The Final Hit To Stefon Diggs Following His Breakup with Cardi B After The Super Bowl

Less  than a month after leading the New England Patriots to a Super Bowl LX opportunity that unfortunately ended the wrong way, star wide receiver Stefon Diggs finds himself at a career crossroads in a twist of his fate. While the lights of Levi’s Stadium showed the Patriots’ 29-13 loss to the Seahawks, the spotlight kept aiming at Diggs’ personal and professional life struggles.

Following his loud split from Cardi B with a looming legal battle too, the 32-year-old veteran is now facing a final hit from the franchise he saw as a home. According to some reports, Diggs could become head of a potential release that would save the team millions but leave quarterback Drake Maye without his favorite target.

A question about $26.5 million

Despite his great productivity for the team, the Patriots are facing a cold financial reality that must be dealt with. Diggs is currently tied with a $26.5 million cap hit in 2026. According to reports from MassLive, the team is working toward a resolution but remains firm: Diggs must restructure his deal if he wants to stay.

The Patriots have reportedly offered an incentive deal, but sources suggest Diggs is unwilling to take a pay cut after accomplishing a +1,000 yard season.

With the March 13 deadline for his $6 million guarantee approaching, the Patriots are already looking for replacements. Names like A.J. Brown have surfaced in trade rumors, signaling that New England is prepared to move on if Diggs does not agree on a new contract.

This situation may be a bit tricky for Stefon Diggs as he arrived in New England to prove he was still an elite No. 1 receiver, and he did exactly that. But as he navigates his breakup and serious legal allegations, the Patriots may decide that the financial and culture cost of keeping the veteran is simply too high.
