BREAKING: Stefon Diggs is Being Released From The New England Patriots After Breakup with Cardi B

Add another veteran wide receiver to the list of pending NFL free agents.

The New England Patriots informed wide receiver Stefon Diggs that they will release him after the start of the new league year, which is set for March 11.

Diggs, 32, signed a three-year, $63.5 million contract with New England in free agency last offseason. He will end his Patriots tenure after playing one year on that contract.

“THANK YOU for a hell of a year,” Diggs wrote in an Instagram story. “We family forever (heart emoji).”

During the 2025 season, Diggs’ 11th season in the NFL, he caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. His receptions and yardage total, along with his 104 targets, led all Patriots pass-catchers this season.

The Maryland product will have a chance to join a fourth team in four seasons when he becomes a free agent next week after spending 2023 with the Buffalo Bills, 2024 with the Houston Texans and 2025 with New England.

Immediately following the Patriots’ 29-13 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, rumors reached a fever pitch that Diggs and his girlfriend, Cardi B, experienced a nasty split once eagle-eyed fans noticed that the couple unfollowed one another on social media.

The American rapper seemingly confirmed that she broke up with the wideout upon unleashing a scathing rant about her love life during a live performance.

It appears as though Diggs can’t catch a break, as the Patriots announced that they will be releasing him following the start of the league year. Last March, New England inked the 32-year-old to a three-year, $63.5 million contract that features $22.6 million in guarantees with options for the franchise to opt out or restructure in 2026 and 2027.
