Diggs is also getting a glimpse at what life is like when he’s not the top option on the market. The 31-year-old receiver has always been in-demand, serving as a top receiver for the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills before having to take a back seat with the Houston Texans.
He had to share the 2024 spotlight with Nico Collins and Tank Dell, but saw his season ultimately cut short with a torn ACL in Week 8.
Now, Diggs is on the open market, able to take his talents wherever he wants – provided the team wants to sign him. Here are some of the teams that could come calling for his services in 2025.
Stefon Diggs landing spots
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys opened up some cap space after restructuring deals for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, but haven’t found anything worth spending it on – yet. That remains a common theme in Dallas, since it hasn’t spent more than $6 million per year on an outside free agent since signing Greg Hardy in 2015.
Diggs might be the one worth opening the checkbook for, though, especially in this free agent class. The Cowboys are still on the hunt for a receiver that can take some attention away from Lamb and the well is running dry. Diggs might be coming off an ACL tear, but going from Houston to Dallas makes plenty of sense, especially with his brother, Trevon Diggs, already on the Cowboys.
New England Patriots
Will the Patriots ever find a receiver for Drake Maye? With DK Metcalf already being traded to Pittsburgh and Tee Higgins being franchise tagged by the Cincinnati Bengals, New England will have to either get creative or dive into the free agent waters.
Stefon Diggs doesn’t fit the profile of a receiver that will be with the team for many years to come, but that option doesn’t exist beyond a trade. At the very least, Diggs would be a major upgrade to the New England receiving room next season.
Los Angeles Chargers
It’s no secret that the Chargers could use some reinforcements at receiver. They seemed like a perfect landing spot for Metcalf or Higgins, but are now left picking up what’s left in free agency or turning to the draft. Despite trying his best in the playoffs, Ladd McConkey can’t do it all for Jim Harbaugh’s team.
Los Angeles has over $84 million in cap space currently, the second-most in the league, per OverTheCap. It can easily add the four-time Pro Bowler and then spend a pick on another receiver at the draft, making Hollywood a prime landing spot for Diggs.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Much like the other teams on this list, Jacksonville is in need of another receiver and has failed to add any thus far. Liam Coen will want a little more than just Brian Thomas Jr. at his disposal next season. Whether that comes in free agency or the draft remains to be seen.
The path to contending in the AFC South is clear, especially as the Texans have taken a step back in the early part of the offseason. Diggs shouldn’t be too expensive, given his age and injury, but can be the right risk for a Jacksonville team hoping to compete in 2025.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders are looking to get back into the playoff picture next season, as evidenced by their moves to begin the offseason. They traded for 34-year-old QB Geno Smith and hired 73-year-old Pete Carroll to coach the team. Those moves don’t exactly translate to a team playing the long game in the rebuilding process.
That paves the way for Diggs to become a possibility in free agency. Vegas is desperate for a receiver after trading away Davante Adams last season and appears adamant about fast-tracking a path back to the playoffs. With money to spend and a need at the position, the Raiders might be the most motivated to make a move like this happen.
