The New England Patriots had been searching for the better part of a year for a star wide receiver. Dating back to last summer, they were reportedly interested in trading for San Francisco 49ers All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. And while Tee Higgins re-signed with the Cincinnati Bengals and Davante Adams opted to land with the Los Angeles Rams, New England was left short of many other options.
Luckily for the Patriots, former All-Pro Stefon Diggs was also on the market. They brought the former Bill and Texan in for a visit, and he opted to sign a three-year deal worth up to $69 million.
