Multiple Patriots players, including star CB, want Stefon Diggs back

Multiple Patriots players pitched for star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to return to New England on social media.

Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs is on the hunt for his next NFL destination—but could it be a return to familiar territory? After spending the 2025 season with the New England Patriots, Diggs took to Instagram to break his silence on his future, posting his impressive stats and asking fans where he might land next.

"This is not an opinion-based sport, so here are the numbers," Diggs wrote. "I played 52% of the snaps and finished with 85 catches for 1,045 yards coming off an ACL. Where we going?"

The response from Patriots players was swift and enthusiastic. Star cornerback and former All-Pro Christian Gonzalez didn't mince words, posting simply, "To the pats." Defensive tackle Milton Williams chimed in with the eyeballs emoji, while running back Rhamondre Stevenson added the fingers crossed emoji. Wide receiver DeMario Douglas kept it cool with, "One of dem ones."

It's a clear signal that New England's locker room wants Diggs back for the 2026 season. The Patriots released Diggs at the start of the new league year, with executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf citing financial and ability reasons. But Wolf also left the door open, saying multiple times that a return wasn't out of the question.

Adding to the intrigue, the Patriots have already signed wide receiver Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal in free agency and are expected to trade for Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown after June 1. A receiving corps featuring Brown, Diggs, and Doubs would be a dream scenario for any quarterback—and a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Will the Patriots make it happen? The players have made their voices heard, and the front office has some big decisions ahead. One thing's for sure: the football world will be watching closely.
