Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs and the New England Patriots reached an agreement Tuesday on a three-year, $69 million deal that includes $26 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diggs, 31, suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Week 8 while with the Houston Texans but is on track to return for Week 1 of the upcoming season, a source told ESPN.
Up to that point, Diggs ranked seventh in the NFL in catches (47) and was second on the Texans in receiving yards (496). Quarterback C.J. Stroud had a passer rating of 104 and completed 73% of his passes when targeting Diggs.
The Patriots made an aggressive push to sign receiver Chris Godwin in free agency, which reflected their desire for a No. 1-caliber receiver to pair with second-year quarterback Drake Maye. When Godwin returned to Tampa Bay, the Patriots eventually turned to Diggs, bringing him to town for a visit last week.
Diggs joins a receiving corps with free agent signing Mack Hollins, veteran Kendrick Bourne and third-year players Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas among those near the top of the depth chart.
The Texans acquired Diggs from the Buffalo Bills last year and, as part of the trade, wiped out the final three years of his contract, allowing him to become a free agent in 2025.
Diggs set several team and league records during his time with the Bills, including being one of four players in NFL history to record four consecutive seasons with 100-plus receptions (Antonio Brown, Davante Adams and Marvin Harrison are the others).
A fifth-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015, Diggs has 857 receptions for 10,491 yards and 71 touchdowns (70 receiving) in 10 NFL seasons.
ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime and Mike Reiss contributed to this report.
