Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver and current NFL free agent Stefon Diggs is in Foxborough visiting with the New England Patriots.
The Athletic's Chad Graff was the first to report the visit on Wednesday, and NFL insider Albert Breer did some follow-up reporting on Thursday morning.
Per Breer, Diggs had dinner with the Patriots staffers on Wednesday night, and he is scheduled for meetings and a physical on Thursday. The 31-year-old receiver is coming off a torn ACL in a season where he was trending toward his seventh consecutive 1,000-yard receiving year.
Through eight games, he was averaging 62 yards per game with 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns. That production came on a Houston Texans team that featured Nico Collins as the top receiving target.
Diggs would step back into the role of a No. 1 receiver in New England.
The team has struggled to land top receiver talent, and he would be the best talent they've had at the position in years. But how serious is he about actually signing with the Patriots? Could he be using them to boost his market for opportunities elsewhere?
It all must be taken into consideration.
But the bigger picture is he traveled all the way to Foxborough to meet with the Patriots, and if everything checks out health-wise, they'll have to pitch him a good reason not to leave without an enticing contract offer.
