NFL world reacts to Stefon Diggs signing with Patriots

[ASFN Admin]

The New England Patriots signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million deal on Tuesday. It's a move that sets the Patriots up with a No. 1 wideout and offensive weapon for quarterback Drake Maye.

Naturally, the news set off shock waves on social media for a Patriots team that has been looking to land a true No. 1 wide receiver ever since the departure of Randy Moss in 2010.

Diggs is coming off a season that saw him record 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns with the Houston Texans. His year was cut short due to a torn ACL injury.

If not for the injury, he was averaging enough yards to hit his seventh straight 1,000-yard receiving season.

The NFL social media community had strong reactions to Diggs joining the Patriots, and we picked out some of the best ones.

Picking up Stef Diggs is def a Patriots move. I like it.

Diggs to the Patriots is wild

The Diggs move may be a response to the Giants signing Russ and the patriots feeling Travis Hunter would be off the board

Stefon Diggs to the Pats?! Man, as a Pats fan from Providence, this one hits different. $69M for a 31-year-old WR post-ACL… Belichick would NEVER. But hey, new era, new moves. Big risk or big reward?#NFL#Patriots#StefonDiggs

Sheesh, Diggs is not worth that type of money. But the patriots are desperate and Diggs used that as leverage. Makes sense https://t.co/WTjpxCA09F

Diggs is a great vet pickup for the Patriots but I still think they should draft another receiver in the draft. Even if it's not Travis Hunter.

Stefon Diggs has been one of the most underrated players in the NFL for a few years now. How he'll look coming off of a torn ACL is certainly a legitimate question, but the ceiling of his move for the Patriots is beyond worth the risk.
