On Friday, NFL superstar Stefon Diggs was able to breathe a sigh of relief: After an investigation, the league cleared the 32-year-old of violating the NFL’s rules of conduct. After saying goodbye to the New England Patriots, the pass receiver would be available again for other teams. The Buffalo Bills are probably not interested in a reunion.
During his visit to SHOUT! – Buffalo Bills Football Podcast, head coach Joe Brady was asked about a possible return of Stefon Diggs after the NFL concluded its investigation into the 32-year-old and found no violation of the league’s code of conduct. The 36-year-old had a clear answer.
“I love the way he plays and I really respect him,” the head coach said, before adding, “But I have so much confidence in this group right now. I was excited about where these guys were during the offseason program. With Beane and our personnel department, it never stops – they’re always looking for ways to improve our roster.”
Buffalo Bills close door on Diggs return
But there is no room for the veteran, who is still on the market as a free agent after leaving the New England Patriots. “The additions we have with Skyler Bell and DJ Moore, as well as the development of Josh and Keon Coleman and the signing of these other players – I have so much confidence in the team,” Brady closed the door for the comeback on the East Coast.
Diggs came to the NFL in 2015 as a fifth-round draft pick to the Minnesota Vikings. In 2020, the Bills secured the services of the receiver, who, after one year with the Houston Texans, ended up with the Pats in Boston in 2025, where he signed for three years and a maximum of $69 million and went to the Super Bowl with the team. In the regular season, he broke the 1,000 receiving yard mark for the seventh time in his career.
Nevertheless, the Patriots parted ways with Diggs, who was most recently accused by his former cook of hitting and choking her during an argument in December 2025. He himself protested his innocence and was acquitted in court in May after a two-day trial. The league, for its part, had carried out its own investigations, which now came to the same conclusion.
