The New England Patriots and Stefon Diggs are going their separate ways.

Diggs’ return certainly wasn’t set in stone despite his impressive showing last season, as he carried a cap hit of $26.5 million. There was some buzz out of the combine that the Patriots and Diggs might try to restructure the contract, but instead, the receiver will be looking for a new team once again this offseason.

And it makes the Patriots’ need for a true top wide receiver that much more important.
