Stefon Diggs reaches a turning point as legal trouble keeps the veteran wide receiver sidelined during the 2026 offseason. Multiple felony charges regarding an alleged assault on his personal chef have forced NFL teams to wait for pretrial proceedings.
FanSided analyst Austen Bundysuggests the Baltimore Ravens are the top landing spot for the 32-year-old playmaker. Diggs must first stay out of prison before any contract talks begin.

Lamar Jackson needs more weapons to complement Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Diggs would provide a reliable veteran presence for a Baltimore offense looking to dominate the AFC.
While the Minnesota Vikings remain a speculative homecoming destination, the Ravens offer a more immediate path to championship contention. Bundy notes that Diggs would be a solid weapon for Jackson.
Minnesota needs a WR3 following the departure of Jalen Nailor to the Las Vegas Raiders. CBS Sports analyst Garrett Podellbelieves bringing back the veteran makes sense for a 2026 playoff push.
Diggs recorded 365 receptions for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns during his previous 70 games with the Vikings. A reunion would place him behind superstars Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
Baltimore Ravens emerge as top landing spot for Stefon Diggs
The Ravens are viewed as the favorites because their roster is ready to win immediately, according to FanSided. They have a massive opening for a veteran who understands how to beat coverage.
Baltimore currently lacks proven depth behind their young starters which makes Diggs a perfect fit for their system.
Providing Kyler Murray with three high-caliber wideouts would certainly be helpful for the Vikings. Diggs would not have to work as hard to get open as he ages playing alongside Jefferson.
However, the legal process remains the primary hurdle for any interested team this spring.
Diggs’ attorney Mitchell Schuster claims his client is “completely innocent” regarding the felony strangulation and criminal charges. The NFL community awaits the resolution of these legal matters before any team moves forward with a signing.
Diggs spent last season with the New England Patriots before entering this uncertain free agency period.
Kevin O’Connell needs to get Minnesota back to the playoffs in 2026 after a disastrous 2025 with J.J. McCarthy. Adding a veteran like Diggs could stabilize the offense for Kyler Murray. Whether he picks a homecoming or a fresh start in Baltimore depends on his upcoming court dates.
