The New England Patriots released star receiver Stefon Diggs earlier this offseason, and he’s yet to sign with a new team.
However, Diggs was dealing with some legal issues, for which he was found not guilty. With the legal case behind him, Diggs could sign soon, especially with OTAs coming up in the coming days and weeks.
With Diggs still searching for his first career Super Bowl, he could look to sign with a contender, and ESPN NFL analyst Matt Bowen named the Los Angeles Rams as the top fit for him.
“The Ravens could be a fit for Diggs, but I really like him in L.A. alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams,” Bowen wrote in an article published on Monday. “The Rams attempted 430 passes out of 11 personnel (three wide receivers) last season, which was ninth most in the league, and Diggs is a natural separator who can line up inside or outside.
“Plus, he has the toughness to work the middle of the field on in-breaking concepts, a key element of coach Sean McVay's offense. Diggs had 85 receptions last season for the Patriots, which was almost twice as many as their next-closest wide receiver (Mack Hollins with 46). He would provide an easy boost to the Rams WR room for quarterback Matthew Stafford.”
Diggs surprising with the Rams would be a bit of a surprise, as he would be the team’s No. 3 receiver. But, it would make Los Angeles’ offense that much better and give Diggs a chance to win a Super Bowl.
