Free agent wide receiver and former New England Patriots pass-catcher Stefon Diggs has been linked to the Kansas City Chiefs numerous times this spring.
ESPN NFL analyst Aaron Schatz urged a different AFC West team to sign Diggs in an article published Thursday though.
"Diggs was the dependable No. 1 target who helped the Bills' Josh Allen significantly improve. Then he was the dependable No. 1 target who helped the Patriots' Drake Maye significantly improve. So why wait for Fernando Mendoza's second season to get him a dependable No. 1 target who can help him significantly improve?" Schatz asked. "The Las Vegas receiver depth chart is severely lacking, and Diggs was still good enough to finish second among wideouts last season in ESPN Analytics' receiver score. This one seems like a no-brainer."
The argument for the Las Vegas Raiders targeting Diggs makes sense.
The Raiders' current group of projected starting wideouts for No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza's rookie season includes Jack Bech, Jalen Nailor and Tre Tucker.
Las Vegas has 2025 sixth overall pick Ashon Jeanty as their starting running back and two-time Pro Bowler Brock Bowers lined up at tight end but could use a player like Diggs to improve the wide receivers' room.
The 32-year-old was New England's top wideout during the 2025 campaign, recording 85 catches for 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns while adding 14 receptions for 110 yards and one score in the playoffs.
