The NFL will not punish undrafted free agent Stefon Diggs, who was found not guilty of assault in May.
The league notified Diggs on Friday that it has concluded its investigation and that there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of a personal conduct violation, NFL Networks insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Four-time Pro Bower had been charged with aggravated strangulation and assault stemming from an alleged dispute with his former chef. Diggs was found not guilty on May 5.
Despite the acquittal, the NFL could have punished the outfielder if they had found he had violated the personal conduct policy. Friday’s news closes the book on that possibility.
Diggs spent the 2025 season with the New England Patriots and had 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Pats reach the Super Bowl. New England released a wideout earlier this offseason. Given the additions of AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason, a crowded WR room has little need to bring back a veteran like Diggs.
With penalty kicks no longer in play in the league, Diggs could find a new home during the league’s offseason or perhaps training camp.
