Player Signing Patriots Sign WR Stefon Diggs

[Joey007]

Diggs
Boutte
Douglas
Bourne
Polk

Baker
etc

That instantly looks so much better. I bet Drake is pumped.

And now we can focus on WR in round 2-3

If it comes from FanRumor.Com it’s definitely legit. Nothing has more cache than fan rumors.

 

[Water Boy]

This really leaves LT as the biggest hole on the roster.

True. I guess we still need to draft Hunter if he's available at 4. May open some options further down the draft to not to have to reach on WR in round 2 or 3.

 

[TommyD4207]

I will never doubt Alonzo Highsmith again. He thought he'd come back, I didn't.

3/69 is what he was making with the Texans, patriots gave a little there.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Unfortunately, with the Giants signing Russell Wilson, we will miss out on Hunter. Unless we trade up. Would love to see Hunter and Diggs together though.

Same here, i was getting pretty excited about adding both to our offense but now ill have to get my coping mechanisms in place

The Giants signed Wilson for one year and Adam Schefter said that the Giants still are linked to drafting Sanders. Wilson doesn’t change that according to Schefter.

I say now we can focus on OT.. Polk and baker can be brung along correctly and not have pressure on them. LFG.. finally have a real #1 WR again

 

[TommyD4207]

Is the player going to be ready day one? There's reports on it being a maybe. Further... is he going to be himself this season? Also not a slam dunk. If it was an automatic, he'd be signed by someone. Clearly the other 31 teams aren't all in on him, either.

He thinks so.

This is good news, The Pats have not had a true #1 sine Randy !! He will bring instant credibility to the offence and teams will have to game plan with him in the line up. His guaranteed money is not too bad. It’s a win win and now if Hunter is not available at the 4th pick we can concentrate on the o-line.
This is a great move for our rookie QB also, a legit playmaker. Since he passed his physical, I am not too worried about his ACL, besides I think he wants to prove a lot of people wrong, he will be motivated!!

 

[Huckleberry1]

And yall thought i was crazy when I said 25M eh

I definitely thought 25 was too high, but only guaranteeing 26 makes it really palatable. I hope he makes the entire deal, it would mean he panned out big time.

 

[jlu52]

The Patriots have fully checked him out by now, and their confidence must be pretty high that Diggs is healing well. Let's go, Patriots!

 

[Huckleberry1]

Didn’t the rumor say he turned them down?

And yall thought i was crazy when I said 25M eh

Not all, there were plenty of us that felt that would be right around the final number. What I balked at was the folks supporting that stupid Fanrumors piece that said 'Diggs dissed the Pats' for only offering $20M

 

[Pape]

Can’t call Kraft cheap now.

Yep. Real fan 02’ seems to be saying they were right.

 

[TommyD4207]

I hope he’s super motivated to play against Buffalo at least twice a year.

That was a big selling point.

 

[Chasing greatness]

We’re at a spot where we had to overpay a little and I’m ok with that if you get a solid two years post this year out of him. Probably the best we we have had on roster for a long time. Looking forward to the bills games now lol

No. It's real watching NBC sports Boston breer is talking about the deal.. so dam glad we have him... here's some other information on him...

He says a lot of things, most of which share a common lack of credibility
