Stefon Diggs Enters Free Agency as Sexual-Assault Allegations Persist

Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs was released by the New England Patriots following the team’s Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Shortly after, social-media personality Christopher Griffith publicly accused Diggs of drugging and sexually assaulting him. The claim has been amplified by media coverage of Diggs’ former relationship with rapper Cardi B, who welcomed a child with the receiver in 2024.

Diggs has categorically denied the assault allegations and, in October 2025, filed a defamation lawsuit against Griffith. Griffith responded in an interview with TMZ, asserting that he was mischaracterized and accusing others of lying about the incident. No court rulings have been reported to date, leaving the dispute unresolved.

Despite the controversy, NFL insider Mike Florio reported that five teams have “checked in” on Diggs as a potential free-agent signing. In his sole 2025 season with the Patriots, Diggs recorded 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, marking his seventh career season with over 1,000 receiving yards.

These statements illustrate the conflicting narratives surrounding the case, while the ongoing interest from multiple NFL franchises underscores Diggs’ continued on-field value despite the legal controversy.
