The name that immediately jumps out on the list is wide receiver Stefon Diggs, the Patriots’ leading wideout from the 2025 season. He became the first Patriots receiver since Julian Edelman to eclipse 1,000 yards in a single NFL season last year.<\/p>\n
New England would have loved to run it back another year, but they were forced to part ways due to the $26.5 million cap hit on Diggs’ contract for the 2026 season. However, Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf didn’t rule out a possible reunion with the four-time Pro Bowler.<\/p>\n
