The New England Patriots<\/a> released Stefon Diggs<\/a> earlier this offseason, and some fans want him back to improve their Super Bowl odds even more.<\/p>\n

The Patriots released Diggs, who was their best receiver last season. He posted a 1,000-yard campaign and led the team in receptions. However, it can be argued that they are even better as a receiving corps right now, with Romeo Doubs<\/a> and A.J. Brown<\/a>. Some fans want him back to help form an elite trio, but he remains unsigned.<\/p>\n

Diggs should be able to find a new team before the season starts. One team that has been mentioned in rumors is the Washington Commanders<\/a>.\u00a0Diggs was born in Maryland. He played high school and college football in Maryland, so a return to his home state would not be surprising. Diggs was asked about potentially joining<\/a> the Commanders and gave a vague response.<\/p>\n

“Ah (expletive),” Diggs said to TMZ. “I don’t know, man. I’m open to everything. We’ll see.”<\/p>\n

Deebo Samuel<\/a> is a free agent, and his return to the Commanders seems unlikely.\u00a0The team drafted University of Clemson wide receiver\u00a0Antonio Williams<\/a>\u00a0in the third round of the NFL Draft, and he could end up playing a big role. However, outside of Terry McLaurin<\/a>, the team’s group of receivers is unproven.<\/p>\n

Diggs just had a stellar season after tearing his ACL the previous year. He has been cleared of all charges and was a great leader for the Patriots. A return to New England<\/a> would make fans happy, but he might not have as big a role as he would like. On the Commanders, he could be the No. 2 option.<\/p>\n
