In a jaw-dropping move thatβs sending shockwaves across the NFL, the New England Patriots have officially cut ties with star wide receiver Stefon Diggs β just hours after a controversial video of him surfaced online.
The video, which exploded on social media late Tuesday night, shows Diggs in what fans are calling a βwildly inappropriate and totally un-Patriot-likeβ situation. While the exact contents of the clip remain unconfirmed by the team, insiders say the organization viewed it as a βmassive distractionβ and βa direct violation of team culture.β
βThis isnβt who we are,β one team official allegedly told a Boston sports radio host. βNo matter how talented you are β if you bring drama, youβre out.β
Diggs, who was acquired earlier this year in a blockbuster trade, was expected to be the centerpiece of the Patriotsβ new-look offense under head coach Jerod Mayo. His sudden release just weeks before training camp has left fans reeling β and asking the same question:
What was in that video?
So far, Diggs has not publicly addressed the situation. His camp has gone radio silent, and requests for comment from his agent have gone unanswered. Meanwhile, NFL insiders are already speculating about which team might take a chance on the explosive receiver β assuming the video doesnβt scare them off.
