Picture this: Patrick Star, SpongeBob’s goofy sidekick, grinning like he just won the lottery. Now imagine Stefon Diggs—NFL’s route-running Picasso—posting that exact meme hours after inking a deal hotter than a Texas brisket. The Patriots? Mike Vrabel? A plot twist even Succession couldn’t script.
On Tuesday, Diggs signed a three-year, $69 million deal with New England, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. And the next thing he did was share a Patrick Star picture on his Instagram story. The move pairs rookie QB Drake Maye with a four-time Pro Bowl weapon—though Diggs is still rehabbing a Week 8 ACL tear. Before injury, he was cooking.
47 catches (7th in NFL), 496 yards, and a 104 passer rating for C.J. Stroud. He’s a game-changer. But health’s the asterisk. However, the Patriots’ rebuild just got a jolt.
Diggs, whose 857 career catches outnumber Fenway’s foul poles, joins a squad hungry for star power. Remember, he’s one of four players ever with four straight 100-catch seasons—elite company like Antonio Brown and Marvin Harrison.
Yet questions linger. Can Diggs, 31, bounce back like Tom Brady post-ACL? Or will his Patriots chapter fizzle like a flat soda? One thing’s clear: New England’s offense just added fireworks. And Diggs? He’s already trolling us with cartoons.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
