16+ min ago (629+ words) November 30, 2025, 12:30 PM Diggs established himself as one of the NFL's best wide receivers during a run with Minnesota and Buffalo from 2018 to 2023 when he had six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. But after a trade from the Bills to the Houston Texans following the 2023 season and subsequent season-ending knee injury after a mostly lackluster eight games with the Texans last season, where the 10-year veteran would land in free agency was a mystery. That place ended up being one of the biggest offseason acquisitions for a New England team that was in need of a dependable wide receiver for second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

Hamburg had been hanging on after the 18-year-old Norwegian Alexander R'ssing-Lelesiit's sending off in the 81st with his second yellow card for a late challenge on Josha Vagnoman.
