Chiefs Pull Off a Stunning Coup: Longtime Rival Set to Join Kansas City on a New Contract
Wide receiver Stefon Diggs is one of the biggest names on the free agent market, and the former All-Pro could sign with a longtime rival in the offseason. Origianlly entering the league with the Minnesota Vikings, Diggs joined the Buffalo Bills in 2020 before joining the Houston Texans in 2024. In four of the past five seasons, Diggs’ season ended at the hands of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Now set to reach unrestictred free agency, one prominent NFL insider believes the veteran could join his longtime rivals.
According to Bleacher Report‘s Moe Morton, Stefon Diggs is the ideal free agent for the Chiefs, as his injury will likely drive down his cost on the open market and the team could use a reliable set of hands for their inevitable postseason run.
“Coming off a significant injury, DIggs may be available on the free agent market at a discounted rate…The four-time Pro Bowler is an ideal fit for a team that doesn’t need him at full strength early in the season but could use a boost down the stretch and in the playoffs.”
Chiefs Projected to Sign Free Agent Stefon Diggs
It would be weird to see Stefon Diggs in a Chiefs uniform, but stranger free agent signings have happened. As alluded to above, Diggs tore his ACL in October and the 31-year-old may not be at full strength in Week 1. However, the Chiefs boast one of the best rosters in football and the regular season is something of a formality for them. They will make the playoffs, and they must be at their best when the postseason kicks off.
Due to his age and injury status, Stefon Diggs will not be the most popular name on the free agent market. However, he should draw some interest, and the Chiefs won’t be the only team interested in signing the veteran. In no particular order, the following three teams could also make a push for his services.
