Should Patroits Sign Stefon Diggs, Go All-In On Next Season? originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New England Patriots made a major move to acquire A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
The Patriots gave up a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. It is a major investment in a position they already invested in during free agency. The Patriots signed Romeo Doubs to a four-year, $68 million deal, worth up to $80 million, in free agency. Last season, the receiving corps did not have much going on behind Stefon Diggs.
Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins were solid players, but Brown and Doubs look to be an upgrade over what the Patriots had last season. Diggs was a 1,000-yard receiver last year, and he remains unsigned. Acquiring Brown is an all-in move, so should the Patriots also bring back Diggs to create an elite trio of wide receivers?
Well, the answer is more complicated than a simple yes or no. Right now, the Patriots' number three wide receiver is likely going to be Kayshon Boutte. However, there are rumors that he could be traded. He is in the final year of his deal and may want to play in an offense where he has a bigger role. He has been working out away from the team this offseason.
