Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs finally reached the Super Bowl last season, and this year could join another all-in title contender.
Diggs is still a free agent after being released by the New England Patriots just weeks after the team was dismantled in a Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Now, a former Seahawks legend turned NFL commentator believes Diggs would be a good fit for another potential AFC rival for the Bills.
Stefon Diggs Seen as Perfect Fit for Steelers
On his podcast, former All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman suggested Diggs could be the final piece for a Pittsburgh Steelers team hoping for a Super Bowl run. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers returned for what will be his final NFL season, though the team still has some holes in its wide receiving corps.
Diggs could be the perfect piece to fill the void, Sherman suggested.
“I think a team with a young receiving corps [or] an inexperienced receiving corps could take a shot at him,” Sherman said. “Could the Pittsburgh Steelers use him? I think they could.”
SI.com reporter Jack Markowski suggested that Diggs would be a great fit — as long as he’s willing to accept a lesser role.
“With Aaron Rodgers heading into what looks like the last hurrah of his NFL career, stockpiling talent and essentially taking more pressure off of him should be a priority for the organization,” Markowski wrote.
“The additions of Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard this offseason already accomplished that goal, though with a noticeable lack of proven depth beyond them and DK Metcalf, the Steelers would do well to address that hole this summer.”
Diggs would also likely need to accept a lower contract number than he’s used to in the past, Markowski added.
“The Steelers also have the least amount of cap space in the league, per Over the Cap, at $3.192 million,” Markowski wrote. “If Diggs lingers on the market for a little while longer and is willing to accept a bit of a limited role in exchange for playing for a playoff contender, then maybe he could become a realistic option.”
Stefon Diggs Hinted at Bills Return
The Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans in 2024 after months of cryptic social media posts from the wide receiver hinting the was not happy with the team. But Diggs could not be moving in the other direction, making some statement on social media hinting that he would welcome a return to Buffalo.
Diggs took to Instagram to share a video of his highlights with the Bills, adding a message that seemed to imply he would want to come back.
“Iono might gotta get back in that 14…” the caption read.
Diggs had faced some uncertainty heading into the offseason, facing charges that he assaulted a former personal chef, but he was acquitted after a trial in May. The NFL also announced that he would not be facing a suspension for the allegations, clearing the way for him to play in the 2026 season.
