Seattle, Washington – Stefon Diggs has sent shockwaves through the entire American football world just hours after being acquitted and released from prison.
The former wide receiver of the New England Patriots unexpectedly made public his desire to join the Seattle Seahawks, instantly becoming the hottest topic in the NFL transfer news.
The incident originated in December 2025, when Diggs was accused of assaulting his personal chef during a dispute over payment. However, after a short trial, the jury took less than two hours to declare him not guilty on all charges due to a complete lack of physical evidence.
Right after regaining his freedom and having his honor restored, Diggs wasted no time in turning his attention to Seattle — the team he believes will help him rewrite the final chapter of his career.
"After everything I’ve been through, I believe Seattle is the most suitable place for me," Diggs shared.
"Head coach Pete Carroll builds a wonderful offensive system that I truly admire. Together with Geno Smith, I believe we can create something magical. If given the opportunity, I am ready to start over from zero as a Seahawk and prove my worth on the field."
With more than 11,500 receiving yards, 942 receptions, and 74 touchdowns in his career, Diggs remains one of the most skilled and experienced wide receivers in the NFL. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl 4 times and earned First-team All-Pro honors in 2020, when he led the league in receptions and receiving yards.
Diggs’ interest in the Seahawks is no coincidence. The Seattle offense under Pete Carroll needs a veteran WR with refined route-running, excellent yards after catch, and experience in big games — qualities that Diggs still possesses even at 32 years old.
Currently, the Seahawks have a rapidly developing Geno Smith, along with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, but they still lack a true “alpha receiver” capable of commanding defensive attention. Diggs could be the exact piece to fill that gap.
If the deal is successful, this would be a symbolic transaction: a star who has just gone through a major crisis finding a new home to revive his career, while the Seahawks gain a high-quality weapon to compete deeply in the NFC West and aim for the Super Bowl.
For Stefon Diggs, Seattle is not just a new team — it is an opportunity for him to prove that he is not finished, and that he still has what it takes to return to the highest level.
The entire NFL is now waiting to see how the Seahawks will respond to this dramatic “rebirth” statement from Stefon Diggs.
