Stefon Diggs just dropped a bomb on the entire NFL. While the four-time Pro Bowler is out there looking for a new home in free agency, he decided to let *everyone* know exactly where he thinks he stacks up. In a video on his YouTube channel, Diggs emphatically declared he is better than the number two receiver on any roster in the league right now. You heard that right. Any of them.
Diggs Thinks He's An Elite WR, Period.
Diggs wasn't shy about it. He put it out there for the world to hear, straight from his training video at the 9:49 mark. "My opinion, I can compete with anybody. But take those as your ones (WR1), right? You can't name a number two better than me. There's not a number two on a team. Let's presumably give people the credit and just say, 'Okay, you want to take the number one spot away?' Name your number two receiver right now, and tell me how much he makes, and then my last question is: Is he better than me?" That's some serious confidence. He even says there are only seven true number one targets he'd definitively rank above himself, though he didn't name them. By his own math, that puts him as no worse than the eighth-best wideout in the *entire NFL*. Talk about setting the bar high!So Why Is Diggs Still Unsigned? It's Baffling.
Here's the kicker, though. The dude is still unsigned! It's wild to think about, especially after the year he just had. In 2025, playing for the New England Patriots, Diggs put up a solid 1,013 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games. And get this: he did that playing most of the season at 32 years old, *and* he was coming off a torn ACL he suffered in October 2024. That's an impressive rebound year by anyone's standards. But despite that success, the Patriots cut him loose in March because he was going to hit their cap for a hefty $26.5 million. They went out and replaced him as their WR1 with A.J. Brown, who they snagged from the Eagles, and also brought in Romeo Doubs. Even if you don't buy Diggs's claim of being a top-eight guy, it's still super weird he's out there in free agency right now. There are so many teams that could use a reliable pass-catcher, a veteran presence. What are they waiting for? Is he waiting for training camps to start, hoping some team gets desperate and boosts his negotiating power? Maybe. But whatever his strategy, it would be a flat-out shocker if Stefon Diggs isn't wearing an NFL uniform when the regular season kicks off in September. The guy made his case loud and clear; now it's up to the league to decide who needs that "better than any WR2" talent.This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
