The New England Patriots' signing of AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles has left many Patriots fans sad, but Stefon Diggs is not giving up. Despite being released by the Patriots, Diggs is still keen to make a comeback and is leaving no stone unturned to do so.
As the team welcomes AJ Brown, Stefon Diggs is still in the back of many Patriots fans' minds. But Diggs is making sure to do his bit to stay in shape in case a team comes in for him.
On Monday, as his former team was working to finalize the last details of Diggs replacement, the 32-year-old veteran wide receiver was in the gym. He posted a video of himself training hard with weights just hours before the AJ Brown to New England Patriots deal was finalized.
The addition of AJ Brown will be a significant upgrade for the New England Patriots despite Stefon Diggs' stellar form last season. In 17 games for the Patriots last season, Diggs registered 85 receptions for 1013 yards with four touchdowns.
The details of the AJ Brown trade see the Philadelphia Eagles receiving one first-round draft pick in 2028 and one fifth-round pick in the 2027 NFL draft. As part of the trade, the Patriots will inherit AJ Brown's existing contract for four years worth $113 million.
