Wide Receiver

Stefon Diggs

No. 8 · 12th season

Vrabel won't say yes, but he won't say no either

There is a version of this where the door is open. There is another version where it is just politely not yet closed.

Stefon Diggs has spent his career being one of the most recognizable receivers in the league — the kind of player whose name gets mentioned every time a team needs a spark. Right now he is a free agent, and the New England Patriots are the team being asked about him.

Coach Mike Vrabel said this week that the Patriots are not actively working to bring Diggs in. He also said he would not rule it out entirely. That is a narrow gap between the two, and it is exactly the kind of gap that keeps a story alive.

For Diggs, the wait is real. At this stage of a career, every week without a team is a week that matters. A door that is not fully shut is better than one that is, but it is not the same as a phone call.

What Vrabel gives the world is one sentence that says almost nothing and says just enough.
