Diggs would give them another established option out wide.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>But the Atlanta Falcons have not responded to the trade rumors involving Stefon Diggs yet.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>While the popular wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, has been a force to be reckoned with on the field, he continues to be involved in controversial lawsuits.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Stefon Diggs\u2019 assault lawsuit filed by his ex personal chef is scheduled for its next hearing on 4th May as his attorney, Mitchell Schuster, claimed his innocence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Stefon Diggs\u2019 attorney said, &#8220;We are confident that after the facts and evidence are reviewed in this case he will be exonerated. It&#8217;s a shame that this had to happen today.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>He added, \u201cIt&#8217;s frustrating for him to have to be here knowing what really happened. He&#8217;s a good person and we are looking forward to the prosecutors seeing all the facts and evidence that we have gathered.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Throughout the last season, Stefon Diggs\u2019 name remained attached to various other lawsuits filed by his ex girlfriends as he continued to put up an impressive performance on the field.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>After an injury plagued season in 2024, Stefon Diggs finished last season with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Stefon Diggs also became the first Patriots receiver to record at least 1,000 receiving yards in a single season since Julian Edelman in 2019.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Despite his strong performance, the New England Patriots released him last month amid strong speculations that it was tied to the controversial lawsuits he is involved in.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>For now, Stefon Diggs has been focusing on training as all eyes remain on where he ends up next.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/><\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/nfl\/news\/nfl-trade-rumor-atlanta-falcons-could-make-bold-move-to-strengthen-offense-with-63m-former-new-england-patriots-star-despite-legal-issues\/articleshow\/130511290.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta Falcons could make bold move to strengthen offense with $63M former New England Patriots&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[32842,32844,32846,32843,32845],"class_list":["post-13836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-atlanta-falcons-trade-rumors","tag-nfl-2024-season-preview","tag-nfl-wide-receiver-trade-news","tag-stefon-diggs-lawsuits","tag-stefon-diggs-performance-stats"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/d.sheep-mine.ts.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
