Wide receiver Stefon Diggs reportedly narrowed his free agency options down to the New England Patriots or the Denver Broncos before reaching a final decision, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Reporting on @NFLGameDay Morning, Rapoport clarified that the star wideout's market eventually centered on those two AFC programs. The news highlights how close both the Patriots and Broncos were to landing the high-profile veteran to lead their respective offensive units during this recruitment cycle. Both teams have been vocal about their desire to add elite talent to their passing games, and Diggs represented the top tier of available talent on the open market.
Beyond the Diggs update, Rapoport also reported that the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks both have "big-time contractual priorities" to address once their current slate of games concludes. Both NFC West rivals are expected to enter significant negotiations as they look to secure key pieces of their rosters and manage their salary cap situations heading into the next phase of the season. Specific players involved in these priority talks have not yet been disclosed by the teams or the league.
