Patriots Gain $16 Million in Salary Cap Relief by Moving on From Stefon Diggs

The Patriots informed Diggs he’ll be released at the start of the league year, with his cap hit jumping from $10.5M to $26.5M. The move creates $16M in relief. By cutting him before March 13, New England avoids a $20.6M base salary and $6M guarantee, while taking on $9.7M in dead money for 2026.
