The New England Patriots moved on from Stefon Diggs this offseason, and he is still looking for his next team.

Diggs free agency has dragged out, likely due to charges of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery brought on by his former live-in personal chef. However, on Tuesday, he was found not guilty and took to social media to remind teams of what he can do to help them.
"This is not an opinion-based sport, so here are the numbers," Diggs captioned the Instagram post of his Patriots highlights. "I played 52% of the snaps and finished with 85 catches for 1,045 yards coming off an ACL. Where we going?"
Many NFL players commented, trying to get Diggs to sign with their respective teams. One of those players was Jaylinn Hawkins, who left the Patriots for the Baltimore Ravens this offseason. Hawkins spent the last two seasons with the Patriots, but broke out as a star last season.
"Come to Bmore though Cuzzo," Hawkins commented.
He started 15 regular-season games and all four playoff games. He led the team in interceptions and had the best year of his career. He signed a two-year, $10 million deal with the Ravens. The Ravens could use some help at wide receiver, and Diggs could be a great addition.
The Ravens are led by Lamar Jackson, but he has not had the best receivers to throw to in his time as the quarterback. Zay Flowers was a Pro Bowler and had over 1,200 yards last season, but the team's next leading receiver was Mark Andrews, who had under 500 yards. DeAndre Hopkins, who is 33, was third on the team in receiving yards.
Diggs was a 1,000-yard receiver last season. He just played with an MVP-caliber quarterback and could play with another in Jackson. Diggs and Flowers could end up being an elite duo in Baltimore. The Ravens are expected to be one of the contenders in the AFC next season. They could very well stand in the way of the Patriots and another Super Bowl berth, and adding Diggs would only make them better.
