NFL Closes Stefon Diggs Investigation With No Discipline Issued

Free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs has cleared another hurdle in his effort to continue his NFL career, as the league has officially concluded its review into allegations surrounding an incident involving his former personal chef.

According to multiple reports, the NFL informed Diggs on Friday that it found insufficient evidence to establish a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy. As a result, no disciplinary action will be taken against the veteran receiver.

The decision follows Diggs’ acquittal in May after a Massachusetts jury found him not guilty of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges.

League Investigation Ends Without Punishment

Although players can still face NFL discipline even after the court clears them, the league’s independent review ultimately reached the same conclusion in Stefon Diggs’ case.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed that the investigation had been closed after officials determined there was not enough evidence to support a personal conduct policy violation.

The case stemmed from an alleged altercation that occurred on Dec. 2 at Diggs’ home in Dedham, Massachusetts. Jamila Adams, a former live-in chef who worked for the receiver, accused him of slapping and choking her during an argument.

Diggs consistently denied the allegations, and his legal team maintained that the dispute centered around personal and financial disagreements rather than any physical assault.

Following the jury’s verdict, attorney Mitch Schuster said the case demonstrated how professional athletes can become targets once they step away from the field.

Free Agent Market Could Reopen for Veteran Receiver

The NFL’s ruling removes another obstacle for Diggs as he searches for his next opportunity. The New England Patriots released the 32-year-old in March after one season with the organization.

Despite the off-field uncertainty, Diggs remained productive in 2025. He recorded 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, marking the seventh 1,000-yard season of his career.

The campaign represented a strong bounce-back effort after a major knee injury cut short his lone season with the Houston Texans in 2024.

Decorated Career Continues Into Free Agency

Originally selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Diggs developed into one of the league’s most productive receivers. He later enjoyed four Pro Bowl seasons with the Buffalo Bills before spending time with Houston and New England.

Over 11 NFL seasons, Diggs has accumulated 942 receptions, 11,504 receiving yards and 74 touchdowns while establishing himself as one of the most consistent pass catchers of his era.

Now free of both legal proceedings and league discipline, the veteran wideout could attract renewed interest from teams looking to add experience and proven production to their receiving corps ahead of the 2026 season.
