The uncertainty surrounding Stefon Diggs appears to be fading, and attention is quickly shifting back to his football future. After the NFL concluded its review and determined there was insufficient evidence to support a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy, the veteran wide receiver is once again becoming a talking point in roster discussions across the league.
One destination that has generated fresh buzz is the Los Angeles Rams. While the team has not publicly expressed interest in adding another star receiver, Rams legend Jim Everett made it clear where he stands. The former quarterback openly endorsed the idea of bringing Diggs to Los Angeles, creating fresh speculation about whether Sean McVay's offense could be an ideal landing spot for the veteran playmaker.
Jim Everett publicly endorses Stefon Diggs for the Los Angeles Rams
Few figures carry more weight in Rams history than Jim Everett, which is why his comments immediately caught the attention of fans. Shortly after the NFL's review of Stefon Diggs concluded, Everett shared his thoughts on social media. Responding to growing discussion about the wide receiver's next destination, the Rams legend wrote, “Let's Digg it. Who says no?” Everett captioned a digitally altered image of the wideout in LA colours that he posted on X, adding in a follow-up post that “Les [Snead] ain’t a chef, but he’s cook’n!”
In a follow-up post, he suggested confidence in Rams general manager Les Snead's ability to evaluate the situation, further fueling conversation about a potential move. The post quickly sparked debate among Rams fans. Some pointed to the team's already crowded receiver room, while others embraced the possibility of adding another proven veteran to a roster with postseason aspirations.
Although Everett's comments do not indicate any actual negotiations between the Los Angeles Rams and Stefon Diggs, they represent one of the strongest public endorsements the receiver has received since the league completed its review. For a player whose future suddenly became a major topic around the NFL, support from a franchise icon only amplified the conversation.
Stefon Diggs' performance suggests he can still help a contender
From a football standpoint, the argument for signing Diggs is easy to understand. Despite entering the later stages of his career, the veteran remained productive with the New England Patriots. He finished the season with 85 receptions, 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns while serving as one of the focal points of the offense. His experience, route-running ability and reliability in critical situations continued to make him a valuable target. Diggs also played a significant role in helping New England reach the Super Bowl, proving he can still contribute on a team competing for championships.
For the Rams, adding a player of that caliber would create one of the NFL's deepest receiving groups. Defenses already face the challenge of accounting for Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Introducing Diggs into that equation would give quarterback Matthew Stafford another proven weapon capable of creating separation and moving the chains. His versatility could also fit naturally into Sean McVay's offensive system, where receivers are often asked to line up across multiple positions and win in different situations.
Los Angeles Rams may prefer its younger options
The biggest obstacle to a potential signing may not be money or fit. It may be an opportunity. The Rams already possess a talented receiver room, and several younger players are fighting for larger roles. Jordan Whittington has emerged as a strong candidate for the No. 3 receiver spot, while CJ Daniels, Konata Mumpfield and Xavier Smith are also looking to earn meaningful snaps. Investing playing time in those developing players could be more appealing than adding another veteran, particularly if the coaching staff believes the group is ready for expanded responsibilities.
That reality makes a Diggs-to-Los Angeles move far from certain. Still, Everett's endorsement has ensured the idea remains part of the conversation. With the NFL review now behind him and his production showing he can still perform at a high level, Diggs is once again being discussed as a player capable of helping a contender. Whether the Rams ultimately pursue that opportunity remains one of the more intriguing questions surrounding the veteran receiver's next chapter.
