Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs posted a YouTube video of his training ahead of the 2026 NFL season.The 32-year-old veteran said in the video that he can compete with anybody.“But take those as your WR1s, right? You can’t name a better WR2 than me,” Diggs said.“There’s not a WR2 on a team. Let’s presumably give people the credit and just say, ‘Okay, you want to take the WR1 spot away?Name your WR2 right now and tell me how much he makes.’ And then my last question is, ‘Is he better than me?’”The Maryland native openly challenged that there wasn’t a WR2 better than him.But he was WR1 in the New England Patriots, where he caught 85 passes on 100 targets for 1,013 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns in 2025.He even secured an overall 87.5 PFF grade for that season, ranking him 6th among 81 qualified receivers.All this elite performance after he recovered from a brutal 2024 ACL tear. Imagine what he could do in 2026! We can only hope the best team signs him.For now, according to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, five NFL teams are actively looking closely at him. Two are the Washington Commanders and the Baltimore Ravens.But there’s a new team that’s only recently been heavily linked: Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks linked to Stefon Diggs in 2026 NFL free agency
The Seattle Seahawks franchise was recently sold by The Paul Allen Trust to Khosla Ventures owner Vinod Khosla for $9 billion.Anyhow, the team could be looking for elite players after they lost Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs.Yes, he’s a running back. But they could need powerhouse performers on the team. Especially behind WR1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba.And with Stefon Diggs’ recent comments suggesting there’s nobody better as a WR2 than him, we could easily join the dots. In fact, one did.Seahawks Today by Chat Sports host Will Ortner suggests Stefon Diggs for Sam Darnold’s team, the Seattle Seahawks.Why? Diggs is ready to embrace the WR2 role. He could play behind WR1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba.Smith-Njigba signed a massive contract worth a 4-year, $168 million extension with $120 million in guaranteed money in March 2026.
Stefon Diggs is better than Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, and Tory Horton for WR2 role
Chat Sports host Will Ortner further said that the former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has consistently performed productively and posted 1000-plus yards.Except for the ACL-shortened 2024 season, when he posted 47 receptions for 496 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns with 3 carries for 8 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown in 8 games playing for the Houston Texans with CJ Stroud.Chat Sports host Will Ortner suggests Jaxon Smith-Njigba is stronger than Stefon Diggs, but Diggs is stronger than other Seattle Seahawks wide receiver options like Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, and Tory Horton.Rashid Shaheed recorded 59 receptions on 89 targets for 687 yards and 2 touchdowns playing for the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks in his 2025 campaign.Cooper Kupp recorded 47 receptions for 593 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2025. Tory Horton recorded 13 receptions for 161 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2025.Diggs is statistically better than these three Seahawks players for WR2, but Chat Sports host Will Ortner suggests Seattle should not pursue him.

Diggs was actively seen motivating all the players of the New England Patriots during the 2025 season.His loud and continuous motivation led his team to the Super Bowl.Though, they did not win it against the Seattle Seahawks. That’s not the point. He was heavily praised by the Patriots players in 2025.“Anytime you have a guy that’s had a ton of success in the past, it’s always unique to see how they’re going to come in, and the dynamic.Diggs has been awesome,” Joshua Dobbs said in Nov. 2025. “The leadership he’s taken with the team. The selfless approach he’s taken.Then also the communication he has, he’s asking great questions, he’s locked in on the defense, to make sure he’s in the right spot for us to get him the football.He’s obviously done that throughout his career very well.
