The New England Patriots' decision to release wide receiver Stefon Diggs shouldn't come as much of a shock. However, the move undeniably creates a massive void at an area of weakness, leaving the reigning AFC champions in a tough spot.
It's no secret the Patriots already needed to bring in at least one viable wideout this offseason. Yet, addressing the position properly suddenly vaults to the top of their offseason to-do list following Diggs' unceremonious exit.
Philadelphia Eagles star A.J. Brown has been Patriots fans' dream acquisition, especially because of his strong connection to the club's head coach, Mike Vrabel.
