Stefon Diggs Yacht video with women raises questions: Did Patriots just buy trouble for $69 million?

Stefon Diggs was supposed to be the Patriots’ new offensive cornerstone—a $69 million investment in leadership and production. But just months after joining New England, he’s already at the center of controversy.

A viral yacht video showing Diggs handing a small bag to a woman has stirred speculation and concern, casting a shadow over what was meant to be a fresh start for the veteran receiver.

Patriots face early challenges as Stefon Diggs’ Yacht video sparks speculation

A viral video of Stefon Diggs partying on a yacht is making waves across social media, showing the Patriots’ wide receiver handing a small bag, contents unknown to a woman. While there’s been no confirmation of wrongdoing, the clip has triggered widespread speculation, putting New England's newest $69 million investment under the microscope.The timing couldn’t be worse. Diggs has opted out of the latest round of Patriots OTAs, despite showing up for earlier voluntary workouts. His absence paired with the video has reignited concerns about his offseason focus, especially as he continues recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 last season while playing for the Houston Texans.

Head coach Mike Vrabel was quick to address the growing buzz, though he remained measured in his words: “We want our players to make great decisions on and off the field.”

"Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I." His statement confirmed the Patriots are fully aware of the controversy but are handling it quietly for now.This isn’t the only headline Diggs has made lately. He was recently spotted courtside with Cardi B at the NBA Eastern Conference Finals and seen attending various high-profile events. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with enjoying the offseason, fans and analysts are questioning whether this level of visibility and the nature of the viral video is becoming a distraction.Also Read: Christian McCaffrey’s 2023 overuse, Achilles and Knee injuries raise red flags for 49ers in 2025The Patriots didn’t sign Diggs just for his on-field production, they brought him in to mentor rookie quarterback Drake Maye and help reshape a struggling offense. But now, the conversation is shifting from football to optics. With training camp approaching in July, Stefon Diggs has little time to change the narrative. The Patriots’ front office is watching closely and so is the rest of the NFL.
