Stefon Diggs will not face any discipline from the NFL after a review found insufficient evidence to punish him under its personal conduct policy. The NFL informed Diggs of its decision following an investigation into allegations that he assaulted his personal chef, Jamila Adams, during an incident in December. Diggs was previously found not guilty of the charges, which included felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault. Despite his legal troubles, Diggs had a successful season with the New England Patriots, leading the team in receptions and yards. However, he was released in March and is currently unsigned. This case highlights the complexities of the NFL’s personal conduct policy, which has led to suspensions for other players even without criminal charges. Diggs, who has played for multiple teams, began his career with the Minnesota Vikings and had a standout season with the Buffalo Bills in 2020.
