conduct policy
NFL says no discipline for Stefon Diggs under its personal conduct policy

Stefon Diggs won't be facing any discipline from the NFL after a league review
determined that there wasn't enough evidence to punish him under its personal
conduct policy.
"The league notified Stefon Diggs today that it concluded its investigation and
there is insufficient evidence to support a finding of a personal conduct
policy violation," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in statement to The
Associated Press.
ESPN was first to report the league's finding.
Diggs was found not guilty last month of assaulting his personal chef. The
charges stemmed from a Dec. 2 incident at his house in Massachusetts where
Jamila Adams, a former live-in personal chef, testified that Diggs slapped and
choked her during an argument. He had pleaded not guilty to a felony
strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault and battery charge. The jury
deliberated for less than two hours before clearing Diggs of all charges.
Diggs spent last season with the New England Patriots, helping them reach the
Super Bowl, where they lost to Seattle. He was released in March and remains
unsigned.
Several NFL players, including Ben Roethlisberger, Jameis Winston and Ezekiel
Elliott, have been suspended for violating the personal conduct policy despite
not being arrested or charged with a crime.
Diggs led New England with 85 receptions and 1,013 yards receiving with four
touchdowns in his only season with the team. He was the go-to option for Drake
Maye, who finished runner-up to Matthew Stafford for the AP NFL MVP award.
Diggs, who turns 33 on Nov. 29, has played for three teams in the past three
seasons. He began his career in Minnesota in 2015 and went from fifth-round
pick to No. 1 receiver in five seasons with the Vikings.
He was traded to Buffalo for a first-round pick in 2020 and had an All-Pro
season that year. Diggs spent four seasons with the Bills. He played for the
Texans in 2024.
