Diggs arraignment postponed until after the Super Bowl
Stefon Diggs denies assault allegations amid a paycheck dispute; arraignment delayed to Feb. 23, allowing participation in Patriots' potential AFC Championship game.
- The court docket now lists Diggs's arraignment for Feb. 23, replacing the Jan. 23 date, with charges including felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault, court documents show.
- Charging documents say the alleged incident occurred on Dec. 2, 2025 at a Dedham residence during a paycheck dispute with a private chef.
- Court filings describe that Diggs tried to choke the woman with his elbow, she had trouble breathing, and he threw her onto the bed as she tried to pry his arm away.
- The one-month delay preserves Diggs's availability for the Jan. 25 AFC Championship, clearing the way for the Patriots' leading receiver Diggs to contribute if they advance.
- David Meier says Diggs categorically denies the claims and calls them a financial dispute, while the New England Patriots support him and the NFL spokesperson says no discipline is planned.
