Stefon Diggs

Free agent WR Stefon Diggs believes that he’s no longer a top option on a team’s receiving corps, but added that he’s as good of a second option as anybody.

“My opinion, I can compete with anybody,” Diggs said, via ESPN. “But take those [top wide receivers] as your 1s, right? You can’t name a No. 2 better than me. There’s not a No. 2 on a team — let’s presumably give people the credit and just say, ‘OK, you want to take the No. 1 spot away. Name your No. 2 receiver right now, and tell me how much he makes, and then my last question is: Is he better than me?”

Diggs is still dealing with a multitude of legal issues, which is possibly why he remains unsigned.

“I brought myself here,” Diggs said. “Unfortunate at times, but I’m blessed. I’m going to be exactly where I’m supposed to be. … I’ll be fine, I know I’ll be fine.”

Roger Goodell

• Mark Maske reports that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to be given a contract extension in the coming months.
• Maske adds that four sources familiar with the situation say the league’s owners want Goodell to oversee the negotiations for new broadcasting deals and a collective bargaining agreement with players that could include an 18-game season.
• His current deal is set to expire in March of 2027, yet the league will hold regular virtual meetings in October and December, which Maske notes could be when he receives an extension, as his last one came in October of 2023.
• However, Maske adds that the league owners will also be holding a special meeting in late August revolving around the sale of the Seahawks.
