NFL Closes Stefon Diggs Review After $69 Million Receiver Cleared in Assault Case

Summary
The NFL ended its personal conduct review of free-agent receiver Stefon Diggs after finding insufficient evidence of a policy violation, according to a league official.
That decision followed Diggs' May acquittal in Massachusetts on felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges tied to a Dec. 2 dispute with his former live-in chef at his Dedham home.
The closure removes a key off-field obstacle for Diggs, who was released by New England in March after signing a three-year, $69 million deal last year.
Diggs, 32, is now positioned to pursue a return with another team after a 1,000-yard season that marked the seventh of his career.
