📍 How it ended
The NFL concluded its investigation into Stefon Diggs without imposing discipline, citing insufficient evidence to support a violation of its personal conduct policy. Coverage shifted to speculation about his free-agent future, with teams like the Commanders and Ravens considered potential landing spots.
The story quieted after the league’s decision, with no further updates on the case.
Epilogue added 132d ago, after coverage quieted.
The brief
Coverage notes that Diggs was previously found not guilty of assault and strangulation charges in a criminal case involving a former chef, though the NFL’s decision does not address the legal outcome. Reports from *ProFootballRumors.com*, *ESPN*, *NBC Sports*, *Yahoo Sports*, and *News4JAX* uniformly confirm the NFL’s announcement, framing it as a closure of the review without further comment on the specifics.
Future scrutiny may focus on whether the NFL’s policy will be applied differently in similar off-field cases, particularly if new allegations arise or legal proceedings unfold in other player investigations.

No. The NFL’s ruling is separate from the criminal case, in which Diggs was previously found not guilty of assault and strangulation.
