Stefon Diggs cleared of assault as NFL reviews his future amid Cardi B rumors
NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been cleared of assault charges after a court ruling this week. The case involved his former personal chef, but a jury found him not guilty on all counts. Meanwhile, speculation about his personal life has grown after a public appearance with rapper Cardi B. Diggs faced felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges in connection with an incident involving his chef. A jury dismissed the case, leaving him legally cleared of wrongdoing. However, the NFL is still reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy.
His relationship with Cardi B has drawn attention in recent months. The couple, who share a child, reportedly split around February’s Super Bowl. Cardi B unfollowed Diggs on social media shortly after. But last weekend, they were seen together at a Mother’s Day event in Washington DC, hosted by Diggs’ charity, the Diggs Deep Foundation. The appearance has fuelled rumours of a possible reconciliation.
On the field, Diggs became a free agent in March after the New England Patriots released him. Despite a strong season, the team opted to part ways. The NFL’s 2026 schedule, which will include Diggs’ next team, is set to be announced later this week. With the legal case behind him, Diggs now awaits the NFL’s decision on any potential disciplinary action. His future in the league remains uncertain as he explores options as a free agent. The upcoming schedule release will clarify where he might play next season.
