The Stefon Diggs era with the Patriots appears to be coming to an end. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday that New England is expected to release Diggs at the start of the new league year on March 11.

With Diggs entering the free agent market, several teams may be eager to sign him, and one of those could be a squad capable of competing with the Patriots in the playoffs.

CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo believes that the Baltimore Ravens might be a potential landing spot for Diggs.

"It's no secret Baltimore hasn't done a great job getting Lamar Jackson help at receiver," DeArdo wrote on Wednesday. "While he's no longer an elite player, Diggs would be an upgrade over what the Ravens currently project to have in their starting lineup alongside Pro Bowler Zay Flowers. Baltimore makes even more sense when you consider that two of its key backup wideouts -- DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace -- are slated to become free agents."

The Ravens would be an excellent landing spot for Diggs and could provide a solid option for Jackson to throw to.

Diggs has already helped quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Drake Maye elevate their games, and he might just be the key for Jackson to break through to the Super Bowl.
