It's been a drama-filled week for the New England Patriots when it comes to Stefon Diggs and his boat situation, but things may become a little clearer now after this latest development.
Diggs was spotted at the Patriots' voluntary OTAs, and though he may not be able to put all this stuff to the side right now, it's good to see him out with the team through all the noise.
The new Patriots receiver went viral after talking to a few women on a boat during Memorial Day Weekend. Nothing was wrong with that interaction, until Diggs handed one of the girls a small pouch, and it's not certain what it contained. It has caused the team to answer questions, and the league may also get involved.
Head coach Mike Vrabel spoke about the situation when it first came out, and he wanted to keep those conversations between him, Diggs, and the organization.

Some people are really thinking about scenarios where the Patriots could cut Diggs, but it hasn't gotten to that point yet. What it may come down to is if Diggs told the Patriots the truth, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated.
“Did he tell Mike Vrabel the truth? Will the Patriots find what Stefon Diggs said to be credible and truthful? And remember, Mike Vrabel isn't going to be naive about any of this. He's been around NFL locker rooms for almost 30 years now,” Breer said on his podcast.
It will be interesting to see how the Patriots handle this situation, and many will also want to know if Diggs will ever come out and say something about it.
