A seasoned veteran, Diggs has been a Pro Bowl selection four times in his career and earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2020 after leading the NFL in receptions and receiving yards.
While the Chiefs missed their chance to sign Diggs, fans should expect Kansas City's front office to continue monitoring the free agent market as the team prepares for its first preseason exhibition against the Los Angeles Rams on August 15.
