The Minnesota Vikings, along with the rest of the National Football League, are preparing for the final week of the 2025 regular season . That includes Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills, who unlike his former team, are also getting ready for the start of the playoffs.
On Tuesday, however, the 32-year-old controversial former Viking WR1 — and boyfriend of rap star Cardi B. — officially had felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault charges brought against him in a Boston courtroom.

Very little details of the charges have been made public, as the judge decides whether or not to "impound" the court records of the case.

Former MN Vikings WR Stefon Diggs in court-sealed trouble
Diggs' attorney is arguing that irreparable harm will be brought to the high-profile NFL star's reputation, should the records be released. He is also trying to push Stefon's arraignment –which is currently scheduled for Friday — out to the spring
Meanwhile, according to Local Boston 25 News , both parties are actively trying to come to terms on a financial agreement that would help sweep the charges against Diggs under a rug. The Patriots have released a statement saying "we support Stefon" and that they are awaiting more details
DiStefano also disclosed to the court that Diggs has made a financial offer to resolve the dispute with the alleged victim in this case.
"As we speak, they're working to come to an agreement on that," DiStefano said.
The judge said she'd take the request under advisement and would issue a ruling "shortly." She also agreed to consider a request to extend Diggs' arraignment date to March.
#Patriots statement
