Harmon points to Stefon Diggs as a historical precedent for aging WR role adjustment: after declining as a perimeter/downfield receiver in Buffalo post-2023, Diggs required a role change to age gracefully; with Houston and New England, he shifted to slot/Z-based usage with shorter average depth of target and shorter route tree, demonstrating how elite technicians can sustain production through role modification rather than maintaining peak vertical/perimeter usage.

you can look at like Stefon Diggs who this team had in the building last year... he had declined specifically as a perimeter receiver and a downfield option. He would need a role change in order to age gracefully because he's an elite technician. That is what happened. He was a slot receiver Z based guy in Houston and then he was a kind of a slot Z based guy, shorter average depth of target, shorter route tree with the Patriots last year.
