Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that four‑time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs agreed to a one‑year contract with the Washington Commanders worth up to $12 million.
- Diggs is expected to line up as the No. 2 receiver opposite Terry McLaurin and provide a veteran target for third‑year quarterback Jayden Daniels.
- The signing follows Diggs’ 2025 season with the New England Patriots, when he caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while returning from a torn ACL.
- Diggs was acquitted in May on criminal charges and the NFL completed a personal‑conduct review in June that did not lead to discipline, removing those barriers to his signing.
- The addition reduces Washington’s pursuit of Brandon Aiyuk, reshapes the competition for the No. 3 receiver job, and gives the team a low‑risk veteran option to watch during the preseason.
