Overview
- NFL Network reporting that Deebo Samuel agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers on Friday has reopened Washington’s search for an outside playmaker.
- Multiple outlets say the Commanders are actively monitoring Stefon Diggs and view him as their top target to pair with Terry McLaurin.
- Diggs produced 85 catches for 1,013 yards in 2025 and has said he would be willing to play for his hometown team, but his recent not-guilty plea on battery charges has left some teams cautious.
- Reports indicate at least five teams have shown interest in Diggs, and Washington’s first-day camp injury to Treylon Burks has added urgency to their pursuit.
- Tyreek Hill’s recovery from a season-ending knee injury is trending toward a midseason return, which keeps teams focused on short, incentive-heavy or late-window deals for veteran receivers.
