Overview
- The NFL ended its personal conduct investigation into Stefon Diggs after a jury acquitted him of strangulation and assault, removing the main off-field barrier to employment.
- Diggs has been an unsigned free agent since the New England Patriots released him in March and the team appears unlikely to re-sign him.
- The wide receiver finished 2025 with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, a recent performance that keeps him attractive to contenders despite being 32.
- Multiple teams — including the Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams — are being linked to Diggs, creating a competitive market for a likely short-term veteran deal.
- Diggs has publicly expressed interest in a Washington homecoming and the Commanders have roster need and cap space to pursue a short contract that would pair him with Terry McLaurin.
