Overview
- The Commanders formally announced Diggs’ one-year contract on Friday after he passed a physical and joined the team at training camp for his first practice.
- Multiple outlets reported the deal can pay Diggs up to $12 million, with guarantees reported above $10 million, reflecting an incentive‑heavy, short-term structure.
- Diggs is expected to start as Washington’s No. 2 receiver opposite Terry McLaurin, supplying veteran production, route savvy and leadership for third‑year quarterback Jayden Daniels.
- Teams including the Chiefs, Dolphins and Raiders showed interest before Washington secured Diggs, and the move ends Washington’s public pursuit of other receiver options this summer.
- Diggs was acquitted of criminal assault in May and cleared by the NFL, removing major obstacles to signing, though separate civil cases remain pending.
