Stefon Diggs has officially settled into a new team.
The dynamic wide receiver, known for his two-time All-Pro status, has inked a deal with the Washington Commanders, based on reports from various sources.
Diggs’ contract is a one-year arrangement potentially worth up to $12 million. At 32, he was the most coveted wide receiver still available in free agency as NFL training camps get underway.
Washington’s quarterback, Jayden Daniels, will now have a new game-changer on his roster.
This move marks a homecoming for Diggs, who originally hails from Gaithersburg within the DC metropolitan area and grew up in Maryland.
Diggs will pair with Terry McLaurin in Washington as he comes off a 1,000-yard season with the Patriots.
New England released Diggs in March and head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed the team was not exploring a reunion with the veteran.
The Patriots instead traded for AJ Brown over the offseason to give Drake Maye a new No. 1 receiver.
“I don’t think that that’s something that, you know, that we are exploring, but I would never say no,” Vrabel said.
Diggs spent the bulk of his career with the Vikings and Bills before single-season stints with the Texans and Patriots.
Diggs was a critical piece of New England’s run to Super Bowl 2026. He led the Patriots with 85 receptions and 1,013 receiving yards last season. He became the Patriots’ first 1,000-yard receiver since Julian Edelman in 2019.
Diggs has seen legal troubles in recent years. He’s been embroiled in a battle with Christopher Blake Griffith, who accused Diggs of drugging and sexually assaulting him in 2023. Diggs was also recently acquitted on assault charges in a separate case involving his former personal chef.
