Overview
- The Commanders signed Stefon Diggs this week to a short-term, incentive-heavy contract and he has already begun practicing at training camp in Ashburn.
- Quarterback Jayden Daniels praised Diggs’s route-running, hands and football IQ after early practices, saying the two are already on the same page.
- Diggs told reporters he still believes he can play at a high level at 32 and credited coach Josh McDaniels for teaching him route concepts that helped his 2025 rebound.
- Observers note the move addresses Washington’s need for a reliable perimeter target following Deebo Samuel’s departure, but the one-year nature of the deal leaves questions about Diggs’s long-term role and fit behind Terry McLaurin.
- Diggs comes off a 2025 season in which he returned from a torn ACL to play all 17 games and record 85 catches for 1,013 yards, a track record the Commanders hope translates into immediate production and leadership.
