Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the Washington Commanders will sign four-time Pro Bowl receiver Stefon Diggs to a one-year contract commonly described as worth up to $12 million, though at least one report cited $10 million.
- The move is meant to give third-year quarterback Jayden Daniels a reliable secondary target opposite Terry McLaurin and immediately upgrades a receiver room that lacked a clear No. 2.
- Diggs was acquitted in May of criminal charges related to an incident with his former private chef and the NFL said in June it would not discipline him after a review, developments that removed major obstacles to teams signing him.
- Reports say the Diggs addition makes Washington’s interest in San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk far less likely because the Commanders have filled their pressing receiver need.
- Diggs returns to the DMV after a 2025 season in which he recorded 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, and the short, incentive‑heavy one-year deal reflects the training-camp market for veteran receivers and Washington’s cap-management approach.
