Overview
- The Commanders, which have training camp underway Monday, are actively monitoring free agent Stefon Diggs and list him as their top external player of interest.
- No deal has been signed and coaches are keeping the No. 2 role open while multiple players compete for snaps and roster spots.
- Internal candidates include rookie Antonio Williams and past draft choices Jaylin Lane and Luke McCaffrey alongside veterans Treylon Burks, Dyami Brown and Van Jefferson.
- Diggs appeals because he has produced seven 1,000-yard seasons and has local Maryland ties, making a one-year, incentive-heavy deal a realistic possibility.
- Brandon Aiyuk remains on the 49ers and his recent social-media conduct and uncertain status make him a less viable immediate option, so Washington’s final move will likely wait until late in the preseason or until injuries force a decision.
