Stefon Diggs signs with Washington Commanders

Overview

Stefon Diggs signed a one‑year, up‑to-$12 million contract with the Washington Commanders on Aug 4, 2026, becoming the team’s No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin. The 32‑year‑old, released by New England in March after a 2025 season with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, chose Washington to be near his Maryland hometown. After his May acquittal on felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges, the NFL found insufficient evidence for a personal‑conduct violation, so he faces no suspension.

The deal adds a veteran target for quarterback Jayden Daniels and bolsters a receiving corps that already includes Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey, and Dyami Brown. General manager Adam Peters called Diggs the team’s top priority at receiver. Following the public announcement on Aug 6, head coach Dan Quinn highlighted Diggs’s leadership and elite route-running, noting that his presence would provide a competitive advantage for defensive backs during training camp.

During his first media session with the team, Diggs expressed high confidence in his ability to compete, stating that while he might say he is the second-best in the league on camera, he believes he is “number one in his heart.” He noted that his presence should make it difficult for defenses to double-team other players in the Washington offense. While some analysts have raised questions regarding Diggs' recent injury history and his frequent team transitions, Diggs remains a focal point of the offense alongside McLaurin.
