Stefon Diggs Signs With Commanders, Giving Washington a Dynamic New Offensive Weapon.

Washington, DC - In one of the biggest signings of the offseason the Washington Commanders have signed veteran wide receiver and Maryland native Stefon Diggs to a one-year deal worth up to $12 million adding one of the NFL’s most accomplished playmakers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The four-time Pro Bowler receiver, is a proven commodity that was much needed for a mostly unproven receiver group. Diggs is expected to immediately become a focal point of Washington’s passing attack. "We’re excited to welcome Stefon Diggs to Washington," the team said in a statement. His competitiveness, work ethic and production speak for themselves. He brings the kind of playmaking ability that can change games."

Diggs enters Washington after an impressive 2025 season with the New England Patriots being their leading receiver, and ranked No.1 in the NFL among wide receivers last season in reception percentage, catching 82.5% of his targets. Diggs, 32, will be joining a new team for the third time in three seasons. He gives Washington a strong second option alongside Terry McLaurin, who’s coming off an injury riddled 2025. Washington’s lack of receiver depth was evident in 2025 when McLaurin missed seven games with a quad injury. As the receiver group struggled throughout the season. A similar trend has played out so far early in training camp. Washington previously was monitoring Brandon Aiyuk’s situation with the San Francisco 49ers and, earlier in the offseason had their eyes set on him if he were available. However, the Brandon Aiyuk saga has taken a different turn after a wave of controversial of Instagram posts by Aiyuk. For Diggs, the move represents a fresh start and opportunity to be a major contributor for his hometown team. Training camp will provide the first glimpse of Diggs in a Commanders uniform, as the anticipation is already building. If he can produce at the level he has throughout his career, Washington may have landed one of the offseason’s most impactful acquisitions.
