Commanders' defender busy trying to recruit two prominent free agents

Charles Omenihu hasn't been with the Washington Commanders long, but that doesn't mean he's not already trying to help the team get better. On Tuesday, two prominent NFL veterans received good legal news, potentially clearing the way for them to sign with a new team for the 2026 season.

First, there's veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Diggs, 32, just happens to be a DMV native and four-time Pro Bowler. He's also coming off another 1,000-yard season. Diggs was cleared of all charges this week in connection with an alleged incident involving his former personal chef. We discussed the Commanders potentially signing Diggs.

After being cleared, Diggs took to Instagram, and posted the following message:

This is not an opinion-based sport, so here are the numbers. I played 52% of the snaps and finished with 85 catches for 1,045 yards coming off an ACL.

Several NFL players weighed in, including Omenihu, who was recruiting Diggs to the Commanders.

All offseason, there has been talk about how much help Washington needs at receiver. The Commanders made a play for free agents Alec Pierce and Romeo Doubs before eventually bringing back and adding veteran . Washington then spent a third-round pick on wide receiver . remains connected to the Commanders, but he remains with the 49ers and it's uncertain when he'll be free.
