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.
Stefon Diggs faced charges related to an incident involving his former personal chef but was cleared of all charges this week.

If Washington is still determined to add a receiver, Diggs makes a ton of sense on a one-year deal.
While Diggs has never played with Omenihu, both are longtime NFL veterans who share a mutual respect.
The other veteran free agent, cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, has played with Omenihu. Both were with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023. Sneed also received good legal news this week. He's a recent free agent after the Tennessee Titans released him after two seasons, during which he played only 12 games due to injuries. Omenihu shared the Sneed news on his Instagram.
Charles Omenihu on Sneed
Washington still needs cornerback help, too. Sneed, like Diggs, would make sense on a one-year deal.
The Commanders seemed inclined to wait out the Aiyuk situation, much like the 49ers are inclined to keep him on their roster, even though they've said he will not play for them again. With Diggs and/or Creed, there'd be no waiting, as both are free to sign immediately.
Omenihu signed a one-year deal with Washington in March.
