Former Washington WR believes Stefon Diggs will be a Commander in 2026

A former Washington receiver really believes veteran wideout Stefon Diggs will finish his career with the Commanders.

Pierre Garcon spent his first four seasons with the Colts (2008-2011) before wearing the Burgundy and Gold from 2012 through 2016. In his last two seasons in the NFL, he was with the 49ers (2017-2018). He spoke with "Grant & Danny" of 106.7 The Fan briefly on Wednesday

Garcon said he still likes what he sees out of Diggs and believes it would be a good thing for both Diggs and the Commanders if Diggs were to come to play in Washington. "He brings a lot of energy on the field," expressed Garcon.

Garcon spoke of how Diggs can still be such a threat to a defense. Despite the fact that Diggs appears to burn bridges and wear out his welcome, Garcon believes Diggs would bring leadership to the Commanders. "He has the leadership. He wants to be here, and that is one of the great things about it; he's hungry, it's a perfect fit."

Pointing to the New England turnaround in 2025, which saw them win the AFC championship, Garcon said, "He's a major reason the Patriots went to the Super Bowl." It's true that Diggs had a very good year, as he collected 85 catches. Garcon sees that Diggs needs a good place, and Washington needs a productive receiver. "It would be a good idea for both sides."

Garcon had tweeted about Diggs coming to Washington on Tuesday, but when asked if he actually had any intel, he did quickly admit, "No I don't have any insights, I don't know him personally." Yet as an observer of the NFL and former NFL receiver, Garcon spoke confidently, "I believe this will happen."
