Stefon Diggs responds to Washington DE about playing for Commanders

It's been a good week for veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs. On Tuesday, Diggs was cleared of all criminal charges in a case where he was accused of assault in a case involving his former personal chef. Now, the four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver can focus solely on playing his 12th NFL season in 2026.

The Washington Commanders were immediately named a potential landing spot for Diggs. It made sense. Diggs is a native of Montgomery County, Maryland, having played collegiately at the University of Maryland. The Commanders need another starting receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. While much of this offseason has been centered around Brandon Aiyuk eventually landing in Washington, he remains under contract with the San Francisco 49ers.

Diggs caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns last season for the AFC champion New England Patriots. He proved he can still play. New Commanders defensive end Charles Omenihu quickly went to work recruiting Diggs to Washington. Diggs posted his stats from last season on Instagram this week, asking his followers: "Where we going?"

Several NFL players responded, so did Omenihu: "Burgundy & gold," he wrote.
