Diggs' Next Stop? Chiefs, Commanders Lead Chase
18 May
Summary
- Stefon Diggs remains unsigned, with Kansas City and Washington leading potential landing spots.
- He is expected to sign a one-year deal potentially worth $10 million.
- An NFL personal conduct investigation could impact Diggs' availability due to a possible suspension.
Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, 32, has yet to sign with a team as free agency continues past the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders are reportedly the two most logical landing spots for the receiver. Albert Breer also noted the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams as teams to watch.
Diggs was released by the New England Patriots earlier this offseason due to salary-cap constraints. He is anticipated to sign a one-year contract valued at approximately $10 million. The prediction market currently favors Washington, a destination that holds personal significance for Diggs as he grew up in the D.C. area.
Washington's offense could see a significant boost by adding Diggs to a receiving corps that includes Terry McLaurin, potentially forming a dynamic trio with quarterback Jayden Daniels. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have lacked a consistent No. 1 receiver since trading Tyreek Hill, and adding Diggs would provide an immediate impact to their passing game.
A potential reunion with the Patriots is considered unlikely, especially if New England finalizes a trade for A.J. Brown. Complicating matters further, an NFL personal conduct investigation involving Diggs remains open, which could result in a suspension regardless of his new team.
