Commanders Eyeing Ex-Patriots Star Diggs?
14 Mar
Summary
- Commanders seek a No. 2 receiver after recent signings.
- Stefon Diggs, 32, released by Patriots due to cap hit.
- Diggs tallied 1,000 yards last season despite age.
The Washington Commanders may be looking to bolster their wide receiver corps with a significant signing. Following the re-signings of Treylon Burks and the additions of Van Jefferson and Dyami Brown, the team still requires a more impactful No. 2 receiver to complement their existing depth. Speculation suggests the Commanders are targeting recently released New England Patriots star Stefon Diggs.
Diggs, now 32, was let go by the Patriots primarily for financial reasons, as his contract carried a substantial cap hit in 2026. After contract restructuring talks failed, New England released the veteran wideout. Despite his age, Diggs proved his capability last season by achieving over 1,000 receiving yards.
If Diggs can replicate similar production with the Commanders in 2026, he would form a potent receiving partnership alongside Terry McLaurin. This pairing could provide a crucial boost to the development and performance of quarterback Jayden Daniels, strengthening Washington's offensive potential.
