Veteran reportedly agrees to deal worth up to $12m

>Wideout joins Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin

>Diggs cleared by court and NFL after allegations

>The Washington Commanders are set to sign four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs, multiple ⁠outlets reported on Wednesday.

>Diggs, 32, played last season with the New England Patriots and ⁠posted his seventh 1,000-yard ⁠campaign in ​the past eight years.

>ESPN reported Diggs is getting a one-year deal with the Commanders worth ⁠up to $12m with incentives.

>New England released Diggs on 4 March after he played one season ⁠on a three-year, $63.5m contract.

>On 5 May, Diggs was acquitted ​by a jury in Dedham (Massaschusetts) ‌district court of strangling ‌or assaulting his private chef in an alleged incident from December.

>The ‌following month, the NFL reportedly determined that there was insufficient evidence of any violations by Diggs of the league’s personal conduct policy. That means he is not facing a suspension for the 2026 season.

>Returning from a torn ACL, Diggs caught 85 ‌passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games last season. He added 110 yards and ​a touchdown on 14 receptions over four playoff games as the Patriots reached Super Bowl LX, losing 29-13 to the Seattle Seahawks.

>The Maryland product was a four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Buffalo ⁠Bills from 2020-23.

>Diggs played five seasons for the Minnesota Vikings (2015-19) ​before joining the ​Bills. He also played for ​the Houston Texans in 2024 before signing with the ​Patriots and ‌has 942 catches ​for 11,504 ​yards and 74 touchdowns in 161 regular-season games (153 starts).

>Diggs would provide a quarterback-friendly target for third-year Commanders star Jayden Daniels, whose current wide receivers include veteran Terry McLaurin, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown.
