After a long stay in free agency, four-time Pro Bowler wide receiver Stefon Diggs has finally found his next team. Diggs is joining the Commanders, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports. He has agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $12MM, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Although Diggs was the Patriots’ leading receiver in 2025, the first season of a three-year, $69MM contract, they released him a few weeks after their Super Bowl LX loss to the Seahawks. The move saved the Patriots $16.8MM and cleared a path for them to add two pricey new starting receivers in A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs.

In moving on from Diggs, the Pats also avoided a potential 2026 suspension for the 32-year-old. At the time, Diggs was facing strangulation and assault charges over an alleged incident with his former chef. But after a Boston jury acquitted Diggs in May, the NFL announced in June that it did not have enough evidence to hand down punishment.
