Stefon Diggs is still looking for his next NFL team with the 2026 season approaching.
Diggs enjoyed a productive season with the New England Patriots in 2025, helping the team reach the Super Bowl. However, they chose not to bring the veteran receiver back for another year, leaving him on the open market heading into August.
Thanks for the submission!
One team to watch is the Washington Commanders. In a report published on Tuesday, ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler said Diggs is on Washington’s radar and that the interest appears to be mutual.

Fowler noted that Diggs, a native of the Washington area, likes the possibility of returning home.

“The Commanders are still in see-what-we-have mode at receiver, but I’m told free agent Stefon Diggs is on the team’s radar,” the article read. “Washington is monitoring the situation with Diggs, who’s intrigued by the chance to play in Washington (he’s from the area).
“Let’s see how things play out, but it seems like this is a realistic option as the sides keep in contact.”
During his one year in New England, Diggs started every game and emerged as Drake Maye’s preferred target. He finished the regular season with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, then added 14 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown in the playoffs.
A move to Washington would likely position Diggs as the team’s No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin. Given his recent production, he stands out as one of the most appealing veteran receivers still on the market, even with names such as Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen and DeAndre Hopkins also available.

Bills also leaving the door open for a potential Stefon Diggs reunion
Stefon Diggs was impressive in his four-year run with the Buffalo Bills, catching 445 passes for 5,372 yards and 37 touchdowns before being traded to the Houston Texans ahead of the 2024 season.
Speculation about a return to Buffalo has surfaced this week, and head coach Joe Brady’s latest comments have only fueled that conversation. Appearing on “Up & Adams” on Saturday, Brady credited Diggs with helping transform the team’s offense and also helping QB Josh Allen’s growth into an elite quarterback.
“Stef was awesome for us here. I mean, look, Stef, the success that he had in Buffalo, like part of the offense that I’m running and we’re continuing to elevate, it was him coming here and what he was able to do with our offense to continue to get us to this point. Josh wouldn’t have continued to elevate the career that he had without a guy like Stefon Diggs.
“I don’t know anything (about Diggs returning). I know (Brandon) Beane’s always with the mindset that we’re always out there and rolling,” Brady said.
The Bills have received encouraging early-camp performances from D.J. Moore and rookie Skyler Bell, but Diggs’ track record makes him difficult to ignore as one of the top free agents still available.
