The Washington Commanders agreed to terms with wide receiver Stefon Diggs on Wednesday, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
Diggs, who spent last season with the New England Patriots, was seemingly been waiting for the right opportunity to arise after spending the entirety of the offseason unsigned despite finishing with 85 receptions, 1,083 receiving yards, and four touchdowns on his way to an appearance in Super Bowl LX.
Digg's right landing spot ends up being his hometown club, as he returns to the DMV to join an unbalanced wide receiver corps consisting of the likes of Terry McLaurin, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Treylon Burks, and Dyami Brown.

It's a familiar situation for the four-time Pro Bowler.
Diggs was tasked with being the security blanket for Drake Maye in 2025, and will return to that role for Jayden Daniels in 2026 -- though he reportedly will take a pay cut from roughly $20 million to $10 million -- as he fits in nicely as the primary slot receiver alongside big-money free agent addition Chig Okonkwo and McLaurin.
The Commanders couldn't afford not to sign the veteran wide receiver, and finally get the deal done ahead of their first set of joint practices against the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 12 and their second against the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 26 on the road in Owings Mills, Maryland.
