The Washington Commanders have finally checked a major box in their offseason work, reportedly landing Stefon Diggs to give their offense the kind of receiver help it badly needed.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported the move, calling it a signing of the four-time Pro Bowl wideout. ESPN’s Adam Schefter added that Diggs is getting a one-year deal worth up to $12 million.
“BREAKING: The Commanders are signing 4x Pro Bowl WR Stefon Diggs, multiple sources tell me,” Schultz reported.
For Washington, this is a direct answer to one of the biggest questions on the roster. The Commanders needed a reliable No. 2 receiver alongside Terry McLaurin for quarterback Jayden Daniels, but they hadn’t solved that problem in free agency before this move. Their most notable addition at the position had been Clemson receiver Antonio Wiliams, taken in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Diggs arrives after a 2025 season with the New England Patriots in which he posted his seventh career 1,000-yard campaign while operating as Drake Maye’s top target. New England later cut him earlier this offseason after his cap hit climbed to a level the team didn’t want to carry. After talks on a reworked contract didn’t get anywhere, the Patriots moved on.
There’s still plenty of intrigue around what Diggs can bring. He turns 33 in November, but he showed in 2025 that he can still produce at a high level. He’s also another season removed from the torn ACL he suffered in 2024, which leaves room for even more.
Put Diggs next to McLaurin, and Washington suddenly has a receiver pairing that looks a lot more dangerous for Daniels.
The move also shifts the conversation around Brandon Aiyuk. He had been seen as a possible target for the Commanders this offseason, but his situation with the San Francisco 49ers remains unresolved. Experts expect San Francisco to release him, though that hasn’t happened yet.
Aiyuk has said he wants to play for Washington, but his social media behavior hasn’t exactly helped his case. The Commanders may still have interest, but Diggs makes the need less urgent. He also comes with more certainty, especially with Aiyuk having not played a snap in the NFL since 2024 after missing all of last season while recovering from a torn ACL.

Bo Nix Is Fueling A Broncos Dream Fans Can Finally Feel
Bo Nixs return to Broncos training camp has given Denver something it has been waiting to see up close: signs that the quarterback is not only healthy again, but moving with more confidence after the broken ankle he suffered in the AFC Divisional Game. Albert Breer reported that Nixs growth has shown up in the small details coaches care about, from a stronger arm to a steadier presence as a leader, and it comes at a moment when the Broncos are trying to build a real foundation for what they hope will be a big 2026 season.
The encouraging part for Denver is that Nix does not appear to be just easing back into the job. The setup around him has also shifted, with Davis Webb now handling play-calling duties, leaving the quarterback room to focus on development and command rather than the whole load of the offense. For a team trying to turn promise into something more durable, that kind of structure matters, and it helps explain why Nixs progress is drawing so much attention inside the building. [Read more 🡒]
Dre Greenlaw Just Opened Up On Why His Broncos Stint Fell Apart
Dre Greenlaws lone season in Denver never really found a rhythm, and the linebacker recently explained how quickly things unraveled. A severe quad strain just two days into OTAs set him back from the start, and a season that was supposed to help anchor the Broncos defense instead became a frustrating mix of injuries, time on injured reserve, a suspension and the challenge of learning a new system in a new place. He appeared in only eight games before the year slipped away from him.
Greenlaw has taken accountability for the way it played out, saying the difficulty was not just physical but mental as he tried to adjust to everything around him. After the Broncos moved on from him in March, he returned to San Francisco on a one-year deal, a reset that gives both sides a cleaner path forward. For Denver, it is another reminder of how thin the margin can be when a veteran addition loses the first stretch of a season and never quite catches up. [Read more 🡒]
Broncos Rookies Are Already Turning Up The Training Camp Pressure
Training camp has already given the Broncos a useful early read on their 2026 rookie class, and the group is showing up in different ways across the roster. Tyler Onyedim has stood out at defensive tackle and looks like a player who can help the defensive line rotation sooner rather than later, while running back Jonah Coleman has drawn praise from Sean Payton for the way he has handled both his work and his conditioning.
The rest of the class is still fighting for traction, which is exactly the kind of pressure camp is supposed to create. Casey is in the mix for a guard job and Joly is working to sharpen his game as a tight end, even if the ball has not come his way often yet, and those next few weeks will matter as the Broncos sort out which rookies can force their way into real roles.
