What's the latest on the Commanders and Stefon Diggs?

July 27, 2026 - 06:09

Stefon Diggs remains without a team as training camps get underway across the league. The veteran wide receiver, who was released by the Buffalo Bills earlier this offseason, has yet to find a new home despite being one of the most productive pass-catchers of the past decade. The Washington Commanders have been the most frequently mentioned suitor, but no deal has materialized.

Diggs, 30, is coming off a season where he posted 107 receptions for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. However, his relationship with the Bills soured late in the year, leading to the team moving on. The Commanders have a clear need at receiver after trading away Terry McLaurin's primary complement. Washington's new offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, runs a system that could maximize Diggs' route-running ability.

But there are complications. Diggs is seeking a contract that reflects his production, while teams are wary of his age and the reported tension in Buffalo. The Commanders also have a young quarterback in Jayden Daniels, and adding a high-maintenance veteran might not be the ideal fit for a rebuilding locker room. Other teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys have been mentioned in speculation, but neither has shown serious interest.

For now, Diggs waits. Training camps are the time when players get hurt and rosters shift. If a contender loses a receiver in the next few weeks, the phone might ring. Until then, one of the NFL's most consistent playmakers is watching from home.
