Hold up, did you hear about these new Stefon Diggs rumors? Turns out, before he signed on the dotted line with the Washington Commanders, some serious contenders were in the mix. We’re talking about the Kansas City Chiefs, the Miami Dolphins, and the Las Vegas Raiders all connecting with the former free agent wide receiver! ESPN’s Adam Schefter dropped this absolute bomb on the Pat McAfee Show, giving us a peek behind the curtain of free agency. Can you even imagine Diggs in one of those uniforms? Wild.
The Big Players Who Missed Out
Yeah, the Chiefs, Dolphins, and Raiders. Think about the offensive firepower that could have added to any of those squads. Each of those teams was apparently trying to get Diggs before he settled on Washington. It makes you wonder what their pitches were, what their offers looked like. The league almost saw a completely different landscape for one of its top wideouts.
The Deal That Got Done
In the end, it was the Commanders who sealed the deal. Diggs signed a one-year contract with them, and it was a pretty sweet package: reportedly up to $12 million in incentives. That’s a nice payday for a single season, and ESPN’s John Keim and Seth Walder were the ones who gave us the scoop on those specific contract details. So, while other teams were sniffing around, Washington swooped in and secured him. It’s always fascinating to see how these deals truly come together, isn’t it?
