Stefon Diggs, who snagged 1,000 yards playing just 55% of snaps last season for New England, is highly motivated and feeling like he can be a “really good No. 2 receiver for a top quarterback” as at least five teams check in on his market. This guy isn’t rehabbing an ACL this year, so you know he’s got a fire lit under him. He’s out there working on his own, sending a clear message to the league.
Diggs Eyes Washington and Jayden Daniels’ Potential
ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler dropped the latest update on Diggs, confirming what we’ve all been hearing: the market for him is heating up. Diggs proved last year he can be a serious threat even with limited action. Imagine what he could do with a full workload, right?
The Washington Commanders are definitely intriguing to Diggs. Why? He sees that young quarterback Jayden Daniels, who’s from that DMV area, as a potential star. There are rumors flying around the league that Washington *could* add another receiver at some point to complement Terry McLaurin. One name that *won’t* be heading there is Brandon Aiyuk, who is still under contract with the San Francisco 49ers. So, if the Commanders want a big-name veteran, Diggs might just be their guy, ready to make a major impact.
Commanders’ GM Adam Peters’ Week 1 Dilemma
Here’s the kicker, though: these veteran players don’t always want to hit training camp when it’s 90 degrees out. They can easily wait a week or two before signing a deal. That gives Commanders GM Adam Peters some time, but also a major dilemma. Peters wants to see what he’s already got in camp, and there are a bunch of players vying for that No. 2 receiver spot. Think Treylon Burks, Antonio Williams, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, Dyami Brown, and Van Jefferson. They’re all trying to prove they’re worthy of a starting role this season.
If Peters feels good about that group, he might just stick with the guys he has and opt against adding an outside veteran like Diggs. It’s a calculated risk, betting on internal talent versus bringing in a proven, highly motivated veteran weapon. Commanders fans, get ready, because this decision could define their early season. Will they wait it out, or will they make a decisive move for Diggs before Week 1 kicks off in September? The clock is ticking.
