Sources: WR Stefon Diggs set to sign with Commanders

Key Points:

• Stefon Diggs is set to sign a one-year deal worth up to $12 million with the Washington Commanders, providing a proven receiving option opposite Terry McLaurin.
• Diggs, 32, has been a four-time Pro Bowler and was a first-team All-Pro in 2020, bringing veteran experience to a receiver group that struggled with depth due to injuries last season.
• The Commanders had been interested in other wide receivers like Brandon Aiyuk but shifted focus to Diggs after Aiyuk remained with the 49ers and following off-field concerns.
• Diggs caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns with the Patriots last season before being released in March, and he has a history of consistent production despite missing games due to injury.
• Off the field, Diggs was found not guilty of felony strangulation and assault charges in May, with the NFL deciding not to suspend him after its investigation; he is also involved in a defamation lawsuit.
