Stefon Diggs joins Washington Commanders after release from New England Patriots

The Washington Commanders signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a one-year deal worth up to $12 million on August 5. This move follows his release from the New England Patriots earlier this year, a decision the team attributed to financial considerations. Diggs spent one season in New England, where he led the team with 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while reaching Super Bowl LX. He now joins a Washington roster featuring quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The Commanders face the Eagles this Sunday to open their season. Washington enters the year navigating concerns regarding defensive depth and the injury status of tackle Laremy Tunsil Tunsil.
