Former star Minnesota Vikings WR Stefon Diggs is still on the open market and available to sign a contract.
Diggs recently finished up a trial with a verdict of “not guilty” amid allegations of various forms of abuse from his former chef. Now that those legal issues are behind him, talks have ramped back up about his next team. We don’t know who that will be quite yet, but we do know that it won’t be the Minnesota Vikings.
Minnesota signed WR Jauan Jennings in recent weeks to be their WR3. This essentially shut the door on the possibility of Diggs coming back “home” to the Vikings.
With the Vikings out of the picture, Diggs is now being urged to sign with his hometown team.

Moe Moton of Bleacher Report recently floated the Commanders as a great spot for Stefon Diggs to land.
“The Washington Commanders selected Antonio Williams to address a need at wide receiver. Yet they can still add veteran insurance in case he has a quiet rookie campaign…
..entering his age-32 season, Stefon Diggs can be a reliable No. 2 wideout. He caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns with a career-high 83.3 percent catch rate as the New England Patriots‘ go-to target last year.”
Moton also included a transcript of Stefon Diggs talking with FOX 5 about a potential run with his boyhood team:
“I did have a small piece of me like, d***, it would be great to come home and play and play in front of the fans I used to play in front of as a young adolescent in college and just kind of doing something for the city. That definitely would be a moment. Hopefully, things do work out.”
Moton finished the Diggs-to-Washington case by sharing that he could potentially sign a contract with them in the coming weeks.
QB Kyler Murray Makes Exciting List Ahead of Training Camp

Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report recently put together a list of veterans on new teams that he’s most excited to see during training camp. On that list, you could find Vikings QB Kyler Murray, along with an explanation as to why.
“Of all the veteran quarterbacks who changed teams this offseason—and it’s a lengthy list that includes Tua Tagovailoa, Kirk Cousins, Malik Willis, and Geno Smith—we’re most excited to see Kyler Murray with his new team.
There are multiple reasons for this, but it all starts with the fact that Murray was once a legitimate rising star. The dynamic dual-threat signal-caller was a two-time Pro Bowler before he suffered a torn ACL in 2022, missed half of 2023, and then saw things just sort of go stale with the Arizona Cardinals…
…Minnesota’s situation is another reason why we can’t wait to see Murray in camp. Under O’Connell, the Vikings have regularly put explosive offenses on the field when they’ve had capable quarterback play. They didn’t have that with 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy last season, but Murray already appears to be ahead in the QB competition.”
There’s no question that Kyler Murray’s presence in Minnesota could set off some fireworks. All eyes in the Land of 10,000 Lakes will be upon Murray and McCarthy during training camp amid the competition.
