The New England Patriots moved on from wide receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason. The wideout is still waiting for his next NFL opportunity.
In a perfect world, Pro Football Focus’s Bradley Locker sees it coming with the Washington Commanders.
On Thursday, Locker named the Commanders the ideal NFL free agency fit for Diggs.
“The Commanders’ receiving corps was sneakily one of the more dire going into the draft. Even after selecting Clemson’s Antonio Williams in the third round, Washington needs another reliable weapon for Jayden Daniels,” wrote Locker.
“Diggs was cut by the Patriots just one year into his lucrative contract, but his 2025 performance wasn’t the reason why. The 32-year-old was an anchor for New England’s upstart passing attack, ranking 10th among qualifiers in PFF receiving grade (82.6) and yards per route run (2.08) while dropping just 2.9% of his targets.
“Diggs will now play on his fourth squad in four years, but he’s been a remarkably consistent playmaker when healthy — earning at least a 77.6 receiving grade in every season of his career. With Terry McLaurin and Luke McCaffrey both appearing on under 500 snaps in 2025, Daniels would benefit from Diggs’ inside-outside skillset to lift the Commanders’ beleaguered group.”
In his lone season with the Patriots, Diggs posted 85 catches, 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns. During 2025, no other New England wide receiver had more than 551 receiving yards.
