The 2026 Free Agency Thread

We need a live-look at Aiyuk crashing out from the news i think.

In all seriousness, i like the signing. Offense should be pretty good this season. If the defense can be even a middle-of-the-pack defense and give Jayden short fields to work with (and not have our offense be down 7-0 when they first step on the field), we could have a fun year.
 
Hows the WR room look now, keeping 7? TM, Diggs, Williams. Dyami, Luke, Lane.....Burks, van jefferson?

Why did the Commanders wait so long to sign him? And does his delayed start hurt his chances to make an early impact?​

There were multiple reasons. At one point, Brandon Aiyuk appeared to be a possibility -- Washington was just waiting for him to be released from the 49ers. The Commanders would have been interested, according to multiple team sources. But he has yet to be cut.

So that likelihood diminished this summer, putting them more on a path to Diggs, who was always going to be the more expensive option.

Also, with Diggs not in camp, others -- notably rookie Williams -- have gotten more reps -- and a better chance for Washington to see what it had in its receiving corps. Williams in particular will play a key role, and there are similarities in how he'd be used along with Diggs.

It's also possible that Diggs wanted to see what other opportunities arose -- or the money just wasn't right. But he had made it known that he would like to play in Washington.
 
It's been reported several times that Diggs produced his 1,000 yards on 50% of snaps. It's possible that at his stage taking those snaps off is necessary. I think that actually works well with this team. Blough seems to have already been designing a receiver room by committee. So, Diggs is our #2, but our bevy of 3s and 4s will be there to give him a breather. It actually could work out really well.

I think part of that was he was coming off an ACL. He claims he's feeling better this year versus last.
