Commanders rumors: ESPN’s Stefon Diggs report suggests Brandon Aiyuk isn’t even on radar anymore

While Brandon Aiyuk hasn’t done himself any favors with the Washington Commanders, the rumor smoke seems to be growing around Stefon Diggs. And a recent report suggests Stefon Diggs is still a person of interest while Aiyuk isn’t even on the radar anymore.

Aiyuk wasn’t even mentioned while Diggs drew a nod, according to ESPN.

“The Commanders are still in see-what-we-have mode at receiver,” Jeremy Fowler wrote. “But I’m told free agent Stefon Diggs is on the radar. Washington is monitoring the situation with Diggs, who’s intrigued by the chance to play in Washington (he’s from the area). Let’s see how things play out. But it seems like this is a realistic option as the sides keep in contact.”

Commanders WR position still unsettled

The Commanders have a solid WR1 in Terry McLaurin. Also, they have a potential hybrid tight end in Chig Okonkwo. After that, there’s a mix of nothing exciting in the Commanders’ camp. Treylon Burks is flanked by Antonio Williams, Dyami Brown, Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and Van Jefferson.

“Treylon Burks’ name comes up often when asking people here who will play a role in the passing game,” Fowler wrote. “The Commanders like his ability as a contested-catch option in the red zone.

“He’s made a lot of great plays early,” McLaurin said.

Perhaps the best news for the Commanders is that McLaurin seems to be ready to rock for the 2026 season after a disappointing campaign last year that was detoured by various injuries.

“My body feels great,” he said. “I’m clocking 22 mph, not missing any days. So I just feel like my normal self. And when you’re out here from Day 1 all the way through camp, obviously you get in that full conditioning mode.

“This has been my home for going on eight years now, and I’m super excited just to be here for the whole entire season.”

If the Commanders don’t get things settled on the outside, it could hamper the effectiveness of third-year quarterback Jayden Daniels. In particular, he needs to have a guy who can make plays other than McLaurin.
