What a week it has been for longtime NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs. He began the week facing felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges, but was found not guilty of all charges. Afterward, Diggs, 32, took to social media to let everyone know he wasn't done with football .

He shouldn't be done with football. Diggs caught 85 passes for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, and played a significant role in helping lead the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl. However, after the season, the Patriots released Diggs, making him a free agent again.

A native of Montgomery County, Maryland, Diggs was immediately linked to the Washington Commanders . And considering Washington's need at receiver, it made sense. In response to the aforementioned social media post from Diggs, Commanders defensive end Charles Omenihu said, "burgundy and gold.

" Diggs responded with multiple eyeball emojis. On Saturday, Diggs was back in the DMV, as his "Diggs Deep Foundation" was hosting an event for Mother's Day. Naturally, when Diggs spoke to the media, he was asked about the Commanders.
