"It didn't take long for the Washington Commanders to come up among the suitors for cornerback Trevon Diggs after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys. His previous connection to head coach Dan Quinn dictated nothing else, in all honesty. That does not detract from the fact that this would be a high-risk gamble if general manager Adam Peters gave it the green light."
"Diggs looked like a genuine superstar during his All-Pro campaign. That was a long time ago now, and injuries derailed his momentum considerably. Couple this with accusations about being a locker room distraction during his final days in Dallas, and a parting of the ways always seemed inevitable. The Commanders are in desperate need of help at cornerback. Diggs would be joining a lot of familiar faces in Washington. He's also a Maryland native, so it's not hard to connect the dots. Even so, there are enough reasons to explore other targets unless there is 100 percent conviction."
"This was a topic discussed by ex-Washington star Brian Mitchell on 106.7 The Fan. He didn't think just factoring in the previous relationship factor was enough. The Commanders have to be convinced that Diggs can assist before making this move a reality. "They have to be careful just jumping at familiarity. They need to find guys that are playing their best ball." Brian Mitchell Trevon Diggs obviously played well for Dan Quinn in Dallas, so I asked @BMITCHLIVE30 if Washington should go after Diggs: "They have to be careful just jumping at familiarity. They need to find guys that are playing their best ball."- JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 30, 2025"
Washington is considering Trevon Diggs after his release by Dallas, but the move carries significant risk given his injury history and reported locker-room distractions. Diggs reached All-Pro form under Dan Quinn in Dallas but has not sustained that level since, raising doubts about his current performance. Familiarity with Quinn and local ties to Maryland make a reunion appealing, yet the Commanders urgently need cornerback help and must prioritize players who are performing at their best. Ex-Washington star Brian Mitchell advised caution, arguing that the team should not sign players based solely on past relationships without clear evidence of present value.
