Antonio Williams was selected at No. 71 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft and could enter training camp as the team’s WR2, but his role is not guaranteed. Brandon Aiyuk has been a long-running trade rumor, with interest tied to playing alongside Jayden Daniels and former Arizona State connections. Stefon Diggs has also emerged as a possibility after legal clearance concerns were resolved, and he has expressed openness to joining his childhood hometown team. Adding Diggs could slow Williams’ short-term progress because both players are similar and focus on route running. Washington must decide how to balance immediate production with the need to prioritize younger wide receiver development.
"“If you bring (Diggs) in, you are absolutely slowing down the chances of Antonio Williams helping you in the short term, because Stefon Diggs and him are similar players. With both of these guys, they talk about route running. If you bring him in, you're taking Antonio Williams and saying, 'We'll see you in a season.'”"
"“The temptation is certainly understandable with Diggs, who was still productive for the New England Patriots last season at age 32. He caught 85 passes for 1,013 receiving yards and four touchdowns, helping his team reach the Super Bowl.”"
"“The biggest concern was that a potential league suspension stemming from his domestic case would render him unsignable, but that has now been resolved. Still, the Commanders have a tough decision on their hands.”"
"“Antonio Williams was selected at No. 71 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, and there's a chance he enters training camp as WR2. But it's far from a sure thing.”"
