"Sheehan declared himself a "Stefon Diggs fan from [the] standpoint" of sheer will to win and tenacity while also citing valid, well-chronicled character concerns. But ultimately, the pros outweigh the cons: the four-time Pro Bowler is a gamer in every way who addresses a glaring roster hole in Washington."
""I think [Diggs'] as good as a competitor as the game has," Sheehan stated. "He is there on game day. ... A pain in the backside for coaches, for teammates. But short dose, one season, a big season, where there's a team with a need for a No. 2 receiver. For a guy that loves to win - helps you win on Sundays. ... Call me interested in Stefon Diggs.""
"A polarizing player like Diggs can split a fan base, as the Washington faithful is experiencing firsthand. Some believe he's worth the trouble, and others think his outspoken, unpredictable behavior can destroy a locker room. The truth typically lies somewhere in the middle, though, which is why Sheehan seems so willing to roll the dice."
Stefon Diggs was found not guilty of assaulting a private chef over a pay dispute, resolving recent off-field legal issues. His exoneration increases interest in his free-agent availability, with the Washington Commanders identified as a potential destination. Kevin Sheehan supports the idea, emphasizing Diggs’ competitiveness, presence on game day, and ability to help address a roster need as a No. 2 receiver. Sheehan acknowledges character concerns tied to Diggs’ fiery spirit and potential disruption to coaches and teammates, but argues the talent and fit for a short-term, high-impact season outweigh the risks. Diggs’ polarizing reputation continues to divide Washington fans.
