Stefon Diggs contract details are now official, and the numbers reveal a well-structured, low-risk deal for Washington. Commanders.com confirmed the signing Tuesday, with a one-year contract worth up to $12 million.
The Base Terms
Diggs signed for one year with $7.15 million guaranteed, according to contract terms from Spotrac. That guarantee breaks down into a $2 million signing bonus and a $5.15 million base salary.
Per-game roster bonuses totalling $850,000 can push the deal to $8 million if he stays active all season.
Incentives Could Push the Deal to $12 Million
The remaining $4 million comes from incentives layered on top of the base structure. Those specific incentive terms weren’t available at the time of signing. This is standard “up to” language — a phrase that always signals incentives and escalators beyond the guaranteed portion of a deal, not a number players are likely to hit automatically.
Minimal Cap Impact
Diggs’ deal carries an $8 million cap hit ($9.7 million in cash obligations) for 2026. Neither figure moves the needle much for Washington.
The team still holds $37 million in cap space, according to Spotrac’s team overview, giving the front office plenty of room to maneuver still.
Rookie Carnell Tate is set to make $12.7m this year with the Titans.
Calvin Ridley will make over $15 Million.
Heck, the Atlanta Falcons are paying nearly this much to Jahan Dotson.
When Diggs signed last week, numbers were not yet available.
Now that they are, surely this deal qualifies as an absolute steal.
