What happened: The 30-year-old spent 2025 with Washington before rejoining the franchise where his NFL career began. The agreement arrived in the final week of July, when established free-agent receivers are rarely still available.
Why it matters: Teams needing camp reinforcements retain two accomplished alternatives, but one fewer option could sharpen timing and price pressure. Their continued availability lets clubs evaluate roster needs before committing to another veteran contract.
By the numbers: Diggs and Allen have 24 combined NFL seasons entering 2026: 11 for Diggs and 13 for Allen.
What to watch: Watch whether Diggs or Allen reaches a deal before preseason games begin.
