Post Draft: Who do you want at WR2 / X Receiver?

I think we aren’t signing anyone early. We want to see how our wr room performs in camp. We probably don’t add a vet wr until closer to start of preseason games.

If that is the approach, Diggs is likely out.
No way a 1000 yard receiver is available AFTER teams start training camp.
Unless he is asking for 15M or something and awaiting for a starter lost to injury, which I doubt.

If I'm Diggs, I sign the week before camp to maximize my value, that's in 2 weeks.
If I'm Washington, I'm already talking to him now.

Perhaps their late signing backup plan as you speculate is Hopkins?

I do think they will sign someone who could function as both a #2, and and injury backup to Terry. Diggs is the only one who could legitimately offer both.

Exactly. Other than McLaurin (who may have issues staying healthy), we have no other receivers that are proven to produce consistently.

Diggs has almost twice as many career yards as McLaurin. He's also proven to be durable. The longer we delay, the less likely he signs here. Diggs has 2-3 years left of good football. Needs to be in DC.
