The NFL closed<\/a> its Personal Conduct Policy investigation into Stefon Diggs last week, clearing the free agent wide receiver as he seeks a new team.<\/p>\n

Diggs, 32, addressed his future in an interview with Fox 5 DC on Monday, including the possibility of landing with his hometown Commanders.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never realized how many fans it was back home until I was a free agent and people were like, \u2018Are you going to come back home<\/a>?\u2019\u201d Diggs told the TV station. \u201cEspecially when they see me back. I\u2019m like this, I\u2019ve been living here for my whole life. I\u2019ve been living here for 10 years. They was just like this, \u2018Oh, we never see you.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Man, y\u2019all wasn\u2019t looking.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of hopes. We\u2019re kind of figuring it out, working through some things. I did have a small piece of me, like, \u2018Damn, it would be great to come home and play in front of the fans I used to play in front of as a young adolescent in college and just kind of doing something for the city.\u2019 Hopefully, things do work out. We\u2019ll see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diggs grew up in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and played collegiately at Maryland. He has played for the Vikings, who selected him in the fifth round in 2015, Bills, Texans and Patriots.<\/p>\n

The Patriots released Diggs in March, replacing him with A.J. Brown earlier this month.<\/p>\n

A jury acquitted Diggs of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault, prompting the NFL to end its investigation. Now, it\u2019s just a matter of Diggs finding the right fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL closed its Personal Conduct Policy investigation into Stefon Diggs last week, clearing the free agent wide…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":706512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-706511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=706511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/706512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=706511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=706511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=706511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
