Redskins running back Derrius Guice tweeted about said illustration, leading to widespread speculation that the former Maryland Terrapin could be potentially on the move.
Despite Stefon Diggs trending on Twitter and his brother posting a picture of him in a Redskins’ uniform, he has not and is not being traded to Washington. “F—- no,” said one source.
