During a game against the New England Patriots, Stefon Diggs, the wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, was seen looking on.
Trade rumors have surrounded Stefon Diggs during the offseason, but one insider is dismissing the drama. Last year, Diggs caused controversy with cryptic social media posts and was even sent home during mandatory mini-camp. Although he made vague comments about his future with the team, SI.com’s Ralph Ventre is refuting any trade speculation due to the Bills’ tight cap situation. Ventre stated that the team has no plans to move on from their All-Pro receiver and that the media is creating drama. Trading Diggs would only add to the team’s salary cap issues, not solve them.
Stefon Diggs is still highly valued by the Bills, despite his recent slump in form during the latter part of the season, where he failed to score a receiving touchdown in seven consecutive games – the longest stretch of his career. Head coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen have both expressed their unwavering confidence in Diggs, and Bills general manager Brandon Beane has emphasized that he remains the team’s top receiver. Beane believes that Diggs is a No. 1 receiver, and the team will continue to provide him with support by adding more weapons to prevent him from being targeted by opposing teams.
