Before his unexpected trade to Houston, there were indications that Stefon Diggs might leave Buffalo, highlighted by a significant incident following the Bills’ Week 1 loss to the Jets in 2023. The rift between Diggs and Josh Allen after the game was discussed by Tim Graham of The Athletic on his podcast. Although Allen initially reacted angrily without knowing what Diggs had said, tensions between the two were evident. Despite uncertainties about his future, Diggs had a productive season with the Bills, accumulating impressive stats. In February, he mentioned taking things “day by day” regarding his future.
