Although no longer with the Buffalo Bills, Stefon Diggs is once again at the center of offseason speculation as he begins a new chapter with the Houston Texans. His abrupt trade from the Bills concluded a period of uncertainty surrounding his future in Buffalo. Last year, Diggs had caused a stir by missing team activities, and now, his decision to sit out the Texans’ initial optional practices has raised fresh concerns.
Although Diggs was not required to attend the Texans’ first sessions, as Silagyi pointed out, his absence brought back memories for Bills supporters.
That being said, reading that he has already missed one OTA practice makes me laugh and feel a little nostalgic. It seems like it happened before,” Silagyi wrote.Others have downplayed worries about Diggs’s lack of practice. Veteran players frequently miss optional practices, according to ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime. He pointed out that Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil was one of the players who missed OTAs.
The Bills’ offense saw some significant changes this offseason, with Gabe Davis departing in free agency and Keon Coleman being drafted as the No. 33 overall pick. Quarterback Josh Allen expressed his admiration for Coleman, stating that he brings the qualities needed for the team’s passing game. Allen praised Coleman’s physicality and ability to win contested catches, qualities that fit well with the team’s offensive scheme. Despite the departures of Davis and others, Allen believes the team has built a strong group of wide receivers with the addition of players like Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel. Allen is optimistic about the potential of the wide receiver room now that Coleman has joined the mix.
