Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott’s recent comment during a press appearance seemed to hint at his clash with former player Stefon Diggs, who was traded to the Houston Texans. Bills general manager Brandon Beane suggested that salary cap constraints played a role in trading Diggs, echoing rumors of discord between him and the team. Diggs had incidents of confrontations with teammates and staff, with a reputation for being self-centered and demanding with his playing time. McDermott’s remarks on the 2024 Bills’ chemistry were seen as a veiled reference to Diggs.
When asked about the positive impact of having many new faces on the team, McDermott expressed his enthusiasm for the synergy they’ve brought. He noted that everyone seems focused and committed, despite the distractions that can arise during the spring season. McDermott appreciates the team’s collective effort and unselfish attitude, which he believes is a key strength. The Bills may have lost some star players like Diggs, but McDermott believes that the team’s unselfish approach could lead to a more cohesive and productive offense. The focus during the minicamp is on working together and putting the team first.
