Former Green Bay Packers rival wide receiver Stefon Diggs seems to be unhappy. The former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver, who forced his way out of Minnesota via a trade to the Buffalo Bills, is absent from his team’s mandatory mini camp. He has not shown up for any of the Bills’ offseason programs thus far, and head coach Sean McDermott says that he is “very concerned.” Ian Rapoport broke the news of this development on Twitter.
#Bills coach Sean McDermott told reporters that WR Stefon Diggs is not at mandatory minicamp and said he is “very concerned” about it.

Former Green Bay Packers Rivial Stefon Diggs Has Flourished with the Buffalo Bills and Sean McDermott
Stefon Diggs had a good early career with the Minnesota Vikings, posting back-to-back 1,000+ yard seasons in 2018 and 2019. However, he has easily played his best football and been more productive with the Bill’s offense. In 2020, he led the NFL in receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,535) while scoring eight touchdowns. He was named First Team All-Pro and named to his first Pro Bowl.
In 2021, Diggs had another fantastic season, hauling in 103 catches for 1,225 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive season.
Last season, he had an even better year, catching 108 passes for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns. Diggs was named Second Team All-Pro and was a Pro Bowler for the third year in a row.
In other words, Diggs is a big reason why the Bill’s offense has been so successful over the past three seasons. He is easily one of the best wide receivers in the NFL right now, and he is not happy. How it will play out in Buffalo is anyone’s guess.
Better them than the Packers again.
