NFL: Stefon Diggs has become a major talking point this off-season. He has all of a sudden expressed that he may want to move on from the Buffalo Bills. He deleted his Bills photos from Instagram in March and in April he Tweeted “Comeeee andddd rescue me…” It has gotten to the point that reports have leaked that the Bills would actually consider a trade.
According to NFL insider Benjamin Allbright via the podcast Broncos Country Tonight, the Bills are open to trading Diggs if he continues to be a distraction in the building. While Diggs is an elite wide receiver who the Bills prefer to keep, the team understands that his temperament can be “mercurial” and could pose problems for a team with little room for error this season as their Super Bowl window closes. New reports surfaced this week that didn’t help the situation at all.
Buffalo Bills’ Interest In DeAndre Hopkins Creates Controversy With Stefon Diggs?
DeAndre Hopkins has gone weeks without landing a new contract — despite some high-profile visits to two teams considered his top suitors. That being said, the Buffalo Bills are back in the mix. Reporter Joe DiBiase of WGR 550 noted that the Bills remain one of the top betting favorites, and the long wait in securing a new deal could create an opening for Buffalo. Could this spell the end for Stefon Diggs in Buffalo? According to Buffalo Beat TV:
Buffalo Bills’ star receiver Stefon Diggs has recently sparked controversy due to his increasingly strained relationship with the team’s management. Notably, Diggs was absent from the team’s compulsory mock drill sessions, raising questions over team camaraderie and his influence over the gameplay strategy.
These events have led to brewing speculation if Diggs’ future with the Bills is uncertain, despite his long-standing contract.In another development, the Buffalo Bills’ rumoured interest in former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins may cause further unease in the camp.
The purported intent to bolster the receiver lineup comes amidst the team’s ambitions to establish themselves as primary contenders for the Super Bowl. As the situation continues to unfold, the team and its fans eagerly await the resolution of Diggs’ affair and potential trade occurrences.
What Would It Take To Trade For Stefon Diggs?
If the Bills’ roster has one Achilles heel, it would be the poor play of their offensive line over the years. Buffalo’s offensive line allowed 180 pressures and 18 sacks on the season. The team tried to address their offensive line woes before the 2022 season by acquiring Rodger Saffold, but he provided just a 44.0 PFF grade at left guard. The Bills went to the free agency well once again this offseason to try and solve their offensive line woes, this time targeting Connor McGovern to hopefully solidify the left side of their line.
That being said, it would likely take a starting caliber offensive lineman and premium draft picks to go with it.
