More details have emerged regarding Stefon Diggs' discontent with the Buffalo Bills.
Diggs made headlines earlier this week when he missed Tuesday's mandatory minicamp session. The Bills wouldn't offer many details on the matter, with quarterback Josh Allen simply stating that they were working with Diggs on non-football matters.
According to a report from Ben Volin of The Boston Globe, Diggs' unhappiness with the Bills stems from "his role" as well as his voice in Buffalo's offensive play-calling:
"This is a rare situation where the issue doesn't appear to be money. Diggs signed a four-year, $96 million deal last offseason and is set to make a healthy $24.4 million in 2023.
Diggs's frustration is with his role in the offense and his voice in play-calling, per a league source close to the Bills' locker room. He was visibly agitated at Allen during the 27-10 playoff loss to the Bengals, stormed out of the locker room almost immediately after the game, and didn't attend any voluntary workouts this offseason."
Diggs has been one of football's elite offensive playmakers since being traded from Minnesota in 2020. He recorded over 100 receptions and more than 1,200 yards receiving in each of his first three years with the organization.
Regardless of the internal issues, the Bills and Diggs have to find a way to be on the same page. There's simply no replacing a receiver of his caliber, but it's also to find a team and realistic landing spot that gives Diggs a better chance at a Super Bowl while continuing to put up all-world stats.
As Volin noted, however, Diggs' production hasn't been the same in the postseason. Allen has simply been unable to get the ball out regularly to Diggs, who has just 37 receptions for 527 yards and two touchdowns in six playoff games as a Bill.
