Plenty of NFL fans noticed something very interesting about Stefon Diggs’ farewell post to Buffalo Bills fans on Instagram.
On Wednesday, the Bills announced that they traded Stefon Diggs and two draft picks (a 2024 sixth-rounder and a 2025 fifth-rounder) to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick.
His tenure in Buffalo certainly didn’t end on a positive note, but it didn’t stop Diggs from sharing a heartwarming farewell message to Bills Mafia on social media:
Many fans noticed something interesting about his goodbye message: Diggs didn’t even mention star quarterback Josh Allen, who helped the 30-year-old make the jump to superstar over his four-year run with the organization:
Diggs’ snubbing of Allen is only going to lead to more speculation that the relationship between the two had soured over time. At any rate, Diggs gets a fresh start with another AFC contender in Houston, while the Bills get much-needed cap space.
In each of his four seasons with Buffalo, Stefon Diggs hit the 100-catch and 1,100-yard marks. In 2020, he led the NFL in both receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,535), helping the Bills to their first AFC Championship Game appearance in 27 years.
Stefon Diggs Leaves Buffalo With A Complicated Legacy
On one hand, Stefon Diggs helped the Bills make the jump to Super Bowl contender following his arrival in 2020. The Bills won four straight AFC East division crowns and five playoff games during the Diggs-Allen era.
But Diggs also failed to consistently produce for the Bills in big games. In Buffalo’s last three playoff losses (all in the Divisional Round), Diggs had a combined 10 receptions and failed to record a single touchdown.
The 2020 AFC title game appearance was supposed to be the beginning of something special in Buffalo with Diggs and Allen leading the way, but it turned out to be the peak in this era of Buffalo football. The super pass-catching duo had their fair share of chances, but they just couldn’t break through when it mattered most.
