SUMMARY
- The Buffalo Bills are looking to revamp their roster by offloading some players and bringing in new talent after their frustrating defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Stefon Diggs faces scrutiny for his performance and perceived decline in speed and capabilities.
The NFL 2023-24 season almost come to an end. The Bills want to offload some players and add some new talent to decorate them in a new way. Stefon Diggs is the first name linked with a move away from the Bills. However, this is not the first time Diggs’s name has been linked with moving away from the Bills.
After the divisional round, only four franchises, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and Detroit Lions, are left in the tournament. Yesterday’s shocking defeat of Buffalo Bills to City Chiefs in their home ground frustrated the supporters and created a hot weather inside the dressing room.
Last year, in August, rumors were spread that Stefon Diggs would not be a Bills player in the 2024 season. The player directly denied this report and got frustrated and wrote on social media “100% not true.” The wide receiver also said, “I don’t know who the source is, but I thought I nip this shit in the bud already.” He responds to the claim made by Stephen A. Smith.
Smith earlier said, “Brother wants out, by the way. I’m just telling you what I know. I got my own sources. Brother wants out. He didn’t wanna be in Buffalo no more.” Football is all about strength, power, and speed Diggs is already 30 and left his full potential far behind.
The wide receiver cannot run like he used to do earlier. The 30-year-old’s current cap hit value is $27,854,000, and his present performance isn’t equivalent to the value. Therefore, offloading the player might benefit the franchise as they can save a hefty amount. However, the fact is not actually true that Diggs is willing to leave the Bills in 2024; the possibility can’t be ignored.
Stefano Diggs’ brother Trevon Diggs asked him to leave the Buffalo Bills
Last year, Stefano Diggs’ younger brother Trevon Diggs suggested he should leave the Buffalo Bills due to growing exasperation. Diggs became furious and frustrated the previous year due to the Bills’ defeats that had pushed the team back.

The wide receiver became a frustrated figure after their defeat in November against the struggling side, the Denver Broncos. That defeat also took the team’s tally to a third consecutive loss. That night’s performance of the 30-year-old was a mixture of good and bad.
After the defeat, Diggs’s brother Trevon wrote on X, “Man 14 gotta get out of there.” However, despite the Bills’ hobbling performance during mid-season, they managed to qualify for the knockouts in the end.
