NFL Rumors: Stefon Diggs' Unhappiness with Bills Goes Back 'Weeks, If Not Months'

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs' unhappiness with the team "goes back weeks and maybe months," ESPN's Adam Schefter speculated on The Pat McAfee Show Wednesday.

Schefter then said that Diggs' unhappiness may stem from him feeling that he was not "getting the ball quite as much as he wanted last year." Of note, though, Diggs has ranked first, fifth and fifth in targets from 2020 to 2022, respectively.

Schefter then expanded on the remarks.

"But I think it was when he was getting it, how often he was getting it, when games were on the line. I don't know if he felt he was being counted on to his level of productivity. And so there's been things with him that have dated back for a while.

"It certainly seems like they all got in a room, they talked about it, they made their attempts to appease him, and all sides put their issues on the table, and we'll see how it goes. I think for now, everything is good. But let's see what happens if they lose a game and he doesn't get the ball. We'll see if it lasts."

Diggs, who turns 30 in November, caught 108 passes for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns on 154 targets last year.

The Schefter report complements one from Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, who wrote that Diggs' issue "is with his role in the offense and his voice in play-calling."

Ultimately, things between Diggs and the Bills seem OK for now. He was in attendance at the team's mandatory minicamp, and head coach Sean McDermott said the wideout and the team are in a "real good spot."

Diggs signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the Bills in April 2022. In his three years in Buffalo, Diggs has caught 338 passes for 4,189 yards and 29 touchdowns.

The former Minnesota Viking star has clearly played an integral part in the Bills' current status as perennial AFC contenders, and maintaining a good relationship with the wideout is paramount toward the team striving for its first-ever Super Bowl title.
