mayhapOh wow, when I hit post on that fic yesterday morning I was not expecting to hear the news later in the day that the Bills were trading Stefon Diggs to the Texans for a bag of chips. They're eating $31 million in dead cap just to have him gone and be done with it, which speaks to a relationship that had really irretrievably broken down. I kind of feel like I'm rubbing salt in Bills fans' wounds now. Which, to be fair, sounds like something I might have done on purpose if I had known, but in point of fact I did not.
I've loved watching Stefon Diggs since his Vikings days but I will admit that he seems like he can be A Lot. I'm not so much surprised that a team would want to trade him away as that they would do it when the terms are so unfavorable to them. Apparently, though, an actual point of contention between him and the team was that Stefon wouldn't defend the Bills when his little brother Trevon, who's an All-Pro cornerback for the Cowboys, would make taunting posts on social media. Would responding have actually made anything better? Don't any of these people have their own little brothers??
Edit: According to Chris Simms, Stefon Diggs was allowed to seek a trade to any team other than the Kansas City Chiefs. We are the bogeyman that haunts Buffalo's nightmares and I love it.
