The New England Patriots released Stefon Diggs, and it could make sense for the star receiver to return to the Buffalo Bills.
When Diggs left the Bills, much was made of his relationship with the organization and quarterback Josh Allen. However, during Super Bowl media day, Diggs spoke highly of the Bills. He even cleared the air on the viral picture of him side-eyeing Allen when he was on the Texans.
“They had that picture, right? Of me side-eyeing him,” Diggs said. “They just caught it at the wrong time and I’ve always wanted to speak on that photo because I was staring at him in the moment because it was like, ‘Damn, that was my brother.’ We won in Houston, but that’s my brother.”
Now, the Bills need help in the wide receiver room and have a new, offensive-minded head coach who could use a player like Diggs. The Bills added D.J. Moore and are still hoping for a breakout from Keon Coleman, but adding Diggs could give Josh Allen a receiver he is familiar with, coming off a 1,000-yard campaign.
How would Diggs feel about going back to the Bills? Well, during Super Bowl media day, Diggs said he has plenty of love for the Bills and their fan base still.
“I love you guys. I know I’m far gone, but I do miss you all. I built a great relationship with you all. “Keep hanging your head on that quarterback. That quarterback is a Hall of Famer. Parts of me do wish things were different because I do have a lot of love and respect for that team.”
Moore had under 700 receiving yards last season and failed to crack 1,000 yards in 2024 as well. Coleman has not lived up to expectations, and Diggs could instantly be a reliable target for Allen. At the very worst, he would be the No. 2 receiver if Moore can get back to dominating now that he's with Allen.
