Bills’ Stefon Diggs trade confuses former NFL star for 1 reason
‘”I wasn’t shocked.

‘There’s no doubt Diggs will go down as pivotal in Allen’s development, and the pairing brought tremendous success to the Bills. The rumors that Diggs could be a trade candidate have been around for some time and, although he remained committed to retiring as a Bill before the 2023 season and started the first six games on a historic pace, he turned in some of the lowest statistical games of his career from the middle to end of the year.’
