Bills Mafia, NFL world reactions to Stefon Diggs' comments on his former team
Just on the brink of starting his new career with the Houston Texans, former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs took one look back.
Diggs, 30, was traded by the Bills to the Texans this offseason. The move was a surprise because of the massive $30 million dead cap hit Buffalo took on because of the trade.
Diggs spoke in an exclusive interview and essentially took credit for the trade taking place. Referring to previously being dealt to Buffalo by the Minnesota Vikings as well, Diggs said "none of those teams wanted to get rid of me."
Naturally such commentary caused plenty of reaction.
Here's a rundown of some of the top social media reactions from both Bills Mafia and the NFL world on Diggs' comments:

Stef Diggs maybe shouldn't be asking if he forgot how to play football with this video from his last game. https://t.co/3MvY9kb3Am

I remember right after this game, Josh went up on that podium and was accountable for the loss and defended Diggs, like he always did. Diggs was no where to be found, because he has no idea what it means to be a leader or accountable https://t.co/agY4SEh1OK pic.twitter.com/R3KDj9KAwY

I have absolutely no ill will towards Stefon Diggs. He wanted out because he was no longer the number one guy. Is what it is.
But man, it honestly makes me appreciate how Knox took Kincaid under his wing and took a pay cut to stay with the team even more. 💙 #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/CPDMhfbm14— Lauren Elizabeth🌹 (@xLauren_Mx) September 3, 2024

Diggs is gone, just let him be gone and yap. I’m not surprised he was miserable here last season, he seemed it, and it’s best someone who isn’t happy is gone than hating being here. We have our revenge game opportunity till then I’m just worried about our Bills

I bet Diggs was embarrassed and ashamed he dropped that pass and manifested his thoughts about the “window being closed”. And in that failure from letting his team, his “brothers”, and a fanbase down, his over inflated ego had to find a way to absolve himself of accountability.

Stefon Diggs’ comments today showed he was the problem, putting himself before the team wore thin.
He didn’t want to defer so the offense could operate more cohesively as a unit. He wanted to be forced fed. In his warped mind he thinks that is what’s best for team success. pic.twitter.com/YR59ztl7LM— Air Raid | Buffalo (@TheBillsGuys) September 3, 2024

I want to thank Stefon Diggs for all he's done. Making me appreciate Justin Jefferson so much more. Thank you. 💜

Stefon Diggs said he was in the worst mental headspace of his career last season with the #Bills:
“Last year, I was in the worst mental space I’ve been in since I’ve been in the league... So that’s when things had to start shaking out.”

So Diggs basically admitted he asked for a trade because he was no longer the focal point of the offense, lol.
I don't even mean this as taking a shot I am GENUINELY curious how he's going to like being the third option in Texas.— Lauren Elizabeth🌹 (@xLauren_Mx) September 3, 2024
Diggs reaction
Remember when I told y’all Diggs wanted to come here like 2 months before the trade happened? Good times. https://t.co/b57rFjvfyI
