Stefon Diggs appeared to become increasingly frustrated with the Buffalo Bills over the past year or so, and the sentiment with his quarterback may have been mutual.
After Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans this week, Tim Graham of The Athletic shared an intriguing story from last season that he had chosen not to report on at the time.
In the latest episode of his “Tim Graham and Friends” podcast, Graham recounted a heated exchange he witnessed between Diggs and Allen following Buffalo’s first game of the season last year.
After Allen threw three interceptions in a 22-16 loss to the New York Jets in Week 1, Graham said several Bills players approached the quarterback in the locker room with messages of encouragement.
Allen had a towel draped over his head and did not say much until Diggs approached him.
According to Graham, Diggs said something to Allen that upset the Pro Bowl quarterback, who responded by telling Diggs “it’s one f—ing game!”
Graham did not include the exchange in his reporting at the time because he was unsure what Diggs had said to Allen. However, in hindsight, Graham believes the incident was indicative that Diggs had already been getting on Allen’s nerves.
Diggs’ absence during the early part of the offseason without much explanation also raised eyebrows, and his brother Trevon even appeared to call out Allen at one point during the 2023 season.
This suggests that Diggs may have worn out his welcome in Buffalo, despite being one of the best wide receivers in the NFL during his time with the Bills.
