Diggs has wanted out of Minnesota for awhile. The writing was essentially on the wall that he wouldn’t be playing there next year.
The only question really was where he would go. It wasn’t if he’d go. It was much more about where his landing spot would be.

Well, now he’s found it, and it’s a good one. The Bills have one of the best young quarterbacks in the league with Josh Allen.
The Bills just provided their young quarterback with a star receiving option, and that could be huge for Josh Allen’s development.
Whenever you can provide your young gunslinger with a star target, you’re likely going to see positive results.
