Stefon Diggs #14 of the Buffalo Bills
Amidst the NFL offseason, talks about Stefon Diggs, the standout wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, are still circulating. Recently, Diggs posted some mysterious messages on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), sparking rumors about a possible trade.

Considering the Bills’ efforts to manage their tight salary cap situation by making cuts and restructuring contracts, it wouldn’t be surprising if they decided to trade Diggs. Additionally, Diggs’ performance declined in the latter half of the 2023 season, raising questions about his future with the team.
If Buffalo were to trade Diggs after June 1, they could save around $19 million in cap space for 2024 but would incur $8.8 million in dead money. Here are three teams that could be interested in the 30-year-old receiver:
1. Arizona Cardinals: Trading for Diggs would give the Cardinals flexibility with their fourth overall pick in the upcoming draft. They have ample cap space and could benefit from adding a proven receiver to support their quarterback, especially after Marquise Brown’s departure.
2. Houston Texans: With a desire to maximize the value of their quarterback C.J. Stroud’s contract, the Texans may be interested in acquiring Diggs to bolster their offense. They’ve already shown aggressiveness in the offseason and could view Diggs as a valuable addition.
3. New York Giants: The Giants, led by head coach Brian Daboll who previously worked with Diggs in Buffalo, could be interested in reuniting with the receiver. Although Diggs may not replicate his Bills’ success with the Giants due to their quarterback situation, he could still provide valuable support and experience to aid in the development of a rookie quarterback.
