What Vikings HC said about new Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs
‘“Honestly, Diggs did not have to go,” Zimmer said. “We really didn’t have any intention of trading him. Quite honestly, he put out a couple tweets, and there were some things going on there. But Stefon worked extremely hard. He practices like crazy. He wants the ball like all receivers do. Really, what happened was, Buffalo came in and gave us all those picks. And we were up against it in the salary cap. So we just felt like we could save some money, get a bunch of picks, maybe get a young receiver like (Justin Jefferson) that we got. So, I wish him well. He’s a good kid. He worked hard for me.”’
