Well, maybe it's never been in doubt to YOU, but to me it does--and to many others.

 

New team, one going for a championship, and he doesn't show up to work with his teammates and new QB?

 

Shows his arrogance, and knowing Diggs, may already indicate he is upset by something, feels slighted in some way.

 

 

We don’t know all the circumstances on why he isn’t there, but I agree.  If he isn’t missing it due to something important, this is a poor decision.

Bills player misses OTA - who cares its OTA's. Talk to me in September. 

 

Diggs misses OTA's - thank god he is gone. What a bad look. How could anyone do this.

How many Bills players have skipped OTAs that have been traded twice in their prime as stars for being a malcontent?

Yes, we've got to admit that Stephon has been one of the best WR's in the league and was instrumental in Josh's growth as an elite NFL QB.  But, he likes to stir the pot, maintain the drama so that he's the center of attention.  Whether, its staying away from OTA's,  writing cryptic messages on Twitter, or sometimes just remaining silent, so that he keeps people guessing as to what is going on. Right now we don't need that kind of drama.

Poor poor Stefan, so misunderstood and everyone is against him!

Great post and simple to the point, he is a narcissist and not a team player!

really bad take

Stef is what he is, and the Texans know what they are getting.  Great competitor, great receiver, but very questionable teammate and locker room presence.  I'm sure Houston is just hoping to squeeze two years out of him and that he helps aid in Stroud's development the way he did with Josh before "Sour Stef" showed up.

Lets also ignore he has already been working out with Stroud, Dell and some other guys. 

 

If these is true all the preceding over the top hysterical over-reactions are a nearly moot point.

 

Fact is posters here WANT it to be true.

they voided all of steve's future years into 2024 and only have him under contract for this year.

 

He is going to save another franchise in 2025.

BS it is what it is try laying some facts and leave the hero worship at home

Classic addition by subtraction for the Bills.

 

I will always love what he did to help change the culture of this team, and make Allen what he is today - but see ya, Diggsy.  The last 2 years, you have been an underperforming, over-talking & tweeting distraction (and your bro, as well).  Looking forward to watching you undermine another contender's chances.

Who cares about this guy anymore....... I sure don't care what he does any more.

 

The door has been closed on this guy.

The problem with Diggs is that is his attitude as well. First, since he didn’t go, we don’t know if it affected his play. But much importantly, there are young receivers on that team that could use “leadership” from a guy like him. But he has always been about himself, playing dress up, and posting weird ***** on Instagram. Minnesota fans warned us. We didn’t listen. 
 

Don’t forget that Stroud is 22 years old. He’s a kid. When Stef doesn’t get 87 targets in week one, I’m sure he’ll have a mature and level headed reaction. 

 

Sure, but it was still a good trade in hindsight. The "Minnesota fans warned us. We didn’t listen." argument never really resonates for me, jmo. I also think Diggs will be on his best behavior all year this year. It's year 1 on a new team.

BTW that 2nd rounder Beane got is looking better every day.

Want to know how much OTAs matter? McDermott canceled the last day and sent the players on field trips. They are absolutely meaningless for veterans.

Jmo of course, but if you’re trying to gel a real brotherhood together (that’s willing to go to the ends of the earth for one another) for the new season, you do what it takes and that includes all of the extra  stuff like OTA’s where groundwork/expectations and overall camaraderie starts. Given the roster churn every year, it’s just one of those things you gotta do! Otherwise aren’t you telegraphing a vibe of I’m better than everyone else who shows up? Again, jmo.

Honestly I like your fire everybody posts better; not the point regarding OTAs and value, TEAM EVENT/TEAM EVENT/TEAM EVENT!!!!!! And the two of us have all ready gone round and round - Stefan Diggs is not even on the same planet as Andre Reed. I guess his 1000 yard seasons did not help in the clutch the last half of 2023!

Exactly, still a team sport and you need that! Great post!
