The Buffalo Bills traded wide reciever Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans on Wednesday morning ruffling the feathers of the football world. It's also not the first time that it's happened, as the Minnesota Vikings traded him to the Bills in March of 2020.
While the official reason for the trade hasn't been revealed yet, deductive reasoning is that they moved on from Diggs due to his behavior. The Bills did eat a dead cap hit of over $31 million to move on from him.
The move also signaled that the Bills might be making a move for a receiver within the next three weeks. The NFL Draft is loaded with wide receiver talent across the board for them to pick from. One player that has come up in discussions is Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
The NFL world has continuously tried to make Jefferson available for trade despite general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah outright denying they had even considered trading him. That hasn't stopped fans and analysts a like as they continue to try and manifest a trade.
Right now it looks wild what the #Bills did trading Stefon Diggs, but what's the follow-up move?

Are they making a massive trade-up in round 1? They trading for Tee Higgins? Justin Jefferson? Another big sexy name?
That'll be the interesting next thing to watch because right…
