Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been absent from the team's three-day mini-camp, raising questions about his future with the team and his relationship with the organization.
Coach Sean McDermott expressed his concern over Diggs' absence, stating that "when players miss, particularly a player of Stef's caliber, you'd love to have a player like that here." McDermott did not provide any further details on the situation, but the absence of the team's star wide receiver has left many fans and analysts wondering about the reason behind it.
Diggs, who joined the Bills in a trade from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, skipped the entire offseason program this year, including the voluntary sessions held prior to the mini-camp. This has led to speculation about his contract and potential unhappiness with the team, despite being the fifth-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL.
The Bills are unable to trade Diggs due to his dead cap hit, which has added to the confusion surrounding his absence. The team will be hoping for his return as they look to build on their strong performances from last season and make a push for the Super Bowl.
Diggs has been an impressive performer for the Bills, totaling 1,200-plus receiving yards in each of his three seasons with the team and connecting with quarterback Josh Allen on 338 completions over the past three seasons, the most for any quarterback-receiver duo in the NFL since 2020.
As of now, it remains unclear whether Diggs will attend the remainder of the mini-camp, which is scheduled to continue on Wednesday and Thursday. The Bills will undoubtedly be hoping for his presence, as they look to build chemistry and prepare for the upcoming season.
