The Buffalo Bills have acquired wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a trade from the Minnesota Vikings.
The trade is a massive one for Diggs. Via ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bills sent a first, fifth, sixth, and 2021 fourth-round pick to the Vikings for the wideout and a 2020 seventh-round pick.
Just earlier on Monday, Diggs provided a bit of hint to a possible trade himself. On his Twitter account, Diggs posted a message that said, “something’s going to happen.” His wish has come true.
The 26-year-old is a former fifth-round pick of the Vikings from 2015. Despite that, he’s had production in each of his professional seasons that the Bills have sorely lacked in recent years.
As a rookie, Diggs had 52 catches for 720 yards and four touchdowns. Over the past two seasons, Diggs has surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving plateau. In total, Diggs has 365 catches for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns in his five-year career.
Diggs does come with some baggage, though. He signed a five-year, $72 million deal in 2018. Still, Diggs has expressed a desire to leave the Vikings for sometime. He’s seemingly shown some frustration with quarterback Kirk Cousins in the past, and he’s generally appeared unhappy with the Vikings overall.
