Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has made his first comments since star receiver Stefon Diggs has left.
Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans this offseason in a shocking move. Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane later admitted it was a hard choice, but in the end, felt like it was the right one.
“Anytime you make a move like this, as I said, very difficult, you’re trying to win,” Beane said. “And sometimes people may not see that. This is by no means the Bills giving up or trying to take a step back or anything like that. Everything we do, we’re trying to win.”

The QBs comments were the more awaited ones, though. There was constantly talk of a potential divide behind closed doors between quarterback and receiver when it came to Allen and Diggs.
However, Allen did not take that approach when discussing the wideout leaving. Allen said that it was a tough one as well.
“I can’t thank him enough,” Allen said. “I wish we could keep everybody. We made a lot of changes this offseason.”
