• Before you conjure up any trade destinations for Stefon Diggs, it’s probably important to point out that, for three specific reasons, it’s highly unlikely the Bills even entertain the idea.
One, they’ve leveraged contracts to invest in this year. Josh Allen, Von Miller and Diggs, himself, all had their deals restructured, and free-agent Leonard Floyd did a contract with a base value of $7 million that had void years attached to it—void years that will lead to a dead-money bill in 2024. So taking a team in a position to compete for a championship and robbing it of its top receiver wouldn’t make much sense.
Two, due to the restructure, trading Diggs would put the Bills in an awful spot both cap- and cash-wise. From a cash standpoint, the restructure means Diggs has already earned $22.745 million for this year from Buffalo, which is all of his money, save for a minimum base salary, and about a half million dollars in an offseason workout bonus and per-game roster bonuses.
