it’s not goobye but see you again Buffalo HC just announced his departure

Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has expressed doubts over his future in Buffalo while participating in the Pro Bowl Games in Las Vegas.

Diggs’ future has come under question in Buffalo several times during recent years, largely due to his frustrations with the team being repeatedly eliminated from the postseason.

And following their Divisional Round defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs last month, the wide receiver has thrown his future with the Bills into doubt.

‘I feel like I take it day by day,’ he told reporters at the Pro Bowl. ‘Obviously, there’s a lot of changes going on, a lot of things going on.

‘I can’t really put the carriage before the horse, you know what I’m saying? But I got a great offseason in front of me to put a lot of work in and kind of build around what we got and what we’re doing.

‘I can’t tell you what the future holds, but I’m still being me.’

Diggs had last spoken with reporters before the Bills’ AFC Wild Card Round win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After being asked if he was prepared to move forward with the team, he said: ‘I’m ready to go no matter which way it goes.’

Diggs ended the regular season with 107 receptions, 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns.

During the playoff loss to the Chiefs, Diggs registered just three catches for 21 yards. That performance was his least productive game of the season after he dropped a critical 60-yard pass during the fourth quarter that likely would have changed the outcome of the game.

‘I’ve been in the league for a long time. Obviously, even as players, some plays we want back and some plays I want back, especially at the end of the game. But it’s not much you can do about it,’ he said after the Chiefs game.

‘Now, here as you take a couple of weeks to decompress and think about it, things could have been better. But [I’m] kind of rolling with the punches and moving forward.’

Diggs currently has a salary cap hit of $27.354 million next season and three years remaining on the four-year contract extension he signed with the team in 2022.

Bills general manager Brandon Beane spoke glowingly about the wideout during a recent press conference.

‘We have to continue to put weapons out there to keep teams from bracketing him or locking him down in different ways to take him away,’ Beane said.

 ‘Stef can still play. I’m sure he would love to have that deep ball again. He’d be the first to tell you. He’s super competitive. He’s going to work his tail off this offseason.

‘I know there’s various reasons or questions on this or his production, but I still see Stef as a No. 1 receiver.’

 

 

Head coach Sean McDermott turns to experience in naming Bills’ newest linebackers coach

On Friday, February 2, the Buffalo Bills announced a pair of coaching moves. Following a promotion for Bobby Babich who is now the team’s defensive coordinator, One Bills Drive was in search of a new linebackers coach.

The Bills today filled that role by naming Al Holcomb as the new linebackers coach. Holcomb spent the 2023 season as senior defensive assistant with Buffalo’s defense under head coach Sean McDermott. He brings extensive experience as a football coach, having spent 14 years each at both the collegiate level and within the NFL.
