Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane was asked at Tuesday’s postseason press conference if he still believes Stefon Diggs is the No. 1 player after Diggs finished this season with a minor setback.andquot;He is the first recipient,andquot; Beane answered directly, as did Pro Football Talk’s Josh Alper. andquot;I firmly believe that. I have no hesitation about that.andquot;Diggsand#039; alleged frustration with his role in the offense repeatedly made headlines last offseason, but Beane insisted in early August that he was never close to being traded for the 30-year-old, despite reports suggesting otherwise..
Diggs was later named team captain, and ESPN statistics show him to be seventh in the NFL with 107 receptions, 13th with 1,183 receptions and eighth with eight regular-season catches.But Diggs recorded his final touchdown of the campaign in Buffalo’s Week 12 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles. He was also responsible for a costly fourth-quarter fumble in the club’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday..
Via Ryan Oand#039;Halloran of the Buffalo News Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that the team is not facing a situation where it is stripped down to the studs and restarted.andquot;So McDermott and company will likely need Diggs to play at a Pro Bowl level after November 2024 as the club looks to make next January’s #039;AFC Championship Game..
