In a stunning development, the Buffalo Bills are reportedly in serious talks to bring back Stefon Diggs—now a Houston Texans superstar—in what could be one of the most shocking trades of the NFL offseason. If completed, this move would instantly make the Bills’ offense unstoppable, pairing Josh Allen with his former favorite target once again.
However, the biggest hurdle? The “absurd” price Diggs is reportedly demanding.
Diggs’ Shocking Asking Price Revealed
Sources close to the negotiations claim that Stefon Diggs is asking for a contract that would make him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in NFL history. According to insiders, Diggs is demanding:
-
A 4-year, $120 million extension ($30M per year)
-
At least $85 million guaranteed
-
A no-trade clause ensuring he controls his future
-
A QB input clause—meaning he wants a say in any quarterback decisions
These demands have reportedly stunned Buffalo’s front office, with one executive calling them “borderline insane” given Diggs’ age (he turns 31 this season) and the Bills’ already tight salary cap.
“Buffalo loves Diggs, but they’re not about to mortgage their future on a receiver who’s already had friction with the team in the past,” an anonymous league source stated.
Why Would Buffalo Bring Diggs Back?
Despite the financial challenges, the Bills are still considered the frontrunners because of Diggs’ undeniable chemistry with Josh Allen. When paired together from 2020 to 2023, Diggs helped Allen become an elite quarterback, and the Bills consistently had one of the most explosive offenses in the league.
With Buffalo losing Gabe Davis in free agency and lacking a true No. 1 WR, some insiders believe that Allen himself may be pushing the front office to reunite with Diggs.
“Josh Allen has made it clear he wants more weapons, and there’s no better option than the guy who already knows the system,” said one NFL analyst.
What’s Houston’s Stance?
The Houston Texans, who acquired Diggs in a blockbuster trade from Buffalo earlier this offseason, reportedly aren’t opposed to moving him again—but only for the right price.
Texans GM Nick Caserio is said to be demanding at least a first-round pick and additional draft compensation for Diggs, making a trade even more complex for Buffalo.
“Houston isn’t desperate to move him, but if they get a strong offer, they’ll consider it,” said an AFC executive.
Fan Reactions: Buffalo Torn on Diggs’ Return
As expected, fans have been divided on the potential return of Stefon Diggs to Buffalo.
-
“I love Diggs, but $120M at 31 years old? No way.”
-
“If we get Diggs back, Josh Allen is winning MVP next season!”
-
“We need weapons, but not at that price. Get someone younger!”
-
“Bring him home. Whatever it takes. This offense would be unstoppable!”
What Happens Next?
Buffalo’s front office now faces a massive decision: Do they break the bank to bring Diggs back, or do they look elsewhere for offensive firepower?
For now, the Bills remain the frontrunners, but unless Diggs lowers his contract demands, this blockbuster reunion may never happen.
