Stefon Diggs Clears The Air: 'Only Focus Is Winning'

Jul 27, 2023 9:02 AM

There has been a lot of speculation in recent weeks about whether or not Stefon Diggs is unhappy with the Buffalo Bills.

As the Bills kicked off training camp on Wednesday, Diggs attempted to clear the air about his happiness with the team and relationship with his teammates and coaches.

Diggs called the issues and conversations that led to his absence from one mandatory minicamp practice in June a "family matter" and said it was all "water under the bridge."

"I've been in the league going on my ninth year here right now. I've got more football behind me than I do in front of me. My main focus and my only focus is winning. Super Bowls. I mean everybody says they want a Super Bowl, but we've had legitimate chances at this thing," Diggs said. "... We've had everything that we needed. As far as us not getting over the hump, I feel like it's always asked for or cause for a conversation. And I always wanted to have a conversation. And we have an open-door policy. Coach [Sean McDermott] will tell you he has an open-door policy. And I've had those conversations.

"I try to keep a lot of things in-house. But regarding last year, obviously, the way we lost [in the playoffs to the Cincinnati Bengals] was just terrible in any regard. You don't want to lose any game. But we've lost for a couple of years at this point. We've been trying to get over the hump. And obviously it's cause for a lot of frustration. But all in all, as far as with that, I was here, but me and [McDermott] did have a conversation."

Bills' Ron Raccuia Out After Leading Stadium Talks

Jul 20, 2023 9:09 AM

Ron Raccuia, who played the lead role in negotiating Buffalo's new $1.54 billion stadium deal, is out as the Bills' top executive.

In saying the sides had parted ways, owner Terry Pegula cited a monthslong evaluation of the team's business side in determining a need to "revamp and improve our structure."

As part of the shakeup, Pegula announced John Roth will assume Raccuia's titles as executive vice president and COO.

Roth will now split his duties between the Bills and the Pegula-owned Buffalo Sabres, where he has served as the NHL team's COO after being hired in January.

Josh Allen: Media Blew Stefon Diggs Situation Out Of Proportion

Jul 5, 2023 8:28 AM

Josh Allen says Stefon Diggs' absence from the first day of the Buffalo Bills' mandatory minicamp practice was not as big a deal as it was made out to be.

"I love him. That's my guy," Allen said of Diggs on Bussin With the Boys. "The media has blown this so far out of proportion . We are in minicamp. We're not playing a game for four months. He doesn’t show up for one day, he's still there, coach asked him to go home, they're in talks, they're trying to resolve some things. They're still talking about it. Let it go. There's no reason to continue talking about it."

At the time, Sean McDermott said he was "very concerned" about Diggs' absence from minicamp.
