When the Buffalo Bills sign a player, they rarely extend that player’s deal before they are entering a contract year. They’ve only done it a few times under general manager Brandon Beane.
With Stefon Diggs, it’s different. They didn’t sign Diggs to his deal, they traded for it and inherited the contract from the Minnesota Vikings. It’s hard to argue Diggs wasn’t underpaid by the time 2022 rolled around, mainly because he signed a five-year (six total years) while with the Vikings. He was only scheduled to make between $12 and $13 million in 2022 and 2023 when top receivers were signing deals for twice that number.
