Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was reportedly "detrimental" to the atmosphere of the team as well as quarterback Josh Allen.

"The coach and GM [Brandon Beane] had the foresight to get rid of the receiver [Stefon Diggs] because they knew it was detrimental to the quarterback and the atmosphere," an opposing coach told Mike Sando of The Athletic. "All of sudden, they are playing with Curtis Samuel and draft picks and just whatever, and the quarterback is playing good. And then they add Amari Cooper."

Diggs made Pro Bowl appearances in each season with the Bills from 2020-23 before he was traded to the Houston Texans in April.
