ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen said Thursday that he can’t thank Stefon Diggs enough for “for when he came in and how hard he worked and what he taught me along the years.”
Allen said Diggs “meant a lot” to him since the Bills traded for the star wide receiver in 2020. The quarterback also noted multiple times that the trade opens opportunities for other players to step up.
“It’s definitely hard to part ways with a guy that’s been very instrumental in our success here over the last four years,” Allen said. “… Obviously, I wish we can keep everybody. You know, we’ve made a lot of changes this offseason, lost a lot of veteran leadership, Stef being one of them. I guess that’s the nature of the business. And going into Year 7 now, it’s just kind of is what it is. I don’t get paid to make changes on the team. I get paid to be the best quarterback that I can be and try to lead the guys on this team.”
