FRISCO: The players themselves claim that rumors of friction between quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs of the Buffalo Bills are overblown.

Diggs recently remarked, “Yeah, I mean, I (said in) interview after interview I wanted to retire a Bill,” adding that Allen is “my brother.” …

You ask yourself, “Where did it come from?” when you hear a lot of stories and the like. Do you understand what I mean?”

So, what is the source of this “rumor” about Buffalo’s intentions? It originates from an ESPN “analysis,” which naturally includes the Dallas Cowboys.

Talk about the possibility of dealing Diggs has persisted over the first few weeks of the offseason. Would a Super Bowl club be wise to acquire Diggsm window? Is Dallas that team?

ESPN’s audacious offseason moves column suggests that dealing Diggs could require cutting a player before it’s too late. According to Aaron Schatz, it would be irresponsible to ignore the statistically significant decrease in productivity during the second half.

Schatz stated, “His decline in the second half of the season might be an even bigger warning sign.” Diggs had a 14% DVOA, a 72% catch rate, and an average depth of target of 11.3 yards in Weeks 1 through 9. Diggs had a 59% catch percentage and a minus-21% DVOA from Week 10 onward, but his average depth of target was only 9.7 yards.

Shorter passes typically result in a better catch rate. Not with Diggs, and not since the beginning of November, either.

Thus, Buffalo ought to let go of Diggs, but they should also probably to lose Gabe Davis, the other starting receiver, to upcoming free agency?

Diggs’ release with a post-June 1 designation makes more sense for the Bills than it did previously since it would free up $19 million in salary space in addition to a $8.8 million dead cap charge. However, it also implies that the move would take place after the NFL Draft, meaning the selection or picks that were traded would be for 2025.

How does that assist the Bills, who are playing for a Super Bowl? What about his upcoming squad? On March 18, his $18.5 million paycheck is guaranteed. His new team will thus need to acquire that contract in addition to making a trade sacrifice.

Trevon of the Cowboys, Stefon’s brother, would undoubtedly adore the concept. In fact, when Stefon queries, “Where did that rumor originate?,” Trevon, who enjoys tweeting stuff like, “We need Cowboys Nation to go and help and tweet to get bro here,” is mostly responsible for it. Everyone must be aware of this. We must make it known that we must get our brother to Dallas.

The Cowboys’ receivers room, led by CeeDee Lamb, certainly needs some assistance.

However, as Stefon approaches his age-31 season, Rather than allying with his real brother, Josh Allen, his “brother,” appears to be his best option. It appears that the Bills feel the same way.

Recently, Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane declared, “Stef’s, he’s a No. 1 receiver.” “I don’t budge from my deep belief in it.
