Stefon Diggs Breaks Silence on Buffalo Bills Controversy: 'Sounds & Sh**!'
Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs has broken his silence regarding his mandatory minicamp controversy with a pair of posts on social media that largely amount to nothing more than sound and fury ... and additional questions about said controversy.
“I just be letting people cap,'' Diggs first wrote on Instagram. "If them lies help you sleep better tell em big dawg.”
None of that, unfortunately, offers any clarification regarding whether Diggs was at the facility (he apparently was), whether Diggs worked out with the team (he did not), or whether he wants more money, whether he wants more targets or whether he wants a trade out of Buffalo. (None of those three ideas, by the way, are viable. And that includes the fantasy hookup with brother Trevon of the Dallas Cowboys.)
Or, we should add in fairness, whether he is dealing with a serious family matter. Or a flat tire. Or the dog ate his homework.
Was Diggs interested in explaining who is "capping,'' who is "lying'' and who is the offending "big dawg''? He was not, though he did post a second message on his Instagram story.
The second note reads: “My phone been silent for like 6 years. Ion play all them sounds and sh**.”
So while the Bills and their fans wait for real answers, coach Sean McDermott said he’s “very concerned” about Diggs’s absence. (Is McDermott the "big dawg'' in question?) Defensive leader Von Miller said, "I support Stef!'' ... though Miller, like most of the rest of us, doesn't seem to know exactly what movement it is that he's supporting.
And quarterback Josh Allen? It seems it is left to him to try to pull this thing together, or at least to put a happy face on it.
“Internally, we’re working on some things,'' Allen said as part of a 12-minute press conference that, unfortunately for him, was all about ... not him. "Not football-related. Stef, he’s my guy. I f***** love him. He’s a brother of mine. This does not work, what we’re doing here, without him.”
All of that can be true. But that doesn't change the fact that Diggs' drama - the same sort of shenanigans that allowed him to escape Minnesota and to land in Buffalo - might be best cleared up with some simple and straight-forward conversation.
It is therefore ironic that in part of Allen's attempt to support his "brother,'' the quarterback touched on what might be the issue.
“I think as an organization, maybe not communicating the right way with everything,” Allen said.
"Communicating the right way''? Or just "playing all them sounds and sh**''?
