"I wasn’t shocked. I wasn’t shocked at all," the three-time Pro Bowler said, pointing to a post on X he made joking that Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti should have been waiting outside Diggs’ house to lure him to the AFC North team.

"I said that because there’s been a lot of turmoil in the offseason, a lot of back and forth, a lot of drama and I just felt like at some point in time it’s best for the player and the organization to part ways.

"Now, what I am confused on is what the Buffalo Bills got for Stefon Diggs. Stefon Diggs is still a top wide receiver in the league, and I say the Texans won this trade hands down. The Buffalo Bills didn’t get anywhere close to what they should have gotten for Stefon Diggs. So, that part didn’t make any sense at all."
