Sometimes, a change of scenery can make a world of difference — especially for NFL stars. 

Two-time All-Pro Stefon Diggs appeared to be a player who could benefit from some new surroundings heading into the 2024 season. 

Although he agreed to a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the Buffalo Bills in 2022, Diggs soon appeared to grow unhappy with his situation in Western New York. It eventually became obvious that the Bills and Diggs were headed toward a divorce. The standout wide receiver is now breaking his silence on how his breakup with the Bills came to fruition.

"Last year, I was in the worst mental space I've been in since I've been in the league," Diggs told GQ Sports. "If I'm not in a good space, obviously that's not the best for me. So that's when things had to start shaking out."

Diggs' 2023 campaign got off to a promising start. He recorded at least 100 receiving yards in five of the first six games of the season, but he ended the year on a much more pedestrian pace. Diggs only managed to surpass the 80 yards receiving mark on two occasions over the last 11 weeks of the regular season.
