Since the beginning of the off-season, the major question surrounding the Buffalo Bills was what happened between Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs. Allen’s relationship with his now-former receiver was the talk of the NFL world. Now after all this while, the star quarterback finally breaks his silence.

With NFL teams going into their first round of media interviews, all eyes and ears were waiting for Josh Allen. Naturally, the question regarding Diggs happened to be the one everyone wanted to hear.

It's definitely hard to part ways with a guy that's been very instrumental in our success here over the last four years. 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 don't get paid to make changes on the team. Josh Allen said

Allen was clear that Stefon Diggs was a huge reason he has blossomed into one of the best players at his position. He was appreciative of what Diggs has done for him over the years. But insisted that he had nothing to do with his receiver’s exit.

Stefon Diggs helped Allen unlock his full potential during the 4 years he caught Allen’s passes in Buffalo. How else could one explain the 7th overall pick throwing over for over 4000 yards in every season Diggs was his primary receiver.
