Insider reveals update on relationship between Stefon Diggs, Bills

The Buffalo Bills reportedly believe they have made amends with Pro Bowl wideout Stefon Diggs.

"I know the Bills had closed-door meetings with important people there with Diggs," Jeremy Fowler of ESPN said Monday on "The Rich Eisen Show." "I do sense that things were positive. I'm told the Bills fully expect him for training camp. They do believe they have this resolved."

Buffalo expecting Diggs to be a full participant in training camp is a good sign because it shows the Bills are starting to mend the relationship with the 29-year-old, who did not participate throughout OTAs and on the first day of mandatory mini-camp.

Fowler also noted that he thinks Diggs and Allen had a "meaningful conversation" during mini-camp.

The discussion between the duo is imperative since questions about their chemistry arose in a 27-10 defeat to the Bengals in the divisional round. The WR waved his arms at the QB in a chilly sideline interaction during the loss.

Diggs explained his frustration with the QB stemmed from the Bills veering away from what made them one of the league's top teams early in the season.

"I felt like during the first nine weeks of the season, we kind of had a recipe for winning, and we got away from it on the back end," the WR said in a Super Bowl week appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show."

In the last five games of the season, the Bills only targeted Diggs 35 times compared to 119 through their first 12 games. In the loss to Cincinnati, he only had four receptions for 35 yards, so his discontent is valid.

Regardless, it's good that the Bills are starting to repair their relationship with Diggs because he's a critical piece who can help the organization win its first championship.
