Recently, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs didn’t participate on the first day of his team’s mandatory minicamp.
It led to reports that he was supposedly upset with quarterback Josh Allen, especially after he allegedly stormed out of the locker room after the team got rolled by the Cincinnati Bengals, 27-10, in the divisional round of the playoffs last season.
But Allen says that people are making too much of the supposed beef between him and Diggs and the media blew everything out of proportion, per Dov Kleiman.

A Boston Globe report a few weeks ago said Diggs is unhappy with his role in Buffalo’s offense and his lack of influence in which plays are called.
There is no doubt that if the Bills are to finally win their first Super Bowl championship, they will need a happy and productive Diggs.
He is undoubtedly one of the game’s best wideouts, and he has taken his game to a higher level ever since arriving in upstate New York.
He was already a good player in his first five NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, but over the last three years in Buffalo, he has surpassed the 1,400-receiving-yard mark twice and has been named to the Pro Bowl each season.
In 2022, he posted 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he was the major reason the team finished seventh in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns.
On the defensive side of the football, the Bills are hoping the addition of linebacker Leonard Floyd will patch up a sometimes-porous pass defense.
But a large share of their fortunes rest of the shoulders of Diggs.
