Stefon Diggs left the Buffalo Bills due to a combination of on-field struggles, a diminished role in the offense, and off-field personal challenges that affected his mental state during his final year with the team. Despite a strong start to the 2023 season, Diggs faced reduced targets and production as the season progressed, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. Buffalo's offensive focus shifted, resulting in fewer opportunities for Diggs, which contributed to a tense relationship and eventual trade to the Houston Texans in April 2024. The Bills also prioritized resetting the team's culture around quarterback Josh Allen and gaining future salary cap flexibility and draft capital. Diggs sought a fresh start after feeling he wasn't being utilized effectively, which ultimately led to his departure from Buffalo.
