Buffalo Bills should reunite with former star to help Josh Allen

Like the Buffalo Bills, my time is like a toddler in a tiera – short and precious. So I’m just going to say it. The Buffalo Bills should bring Stefon Diggs back. Yes, the relationship ended badly. Yes, there was obvious tension. And yes, revisiting an old partnership can look like a team admitting it never truly replaced what it lost. That does not make the football argument wrong.

Josh Allen

Josh Allen has spent two seasons working around a receiving group that has never fully replaced Diggs’ route running, competitiveness or ability to command coverage. Buffalo has added the presumed WR1 (Moore), but the Bills still enter camp asking too many projection-based questions at wide receiver. Diggs would answer one of them immediately.

He is 32 and no longer the player who produced four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in Buffalo. But he is coming off another 1,000-yard year, remains unsigned, and has made clear that he believes he can still be a high-level No. 2 receiver. Check his latest tweet on the subject – seriously. 

What Buffalo needs

The Bills would not be asking Diggs to dominate the offense. They would be asking him to win underneath, separate against man coverage, and give Allen a trusted target when a play breaks down. He already understands the quarterback. He understands the city. Most importantly, he understands the pressure surrounding this team.

Of course, there would be risk. Old frustrations do not disappear because both sides need something. Joe Brady and Brandon Beane would have to be convinced that the reunion would not become a weekly distraction. But Buffalo should be mature enough to handle that.

The Bills are still trying to win a Super Bowl during Allen’s prime. They should not reject a useful player simply because the breakup was uncomfortable. Diggs is available. Buffalo still needs another proven receiver. Sometimes the obvious reunion is obvious for a reason.
