Twitter was in utter disbelief to hear one more wide receiver grabbing a lucrative deal this offseason. After Stefon Diggs signed a contract extension with the Buffalo Bills, fans were keen to react to the news. Despite having two more years with the team, Diggs was given an extension for four years on Monday.

Last year, the Bills quarterback Josh Allen was given a contract extension. The deal ties him through the 2028 season. Diggs receiving a similar deal makes him a permanent member of the club for the upcoming six seasons in the league.

The Buffalo Bills made a clever move by keeping their star wide receiver for a long time at a more affordable price as compared to his counterparts in the league. This will help the franchise build a strong team surrounding the Allen-Diggs partnership for the upcoming seasons.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bills reached an agreement with Stefon Diggs for a four-year, $104 million extension that includes a $70 million guaranteed salary cap. This contract made Diggs hop into the second spot after Tyreek Hill in terms of guaranteed money concerning their corresponding contracts.
