The Facts: The Diggs situation is developing some clarity. On Tuesday, HC Sean McDermott said Diggs was not present for mandatory minicamp. Then, Diggs’s agent said the player is in Buffalo and will be present for all of minicamp. The two versions obviously don’t mesh. We asked the Bills for clarification. According to the team, Diggs was present on Monday and on Tuesday morning. The Bills say Diggs left before the start of Tuesday’s practice.
Diehards Line:
So that’s where it stands, according to the Bills. As NFL.com suggests, it's not uncommon for some players to decline to attend minicamp, both in excused and unexcused fashion, but Diggs' decision to miss Tuesday's practice doesn't quite fit the typical categories. Diggs is in Year 2 of a $96 million extension, and he's the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver in Buffalo. The question, then, is why isn't Diggs at minicamp? "I'm not gonna get into," McDermott said. "... Look, I respect everyone's questions and what they want to know about our team. Right now, I'm just not gonna get into that anymore. ..." We obviously haven't heard the last of this one. So stay tuned.
