Former Buffalo Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman told Fox News Digital that the trade of Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans confused him for one reason.
The Buffalo Bills agreed to trade Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans on Wednesday in a deal that stunned the NFL world with the thick of the offseason in the rearview. But former Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman told Fox News Digital he wasn’t surprised the Bills traded away the top wide receiver.
wasn’t shocked. I wasn’t shocked at all,' the three-time Pro Bowler said, pointing to a post on X he made joking that Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti should have been waiting outside Diggs’ house to lure him to the AFC North team. 'I said that because there’s been a lot of turmoil in the offseason, a lot of back and forth, a lot of drama and I just felt like at some point in time it’s best for the player and the organization to part ways.
If I’m the Giants, and that’s a real opportunity, and the Buffalo Bills are even open to talking to me about it and not just saying no and hanging up the phone on me, I would offer them two first-round picks immediately and any future draft picks and maybe a player or two. I would throw the house if I was the Giants if that’s a possibility of happening.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
