Nearly a year has passed since Stefon Diggs was traded from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans, marking the end of his four-year run as Buffalo’s No. 1 receiver. The blockbuster trade sent shockwaves through the league, severing what had once been a dynamic partnership between Diggs and star quarterback Josh Allen.
But on Sunday, Diggs reignited speculation about a possible return to Buffalo with a curious social media move—one that Bills fans immediately noticed.
Diggs’ Instagram Activity Fuels Reunion Rumors
In a move that caught the attention of NFL fans and analysts alike, Diggs restored all of his Bills-related photos on Instagram—images that he had previously deleted after being dealt to Houston.
For many players, social media activity isn’t always a direct reflection of their professional plans, but in Diggs’ case, fans couldn’t help but wonder:
Is he hinting at a return to Buffalo?
Does he regret how things ended?
Is this just Diggs being Diggs?
It’s important to remember that as part of last year’s trade, Houston wiped out the final three years of Diggs’ contract, meaning that he is now an unrestricted free agent. That only added more fuel to the fire for fans hoping to see a reunion.

Buffalo’s Complicated Relationship with Diggs
During his four-year tenure with the Bills (2020-2023), Diggs blossomed into one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, earning multiple Pro Bowl nods and an All-Pro selection. His presence transformed Josh Allen from a promising young QB into an elite franchise cornerstone, helping the Bills become perennial Super Bowl contenders.
But while Diggs was an undeniable game-changer, his time in Buffalo wasn’t without controversy. Known for his fiery passion and emotional outbursts, Diggs had several publicized sideline incidents, often showing visible frustration when things weren’t going well.
Some of the key flashpoints in his Buffalo tenure included:
- Storming out of the locker room without speaking to the media after a playoff loss.
- Skipping a mandatory minicamp session in 2023, leading to widespread speculation about his frustration with the team.
- Posting cryptic social media messages that left fans and analysts guessing about his true feelings toward the franchise.
Despite the occasional drama, the Bills tolerated Diggs’ outspoken personality because his production was undeniable. He posted four straight seasons with 100+ receptions and remained a focal point of the offense.
Is a Diggs-Bills Reunion Realistic?
While Diggs’ Instagram activity may have set Bills fans into a frenzy, the reality of a reunion is far from certain.
The Bills moved on last season, handing the reins of the receiving corps to Gabe Davis and emerging young talent. Financially, a return might not be feasible either, given Diggs’ expected price tag on the open market. Additionally, Buffalo’s front office may be hesitant to revisit a relationship that, while productive, ended in frustration on both sides.
Still, never say never in the NFL. If Diggs has a change of heart and the Bills see value in bringing him back, stranger things have happened.
For now, though, Diggs’ Instagram update seems to be nothing more than a nostalgia trip—one that had Bills fans dreaming, debating, and dissecting every possible meaning behind it.
