Stefon Issues Trade ‘Warning’ – But Message Should Be For Cowboys’ Brother Trevon

Bills Star Stefon Diggs Issues Trade ‘Warning’ – But Message Should Be for Dallas Cowboys’ Brother Trevon

Mike Fisher

FRISCO – Buffalo Bills receiver Stefon Diggs is, to put a very fine and sharp point on it, “warning” his critics about discussions about the unsavory brew of trade rumors mixed with family business.

“Obviously,” Stefon said, trying to douse the flames of his supposed disgruntlement with the Bills, “people kind of handle things however they want. But tread lightly when you’re talking about my family.”

Powerful stuff. But as Stefon is essentially telling the random gossips to “shut up” … shouldn’t the person who is most in need of heeding the “warning be his own “my family” member – brother Trevon Diggs of the Dallas Cowboys?

Diggs is having to reiterate his commitment to the Bills even as they flounder about at 5-5 … but his movement isn’t forced by irresponsible media or goofy fans.

Stefon, THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!”

This all (re-)started, complete with the notion that Stefon wants to leave Buffalo for Dallas (either by pouting his way into getting cut bow or by being traded next offseason) because Trevon brought it up in a series of very public social media posts.

This naturally churned up a revival of previous dramatic chapters regarding Stefon’s level of unhappiness with his employers. (And there have been a novella full of chapters).

Stefon’s four-year $96 million contract likely means he’s staying in Buffalo for the foreseeable future. His own words indicate the same. So maybe he should share those same words not just with the media in Buffalo but also with his IR’ed brother in Dallas

“I haven’t had a personal conversation with him,” Stefon said. “My brother is watching football right now. He’s not playing too much. Obviously, he’s coming from more of a fan perspective, but that is my family. … i handle my family with the utmost respect …”

Ah, but alas, Stefon, you are not “handling your family.” Rather, you are chiding the media for doing its right thing …. When your time would be better-spent chiding brother Trevon for openly discussing a Bills problem that you insist does not exist.

If that is indeed true, Stefon – that you aren’t plotting an escape from the Bills so you can land with the Cowboys?

Don’t wrap the message in a “warning” and tell it to me; pick up the phone and tell it your brother.
