Add Stefon Diggs to the ranks of the Buffalo Bills who want Odell Beckham Jr. in the fold.
Previously, Von Miller campaigned for the free-agent wide receiver to join the squad. Now, Diggs is on board, explaining his reasoning to Complex.
“I feel like he’s a great teammate,” Diggs said. “I don’t live in the world of social media or anything like that, but I feel like he’s hands-down one of the best players in the league, especially when he’s been healthy. He’s a great teammate, and it’s not just that adding him would be helpful – he’s a great player and great person.
“We have a lot of talent on this offense but as a team, you’re always thinking about adding the right people, and he definitely fits that mold. If he does come, that would be great; but if he doesn’t, it’s OK, it won’t be the end of the world.”
Diggs presumably observed that Cooper Kupp performed excellently across from Beckham in Los Angeles last season. As Beckham got acclimated to the Rams’ offense, both wideouts flourished and were key contributors in the team’s Super Bowl win in February. Kupp was the AP Offensive Player of the Year and the Super Bowl MVP.
Miller, who was also part of the Rams’ championship roster last season, signed a six-year $120 million deal with the Bills in free agency. He too has been lobbying for pal Beckham to join him in Buffalo.
“The door is open for him to come to the Bills,” Miller said on the “Pat McAfee Show” earlier this month. “Him coming here would really be the icing on the cake and would really put us over the top.”
Beckham tore his ACL in the Super Bowl and it is unclear exactly when he will be able to return.
His success with the Rams helped rebuild his stock after he forced his way out of the Cleveland Browns in the middle of last season.
