Stefon Diggs has sparked some concern in Houston this offseason following an unexpected decision. 

The wide receiver isn’t with the Buffalo Bills anymore, but his offseason behavior hasn’t changed all that much, as it appears to be a case of deja vu for him ahead of his first season in Texas.

Diggs was traded earlier this year, having fallen into disenchantment with the Bills franchise over a year ago. He was a subject of speculation after skipping their OTAs and has prompted some more this year, having opted out of the first round of optional practices with the Texans.

There was plenty of concern regarding Stefon Diggs’s choice to skip optional activities in Buffalo in 2023. He had already expressed a desire to be elsewhere after remonstrating with quarterback Josh Allen on the field during a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs.

He skipped all optional practices and was sent home by head coach Sean McDermott on the first day of mandatory minicamp. He returned the following day, and there were no more issues after that.

His production on the field wasn’t as great, however.

 

Stefon Diggs Brought A Familiar Feeling Back

While Diggs isn’t required to attend the first set of practices with his new team unless he wants to, his decision is a curious one.

“That said, it’s simply a bit nostalgic—and hilarious—to read that he’s already missed an OTA practice. It’s deja vu all over again,” Sports Illustrated’s Kyle Silagyi wrote last week.

“If you hear a faint noise in the distance, it may be the collective “well, well, well” emitting from homes across Western New York,” he also joked.

While veteran players skipping OTA’s is not uncommon, fans could be forgiven for expecting Diggs to be keen on developing chemistry with his new teammates.

REPORT: Stefon Diggs’ Brother Receives Stiff Sentence For His Role In Brutal Elevator Attack

Stefon Diggs’ brother, Darez, has received his punishment after he was caught on camera appearing to orchestrate an attack in an elevator.

Darez Diggs, the brother of Houston Texans star wide receiver Stefon Diggs and current Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, has been sentenced to two years probation for his involvement in a brutal elevator attack. He will also be required to perform 20 hours of community service.

The attack went down in Los Angeles in 2023 and was seemingly orchestrated by Darez.

The former XFL player was seen in footage from the L.A. apartment complex meeting a man outside of an elevator. The man was eventually identified as Christopher Griffith, and it appeared that they spoke briefly. With his hands, Darez is seen trying to stop the elevator doors from shutting while Griffith tries to depart.

Then, two other men, who seemed to be accompanying Darez, came into the elevator and started attacking Griffith. The former XFL star watched as Darez’s entourage beat and dragged the person across the floor.

Following Griffith’s dragging into the building’s lobby, Stefon Diggs’ brother and the other two attackers took personal items from the victim, which allegedly contained “diamonds and other jewelry,” police told TMZ Sports last year.

Following their seizure of the bag, which was purportedly filled with goods valued at $100,000, they persisted in their assault on Griffith, who has filed a civil suit against Diggs, claiming “pain, suffering, and emotional distress.”

Stefon Diggs has not stated a single word publicly since his brother, Darez, was embroiled in a legal battle that ultimately made him avoid jail time.

Diggs is getting set to play his first and possibly only season with the Houston Texans after the Buffalo Bills traded him this offseason.
