Stefon Diggs Turns Into a Cowboy as Calls Mount Against Jerry Jones’ Latest WR Signing

Stefon Diggs has to be one of the most underrated WRs out there in the NFL. Had it not been for his ACL injury in the last season, the former Bills wide receiver would have pulled another season with 1000+ yards. I mean, look at his NFL record for over the last five years or so, the 31-year-old WR has been a beast for the Bills and Vikings. Despite producing such top-level performance year after year, the Bills had to move on from Diggs because the Bills GM believed that Diggs’s high payroll was becoming a burden for them. “A player of his caliber, you weigh a lot of things on the situation… I would say from a cap standpoint, we decided just to go ahead and eat it now,” the Bills GM Brandon Beane said after trading Diggs to the Texans.

When the Texans acquired Diggs, they were quick to rework his contract, allowing him to explore the free market the following season. Although Stefon has made himself available for all 32 franchises, his ACL injury in 2024 can still be a roadblock to landing a good deal. While we all were hoping for a Bills-Diggs reunion this offseason, an unexpected development has sparked another debate if Diggs wants to join forces with the $10.1 billion franchise. Notably, just last Sunday, Diggs restored all his Bills images back on Instagram. This was enough for the Bills fans to speculate a comeback. But his other Instagram stunt seems to confirm where the veteran WR wants to see himself.

Ever since the Cowboys drafted Stefon Diggs’ younger brother Trevon in 2020, there hasn’t been a single offseason where Stefon wasn’t linked to the Cowboys. I mean for the last four years, those links have come and gone as Diggs kept on racking up Pro Bowls. While the Cowboys were fortunate to have CeeDee Lamb as their wide receiver, this year’s links to Diggs have just gone up a notch because of the 4-time Pro Bowler’s actions.

See today, out of nowhere, Diggs thought, why not hype up the Cowboys nation with a clear message to play in Dallas? Stefon Diggs, donning a Cowboy gear, has again opened the floodgates of questions asking, ‘Is Stefon Diggs to Dallas finally happening?’ Well, this message came in the form of a Cowboy cosplay outfit Diggs shared on his Instagram story. Seeing him wearing a traditional Cowboys hat and a jacket makes us think, Is Diggs trying to send a signal to the Cowboys front office? Well, it seems like a possibility.

Jarrett Bailey of Touchdown Wire touched upon why the Diggs-Cowboys could be a perfect marriage for both parties. “Yes, this makes sense on all fronts. Aside from CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott is ready to throw to you and me as a receiver. Add Diggs, join him with his brother, Trevon, and give the Cowboys offense a legitimate No. 2 player opposite Lamb.”

After seeing his stock sink to its lowest coming off an ACL, Diggs has yet to find a franchise. Like the free agency market opened on March 10th, and it’s been six days, Diggs has yet to find an offer. Still only 31, the only reason why Diggs hasn’t found a club yet is because of his ACL.

Predicted to lose some of his explosiveness, Stefon might fail to retrace some of his trail-blazing capabilities pre-ACL. I mean, just look at his numbers for the 8 games he played as a Texan. With 47 receptions for 496 yards and 4 total TDs, Diggs had it all going until an ACL derailed everything.

As for the Cowboys, they can surely take a gamble on Diggs by getting him on cheap. PFF once predicted Diggs to get a $16M contract for a year to get his career back on track. However, seeing the lack of interest from 31 other franchises in signing him, the Cowboys can get him on a discount. At least, that’s what their fans are demanding after seeing their latest activity on free agency.

As a Bills fan, keep him away from BUF.

Cowboys fans turn on Jerry Jones seeing him sign a Super Bowl Champion

Hmm!! A Super Bowl Champion. Is that Cooper Kupp? Well, not exactly. Kupp has gone to Seattle to link up with Sam Darnold. As for Jerry Jones, he has brought his Dak Prescott someone he might have never heard of. Just yesterday, the Cowboys announced the signing of Super Bowl LIX Champion, Parris Campbell. Yep, out of all the receivers the Cowboys could have targeted after saying they would be selectively aggressive—Dallas zeroed in on Campbell. And within hours of announcing his arrival from Philly to Dallas, the fans were obviously not happy. They were constantly asking “WHO???!!!!” in the comment section.

Some even made fun of the Cowboys 30-year Super Bowl drought saying, “There ya go Dallas….now y’all got somebody that can tell ya what it’s like to win a Super Bowl 🤣” Campbell is coming off a season where he only played in 5 games catching 6 passes for 30 yards and TD. So, obviously, the Cowboys were going to be mocked for seeing him come to Dallas instead of the person they actually wanted. One of them wrote, “Jerry Jones, this is not Stefon Diggs.” This sends Jones a clear message about whom they actually want instead of the ones Jones is bringing to Dallas.

There was another fan who even tried to start a movement to urge Jones into signing Diggs, who is still a free agent, “Use this as a sign Diggs button.” Guess what? Over 150 people also liked that comment. This means, as usual, Jones doesn’t care what his fans want. After saying “all-in” last summer and “selectively aggressive” this offseason, the Cowboys are utterly embarrassing yet again in free agency. Only way they could turn this around is by making Diggs a Cowboy. But will they really do it? Well, the answer only lies in the hands of Jerry Jones. Who doesn’t miss a chance to ignore his fans’ wishes?
