Stefon Diggs put himself in the news cycle this offseason after social media users noticed that he scrubbed his entire Instagram account of anything related to the Minnesota Vikings last week.
Reports of unhappiness in Minnesota have laid the groundwork for a potential blockbuster trade. Even during the 2019 season, he showed frustration in the direction of quarterback Kirk Cousins.
We can now include former Minnesota Vikings star linebacker Chad Greenway to that growing chorus of people that think Diggs wants out.
Greenway made an appearance on KFAN in Minneapolis and spoke on Diggs not only wanting to be traded but him having issues with Adam Thielen.
“To me, it’s just a cry out to say, ‘I’m trying to get out of here. I want to go be the guy somewhere else because I can’t be the guy here with (Adam) Thielen here,’” Greenway said. “That’s how I see it and I don’t know how it could mean anything different than that.”
“Listen, I played with Stefon, You get him to the side, he is a great dude, locked in, but he needs the attention,” Greenway told KFAN’s Paul Allen. “There is Thelien and then there is Diggs and I can tell you, that does not sit well with Diggs.”
Diggs’ targets decreased from 149 in 2018 to 94 this past season, even though he still put up a career-high 1,130 yards.
The 26-year-old is an elite talent, but his behavior is starting to become noticeable, just as it did during the playoff game against the New Orleans Saints when he wasn’t receiving any targets.
