Stefon Diggs distances himself from brother Trevon's opinions of Bills, Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs says he's “not responsible for how other people feel," including his brother, Trevon Diggs, after the Dallas Cowboys cornerback took shots at Buffalo on social media.
Following the Bills' 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday, Trevon Diggs pleaded for his brother to leave Buffalo on X (formerly Twitter), writing, "Man 14 Gotta get up outta there." He doubled down with another post on Tuesday, this time taking a jab at Bills quarterback Josh Allen: "Let’s not forget, he didn’t start going off till bro got there."
Trevon Diggs' posts, which remain on his social media account, sparked questions on whether or not Stefon Diggs is unhappy and wants out of Buffalo as the Bills dropped to 5-5 on the season. But Stefon distanced himself from his brother's opinions, saying he's hasn't "had a personal conversation with him."
"I'm not responsible for how other people feel," Stefon Diggs told reporters on Thursday. "Anybody in this room for this manner, a reporter, a player, even my own brother. I love my brother. In the space that my brother's coming from is my family. So, you want to know how he feels? You got to take it up with him."

Stefon Diggs said commentary from his brother Trevon, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in September, was coming from a "fan perspective" and not from an insider, because Trevon is "not a part of the Buffalo Bills" and has no insight into the organization, despite being siblings.
"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. So, I handle my family with the utmost respect, and I always hope that people treat it that way. So, when people speak of my family, have a level of integrity as well, because I feel like if it was another family member or somebody else, obviously people kind of handle things however they want. But tread lightly when you're talking about my family."
Trevon Diggs' comments resurfaced previous drama surrounding Stefon Diggs and Buffalo. Last season, Stefon was noticeably frustrated during Buffalo’s playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and his frustrations boiled over to the offseason when he was absent during a portion of the Bills' mandatory minicamp. Stefon's agitation this offseason reportedly stemmed from his role in the Bills' offense, but he said it's "water under the bridge" in July.
"We had those conversations, everything that needed to be said was said, we talked it out as men, everybody involved," he said back in July. "Forcing my way out anywhere is not my goal. I don't feel like I have to at this point, I feel like I'm in a great space, I'm in a great place. I'm loved and I'm appreciated."
On Thursday, Stefon was once again asked if he's fully invested in the Bills' offense after Buffalo lost four of their past six games and fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.
"I really sat down and kind of everybody here around training camp and felt like I nipped it in the bud as to how I felt or what I was feeling," Stefon Diggs said. "But here we are again. Here we are revisiting a topic about how I feel. I play with confidence. I go in with confidence. I prepare each and every week. I've always been a professional."
Diggs continued: "I've never really said anything about being unhappy or any instance of that. So, when you're drawing conclusions as to stuff I've never said, that's what kind of troubles me because it kind of throws a wrench in it. It kind of creates chaos where I haven't created. Chaos created around me, whereas I just been in the same space, I've been in the same place, and I've spoken true words. I've said the same thing over and over and over. So, when you draw a conclusion as to how I feel in my foreseeable future here, I've never said anything, but I was a Buffalo Bill. I gave it everything I got. I'm a professional and I treat this game as such."
Buffalo faces the New York Jets (4-5) at home on Sunday.
