Despite doubts about his NFL future, wide receiver Stefon Diggs will continue his career with the Buffalo Bills after agreeing to a massive contract extension, which has many people asking how much money he is worth.
The Vikings selected him in the NFL Draft.
Diggs attended Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Montgomery, Maryland, and went on to play college football for Maryland, where he racked up 150 receptions, 2,227 yards, and 14 touchdowns in three years, though he chose to forego his senior year and enter the 2015 NFL Draft instead.
The Minnesota Vikings selected Diggs in the fifth round, 146th overall, and he had an immediate impact on the team. After five seasons with the team, the wide receiver has steadily improved his game.
Diggs is relocating to Buffalo
However, the Vikings sold Diggs, and their seventh-round draft pick to the Bills in 2020 in exchange for their first-round (Justin Jefferson), fifth-round, and sixth-round picks in the NFL Draft.
Diggs has made a gridiron connection with quarterback Josh Allen in Buffalo, which has boosted his performance. In 2020, he had 127 receptions for 1,535 yards (in addition to leading the team to the AFC Championship game, where they were defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs), and in 2021, he caught ten regular-season touchdowns for the first time in his career.
Diggs agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Bills on Wednesday, April 6, for a total of $96 million in new money, plus a $21.5 million signing bonus, for total guaranteed money of $70 million.
