Josh Allen has paid tribute to Stefon Diggs after the wide receiver's departure from the Buffalo Bills, despite the latter appearing to criticize him on social media just hours after his shock, bombshell trade to the Houston Texans.
With no true No. 1 wide receiver on the roster after Diggs' exit, earlier this month, some might have anticipated a more abrasive posture from Allen as the Bills open offseason workouts.
But as the Bills transform the roster, Allen, 27, said he's accepting the unspoken challenge of becoming a better leader.
'It's definitely hard to part ways with a guy that's been very instrumental in our success the last four years,' Allen said on Thursday of reporting to work without Diggs in tow.
'We made a lot of changes this offseason. We lost a lot of veteran leadership -- Stef being one of them. Going into Year 7 now, it just kind of is what it is. I don't get paid to make changes on the team. I get paid to be the best quarterback I can be and try to lead the guys on this team.'
