The Buffalo Bills had to face former wide receiver Stefon Diggs twice last season with the New England Patriots, and one NFL insider believes they could face him again this season.

Diggs was cut loose by the Patriots in the weeks after the team’s Super Bowl loss and has remained on the open market. SI.com insider Albert Breer believes he could soon find a new NFL team, suggesting that one of Buffalo’s top rivals could land him.

Breer threw cold water on the idea of Diggs returning to the Patriots on a new contract, pointing out that Buffalo’s AFC East rival is more focused on a trade for star A.J. Brown.

“I do think an A.J. Brown trade will happen. I also don’t think, for a variety of reasons, you’ll see Diggs and A.J. Brown together in New England,” Breer wrote.

While the Patriots may have left the door open for Diggs to come back, Breer believes that the Kansas City Chiefs are one of a small handful of teams that would be a better fit.

Now, I believe the Patriots love Diggs, and Diggs would love to return,” Breer wrote. “But any realistic talk about his return, to me, hinges on whether the Brown trade happens. Assuming Brown does become a Patriot, I think Diggs will probably be somewhere in that one-year, $10 million range. The Chiefs could make sense. The Commanders might, too, since Diggs is from D.C. The Falcons and Rams would also be interesting landing spots.”
