So apparently, Stefon Diggs is unhappy with the Minnesota Vikings yet again, as he has deleted all Vikings-related content from his Instagram account.
While it seems unlikely that the Vikings will trade Diggs, who is under contract through 2023, that certainly won't stop teams from calling and making offers for the star wide receiver, and who knows? Maybe Minnesota will receive a good enough offer that it will seriously consider moving him.
Here are three teams that should absolutely try to pry Diggs away from the Vikings.
The Eagles entered the 2019 campaign with what many felt was one of the best sets of weapons in football. They ended the year with virtually nothing.
That was because Philadelphia was relying a whole lot on a couple of very injury-prone wide receivers in DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery, both of whom missed extensive time this past season (Jackson played in just three games) and neither of which participated in the playoffs.
With Carson Wentz clearly needing more targets to throw to, why not go after Stefon Diggs?
Diggs would immediately slide in as Philly's No. 1 receiver and could give the Eagles a lethal receiving corps if Jackson and Jeffery are able to stay on the field.
As exciting as Lamar Jackson is, it became blatantly obvious in the Ravens' embarrassing playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans that the club needs more weapons.
It can't just be Jackson all the time.
Yes, there is Marquise Brown, who certainly has some potential as a consistent deep threat, but outside of him, Baltimore doesn't really have any other impressive wide receivers.
That's where Stefon Diggs could come into play.
The 26-year-old averaged a terrific 17.9 yards per catch in 2019, which is something the Ravens' offense sorely needs.
Can you imagine how much more impossible Jackson would be to defend if he had a downfield threat like Diggs who could open up the field even more?
There isn't a contending team in the NFL more in need of receiving help than the Patriots.
Of course, New England can just sign a receiver or two in free agency, but I'm not sure there is anyone the Pats can get on the free-agent market who will have the type of impact that Diggs could.
Other than Julian Edelman, who is 34 years old and coming off of shoulder surgery, the Patriots don't have a single reliable wide receiver. N'Keal Harry has potential, but he has proven nothing yet.
It's clear that Tom Brady wants more weapons, which could be the reason why he is sort of holding New England for ransom right now with his impending free agency.
Bringing in Stefon Diggs would provide Brady with a dependable, sure-handed threat who would fit perfectly alongside of Edelman, as Edelman would cover the short and intermediate routes and Diggs (and perhaps Harry) would represent the vertical threat.
The Patriots still need a tight end, as well, but swinging a deal for Diggs would go a long way in helping what was an anemic aerial attack in 2019.
