Over the last several weeks, trade chatter has swirled around Stefon Diggs after the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver removed all Vikings-related content from his Instagram.
However, at the moment, it seems much ado about nothing.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, teams are monitoring Diggs, but there is nothing active at the current point in time.
Of course, that could all change, but it seems hard to imagine Minnesota moving Diggs, especially after it just signed Kirk Cousins to a two-year contract extension.
With Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, the Vikings have one of the NFL's best receiving duos, and with Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith Jr. at tight end and Dalvin Cook in the backfield, they have one of the most enviable casts of weapons in the league.

Diggs is coming off of a 2019 campaign in which he played 15 games and hauled in 63 receptions for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns in what was the most efficient season of his career.
The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Maryland, was originally selected by Minnesota in the fifth round (146th pick overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft.
He appeared in 13 contests during his rookie year, catching 52 passes for 720 yards and four scores. Diggs then had a couple of more solid seasons in 2016 and 2017 before breaking out in 2018, when he snared 102 balls for 1,021 yards while reaching the end zone nine times.
The Vikings won 10 games and captured a Wild Card berth in the playoffs this past season. They then went on to upset the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card Round before falling to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round.
