Bills sign Diggs to 4-year extension worth reported $104M
The Buffalo Bills have signed star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a four-year extension, the team announced.
The deal is worth $104 million and includes $70 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diggs had two years left on his previous contract, so the deal ties him to Buffalo for six more seasons at $124.1 million, Schefter adds.
The 28-year-old's new $26-million average annual salary ranks fourth among wide receivers, behind only Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins ($30 million), Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders ($28 million), and DeAndre Hopkins of the Arizona Cardinals ($27.25 million), according to Spotrac.
In guaranteed money, Diggs trails only Hill, who received $72.2 million guaranteed in Miami.
Diggs has been an integral part of the Bills' offense since Buffalo acquired him in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He led the NFL in receptions (127) and yards (1,535) in his first year with the team before putting up 1,225 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns on 103 catches last season.
The two-time Pro Bowler ranks first in the league with 330 targets since 2020, according to Pro Football Reference. He's also racked up the third-most catches and fourth-most receiving yards in that span.
The receiver's extension comes less than a year after Buffalo gave star quarterback Josh Allen a new six-year contract worth up to $258 million.
Extending Diggs is the latest move in what's been another successful offseason for the Bills.
