Ex-Eagles WR DeSean Jackson asserts the Bills won’t make it to the playoffs, predicts they may even finish below the Patriots

Jackson also had an interesting take on why Stefon Diggs left the Bills camp.

The former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson is certainly not happy with the Buffalo Bills team after they decided to trade their star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. In the last few years, Diggs twinned well with the team’s quarterback Josh Allen. The Allen-Diggs duo created magic for the Bills despite allegedly not sharing a very good relationship.

Due to this chemistry, in the recent episode of the Up & Adams show, Jackson noted that the Bills would feel the absence of a pro-level receiver like Stefon Diggs. As a result, their playoff future might be affected as well. In addition, he also claimed that the Bills might have a poorer run than the New England Patriots.

I do not want to but it is going to be tough for the Bills. I do not see too much for the Bills. The entire defense is gone and they let go of everybody... They will miss the playoffs surely and the Patriots will possibly have a better season. They got Jerod Mayo.

DeSean Jackson said

Considering the current receiving crop of the Bills, Jackson might not be completely wrong here. The Patriots too being in the rebuild phase just adds merit to Jackson’s brutal take. Now, it’s on Sean McDermott and his men to prove Jackson wrong in the 2024 season.

Stefon Diggs wanting to win was the reason he left Bills, believes Jackson

The departure of Diggs has triggered a lot of opinions among people from various corners. The majority of the analysts claimed that his declined relationship with quarterback Josh Allen was the main reason for his departure.

However, in the conversation with Kay Adams, Jackson felt that wasn’t the reason for the WR leaving the Bills and pointed out that Diggs has a mentality to win. The Bills failed him to provide that very ask in the playoffs. In the last three seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Buffalo Bills thrice in the playoff and won all three of those games. For Jackson, it had a major role for the WR to leave the Buffalo camp.

It’s something deeper. And I can’t sit here and tell you I know, but I just know as far as [Josh Allen] and [Stefon Diggs]… I wouldn’t say they [weren’t] eye-to-eye, but it was more of [Diggs] wanting to win. I don’t feel like he thought they [were] going to be able to beat the Chiefs… I think he’d rather go with the young quarterback and a new team that’s thriving instead of staying with the Bills where every year they’re getting beat by the Chiefs.

Jackson added

In the next season, Stefon Diggs will have a litmus test in the Houston Texans squad. The WR will get a new team and a young quarterback to prove his worth after leaving the Bills.
