Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer recently commented on the decision to trade Stefon Diggs.

After the moment when Stefon Diggs walked into the end zone to complete the “Minneapolis Miracle” during the 2017 playoffs, no one could have imagined that the Minnesota Vikings would ever trade the young receiver.

Then after the Vikings decided to give Diggs a five-year, $72 million extension before the 2018 season, the team dealing the receiver elsewhere seemed even more ludicrous of a thought to have.

But during his next two seasons in Minnesota, Diggs’ relationship with the team began to sour for some reason.
