Because Justin Jefferson was so successful for the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, many folks believe that the Stefon Diggs trade from the spring of 2020 was an “even exchange” of Jefferson for Diggs.
This is wildly false.
The Diggs trade is about half complete — for the Vikings sake. The other teams directly involved in the deal (the Buffalo Bills) and those indirectly affected (Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears) are “done” with their respective sides of the transaction. All other teams received Stefon Diggs (Bills), Dane Jackson (Bills) Trevis Gibson (Bears), James Proche (Ravens), and Geno Stone (Ravens).
