Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Thursday that he looked into the possibility of trading for wide receiver Stefon Diggs last season.
According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, Beane noted that he explored a trade with the Minnesota Vikings around the time of the 2019 trade deadline. Per WIVB's Josh Reed, Beane added that the Vikings did not make Diggs available by October 29.
Patience paid off for Beane and the Bills, as they acquired Diggs and a 2020 seventh-round pick from the Vikings this offseason for first-, fifth- and sixth-round picks in 2020 and a 2021 fourth-round pick.
