Bills’ Damar Hamlin breaks silence on Stefon Diggs’ ‘shocking’ trade to the Texans

When the Buffalo Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, the thought was that the immediate aftermath of it would be felt by the offense. However, as it has now been revealed, cornerback Damar Hamlin is also at a loss, after his close friend had to move to a different state.

Damar Hamlin was on the podcast Maggie and Perloff on SiriusXM for the first time since Stefon Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans. He was also asked about the trade.

I was surprised by that. That's one of my closest friends on and off the field. So, hate to see him go. But you know excited for him to you know keep progressing in his career. I texted him we'll be close no matter the location. I'm glad that we were able to build our relationship. I appreciated every moment that we spent in Buffalo. Damar Hamlin said

Hamlin was sad to see the person who was beside him at the most difficult time of his life, go away. But he is happy that his friend can progress in his life.

Stefon Diggs and Hamlin became friends after the Buffalo Bills drafted the latter in 2021. Since then, they have been close on and off the field. The superstar wideout was visibly upset seeing Hamlin suffer a cardiac arrest while on the field. He also went to visit his friend in the hospital.
