Bills fans want Stefon Diggs traded after WR drops crucial catch in 27-24 loss to Chiefs: "Josh Allen deserves better"

On Sunday, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills suffered an excruciating, season-ending 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Highmark Stadium. Bills kicker Tyler Bass missed the game-tying 44-yard field goal attempt with less than two minutes left that would've kept the Bills' season alive.

Earlier in the game, wide receiver Stefon Diggs dropped a perfect pass from Allen that would've set up the Bills offense in the red zone.

Fans on social media were upset about the wide receiver's drop. Here are some of the comments about Diggs' gaffe:

Diggs finished the game with only three catches for 21 yards. The Bills are now 0-3 against the Chiefs in the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes and co. have ended Allen and Buffalo's season thrice in the last four seasons.

They will move on to their sixth straight AFC Championship Game to take on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. This will be their first conference championship game on the road in the Mahomes era. The winner will face the San Francisco 49ers or the Detroit Lions in the Super Bowl.

Josh Allen's $47 million cap hit set to make life difficult for Bills in 2024

Allen's $18.6M cap hit for 2023 gave the Bills some room to work with to assemble a team that would challenge for the Lombardi in Vegas. That, however, didn't come to pass after the loss to the Chiefs.

Life could get a smidgen tougher for Buffalo this year.

Allen's cap hit is set to reach $47 million, making it a little more difficult for the Bills to go chasing for free agents. Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis are both set to hit free agency, along with Micah Hyde, Leonard Floyd, Tyrel Dodson, Shaq Lawson, Latavius Murray and a bunch of other names.

Of course, the Bills could work some cap magic and restructure his contract to free up as much as $23.5M, per ESPN's Field Yates. However, if they lose both Diggs and Davis, the Bills will have to compete with a number of teams for high-profile WRs.

Aaron Rodgers' Jets will be on the lookout for a big name while the Jaguars could also look to retool around Trevor Lawrence. The Chiefs, who had to make do with a Greek tragedy cast of WRs will likely also look to entice some competent names.
