ESPN’s Adam Schefter provided the terms of the trade.

Compensation update: Bills are trading a 1st-round pick, a 5th-round pick, a 6th-round pick and a 2021 4th-round pick for Vikings WR Stefon Diggs and a 2020 7th-round pick, source tells ESPN.

This trade gives the Vikings a new start and rids them of a player who has made it clear he doesn’t want to be in Minnesota.

For the Bills, Diggs will give quarterback Josh Allen another very dangerous weapon in the passing game. Diggs is an extremely talented receiver who has hauled in 365 passes for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns in his first five seasons in the NFL.
