Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been in the headlines all week, as reports have surfaced that the veteran had missed several practices and team events. Minnesota subsequently fined him for an amount that reportedly exceeded $200,000.
His name has been swirling in NFL trade rumors ever since, and it appears that one Raiders player would like to see Diggs don the Silver and Black.

The Raiders are very thin at the wide receiver position, as Tyrell Williams missed Sunday’s 24-21 win in London with an injury, forcing Oakland to only have four receivers active for the game.
Diggs ended up playing for the Vikings on Sunday regardless and caught three passes for 44 yards in a win over the Giants. After the game, he wasn’t exactly enthusiastic when asked about whether he wanted to remain with the Vikings.
However, the Raiders have already had their own issues with star receivers causing drama in the organization, so general manager Mike Mayock may not be super interested in bringing in another player who is skipping team activities.

It remains to be seen where Diggs winds up once the NFL trade deadline passes, but the Raiders certainly could use all the help they can get at receiver.
