Texans acquire Stefon Diggs from Bills in exchange for 2025 second-round draft pick

The Buffalo Bills have made a major move, agreeing to trade star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans in a deal that includes draft picks. The Bills will receive a 2025 second-round pick from the Texans, while Houston will acquire Diggs along with a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.

The decision to trade Diggs comes after a season where his production dipped following a coaching change. With offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey being replaced, Diggs saw a decrease in targets and receiving yards per game, leading to speculation about his future with the team. His brother, Trevon Diggs, a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, had also publicly called for Stefon to leave Buffalo.

For the Bills, trading Diggs will result in a significant dead salary-cap charge next season, as he is signed through 2027. The move is part of a larger offseason shakeup for Buffalo, which has also seen the departure of key players like Gabe Davis, Mitch Morse, Tre’Davious White, Jordan Poyer, and Leonard Floyd.

Meanwhile, the Texans continue to make moves under general manager Nick Caserio, adding Diggs to a roster that already includes defensive standouts like Danielle Hunter and Denico Autry. With a successful 2021 season under their belt, including a division title and playoff appearance, Houston is looking to build on their momentum with the addition of Diggs as a weapon for quarterback C.J. Stroud.

As the NFL offseason continues to bring surprises and changes, the trade of Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans marks a significant shift for both teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
