Stefon Diggs has been traded for the second time in his career, this time from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans.
The Bills are sending Diggs along with a 2024 sixth-rounder and a 2025 fifth-rounder in exchange for a second-round selection in 2025, as reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Diggs, who breached the 1,100-plus-yard receiving mark in each of his four seasons in Buffalo, led the NFL in catches and yards in his first season with the Bills.
The addition of Diggs is a major move for the Texans, as he joins Nico Collins and Tank Dell to form a formidable receiving trio. With Diggs’ ability to win one-on-one matchups and create separation, quarterback C.J. Stroud now has a reliable veteran target to rely on.
This trio of receivers is expected to complement each other well, giving offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik the tools to challenge defenses at all levels.
Diggs’ presence is also expected to benefit new running back Joe Mixon by drawing attention away from the run game. With tight end Dalton Schultz and a solid offensive line in place, the Texans’ offense is shaping up to be dynamic in the upcoming 2024 season.
Credit is given to general manager Nick Caserio for making moves to support Stroud, who is poised to continue his success after a standout rookie season.
The decision to trade Diggs indicates that the Bills were ready to move on from the receiver, despite his significant contributions to the team over the past four seasons.
With Diggs now in Houston, Buffalo faces a void in their receiving corps, especially after losing Gabe Davis to free agency.
The Bills’ top targets now include Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, Mack Hollins, K.J. Hamler, and Justin Shorter. This trade is part of an offseason overhaul for the Bills, which has seen several key players depart from the team.
