Bills trade Stefon Diggs to Texans

[uncle fester]

Bills get a 2025 2nd, Texans also get a 5th and 6th over 2024/25. Unclear which way round.

EDIT: Differing accounts on the nature of the 5th & 6th picks to Houston

WOW
An already good team just got a lot better.

 

[uncle fester]

Taking advantage of a cheap CJ Stroud contract while they can, is my guess

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely. Diggs is one hell of a player. He's also one hell of whiner. So, there is that.

 

[CactusJack]

Diggs must be a pain in the ass. Because the compensation is pretty light.

100%. They seem to be making some large 2-3 year deals right now. It’s smart to play it that way if you can. Bein fn in the talent while you have a qb making next to nothing (comparatively). They are going to make the AFC interesting

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Def. a pattern. Get a QB on the cheap on his rookie deal and take advantage. Been going on for a really long time.

Minor point... according to ESPN, the 5th round pick the Texans get is this year's, not 2025.

Which of the following Wide Receivers stays on the Texans now that the Texans made that trade:

Robert Woods
Noah Brown
Tank Dell
Nico Collins

Speaking of WR, Bills need one. Lockett to Bills for picks???

Hmmm…

Schefter says the other way round

Maybe the details will be shaken out over the next day or so?

Buffalo wr core looks like

 

[pittpnthrs]

The Bills are a trash heap right now. They didn't win when they were supposed to and they just keep getting worse.

As an organization you cannot trade a player who just restructured to stay with your team. Lockett isn't going anywhere this year unless he demands it.

At best, Diggs looked absolutely washed down the stretch last season. At worst, he quit on his teammates. Bills probably beat the Chiefs last year if Diggs plays like he gives half a crap. Allegedly a toxic locker room presence too. Bills are going to be stuck with a lot of dead cap, but moving him now was the right move. I'm not convinced this is going to be the great move for the Texans many are making this out to be.

 

[hawkfan68]

Bills traded their #1 WR and lost arguably their #2 WR in FA (Gabe Davis). The draft is deep for WR talent so they should be getting a good young WR or two come April.

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

Texans look solid on paper and more

 

[GemCity]

Texans are headed in the right direction.

 

[bileever]

Diggs is still a very good player. He had 107 catches for almost 1,200 yards. And the $31 million cap hit for the Bills is very steep. I guess that the Bills thought that it was best to trade him because he only had a year left on his contract. Meanwhile, the Texans get a true number one receiver for $18 million next year, which is not bad.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Far from washed, imo. With him, it's clearly more his attitude than anything.
