Stefon Diggs leaves Buffalo Bills in blockbuster NFL trade after Josh Allen drama – The Mirror US
In a momentous transaction, the Buffalo Bills have decided to part ways with wide receiver Stefon Diggs, marking the second time in his career he’s been traded.
Sources revealed that the Bills are sending Diggs to the Houston Texans, bundled with a 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 189 overall) and a 2025 fifth-rounder, in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2025 draft, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport’s report on Wednesday. The deal has been officially confirmed by the Bills.
Since his arrival from Minnesota in 2020, Diggs has consistently surpassed the 1,100-yard receiving mark in each of his four seasons with the Bills. Notably, he led the NFL with an impressive 127 catches and 1,535 yards in his debut season alongside quarterback Josh Allen.
Expressing gratitude and affection for Buffalo, Diggs took to Instagram on Wednesday evening, stating, “I can’t begin to express the amount of love and respect I have for the city of Buffalo. Four of the best years of my life, the city welcomed me with open arms. I’m forever grateful for you all and the [Bills] organization!”
Diggs’ relocation to Houston is anticipated to have significant implications for both teams. The Texans, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, welcome Diggs as a valuable addition to their receiving corps, enhancing their offensive firepower alongside Nico Collins and Tank Dell.
Furthermore, Diggs’ presence is expected to create favorable opportunities for newly acquired running back Joe Mixon, ensuring a dynamic offensive lineup for the Texans in the upcoming 2024 season.
Credit is due to general manager Nick Caserio for his strategic moves during the offseason, positioning the Texans for success with a formidable offensive lineup.
Meanwhile, the Bills’ decision to trade Diggs signifies a notable shift in their roster composition, leaving a significant void in their receiving unit. With Diggs’ departure, coupled with other offseason changes, the Bills are poised for a transformative season ahead.
The transaction not only reshapes the dynamics of both teams but also underscores the evolving landscape of the NFL offseason.
