The Buffalo Bills are finalizing a deal to trade star receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
The Bills will receive a 2025 second-round pick while the Texans also get a 2024 sixth-round pick and 2025 fifth-round pick, Schefter says.
Diggs’ cap number for 2024 is $27.854 million and he’s under contract through 2027. The Bills were pressed hard to the cap this off-season.
Acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, Diggs, 30, teamed up with star quarterback Josh Allen to lead the Bills to the past four AFC East titles.
While Diggs has had six 1,000-yard seasons in a row, his production dipped in the second half of the 2023 season, which ended with a divisional round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Bills have now lost their top two receivers from last season, Diggs and Gabe Davis, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Diggs, who seemingly questioned his future in Buffalo with some cryptic tweets over the past few weeks, joins a rising Texans team featuring talented young quarterback C.J. Stroud.
