Buffalo, we’re having an issue. In a blockbuster trade, Stefon Diggs of the Buffalo Bills is going to the Houston Texans. According to ESPN, the transaction took place on Wednesday, April 3, with the Bills trading the four-time Pro Bowl player for draft pick compensation.
As part of the transaction, Buffalo will acquire a second-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings in 2025. Along with the electric athlete, Houston will also receive a sixth-round pick in 2024 and a fifth-round pick in 2025. Only one day after Stefon Diggs engaged in his customary shenanigans on so
A fan said on Tuesday, April 2, that Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Bills, wasn’t dependent on Diggs’ production on the field. When Stefon noticed the remark, he said outright, “You sure?” It’s unclear if the xweet played a role in the transfer, but it does bring closure to a tale that could have lasted too long. Stefon Diggs has been associated with some trouble since joining the Bills.
One of the most notable moments arrived after the team’s January 2023 playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The loss was a blow as the WNY squad lost 27-10. Diggs blew up at Allen on the sideline as the game ended, seemingly screaming at his quarterback. The former Maryland athlete then stormed out of Highmark Stadium, refusing to speak to the media.
After the media asked him about the situation, Coach Sean McDermott sided with Diggs. He said he didn’t want someone on his team who “didn’t hurt” after a huge loss. “It hurts, and I wouldn’t want a guy who doesn’t hurt,” McDermott said.
Diggs later took to social media the following day to answer for his sideline outburst. He claimed that he was upset that they lost and the way they lost. “Want me to be okay with losing? Nah. Want me to be okay with our level of play when it’s not up to the standard? Nah. It’s easy to criticize my reaction more than the result,” he typed.
The tension trickled into the offseason that year. Diggs opted not to attend Buffalo’s June mandatory minicamp, and Coach McDermott expressed that he was “very concerned” about Stefon’s absence at the time. Allen then offered his opinion on what was happening with his teammate. He blamed himself, stating that he could do better to live up to his potential.
“There’s things that I could do better to help out with this process and try to get him back here and be the Buffalo Bill that he’s meant to be,” Allen said.
Fast-forward, and Diggs is gone. Along with Stefon Diggs, the Buffalo Bills lost wide receivers Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty, and Trent Sherfield—all of whom caught passes for the Bills last season, per ESPN. Buffalo has attempted to shore up its WR holes with the additions of Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins. The Bills will need to address more of their issues in the NFL Draft because it’s looking like the AFC East squad got fleeced.
Meanwhile, the Texans have soared to the top of the AFC South with their off-season additions. Houston has added RB Joe Mixon, DE Denico Autry, LB Neville Hewitt, CB Myles Bryant, CB CJ Henderson, DE Derek Barnett and so much more. Adding Stefon Diggs just gave star rookie QB CJ Stroud the boost he needed.
