The Buffalo Bills are finalizing a trade to send four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans for draft-pick compensation, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
The Bills will receive a 2025 second-round pick (via the Minnesota Vikings) in exchange for Diggs, a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
It's the latest win-now move for the Texans, who are surrounding quarterback C.J. Stroud with veteran talent this offseason.
The Texans also traded for running back Joe Mixon this offseason, acquiring him from the Cincinnati Bengals and then signing him to a three-year, $27 million extension. They also made a splash on the defensive side, signing star pass-rusher Danielle Hunter to a two-year, $49 million contract, including $48 million guaranteed, in free agency.
Diggs joins a loaded Texans offense, headlined by Stroud, the NFL's reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year, and including Mixon, receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz.
The Bills, meanwhile, have moved on from several veterans this offseason. Buffalo released cornerstone defensive players Tre'Davious White and Jordan Poyer and starting center Mitch Morse in salary cap moves. In addition, receiver Gabriel Davis signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars and outside linebacker Leonard Floyd with the San Francisco 49ers in free agency.

Diggs is a diva asshole who quit on his team about midway through last season.

I really like what Houston has been doing lately but I would have passed on this move.

Probably good for Buffalo to get the distraction off the team. But their WR corp really sucks now

But why did they trade him to the Texans?

Houston has a strong culture forming so think this will benefit them

Actually Bills are losing cap space because of this, eating $31 million

Only getting back a 2025 second

Great trade for Houston
