The Houston Texans have made a bold statement with their latest acquisition, securing star wide receiver Stefon Diggs in a blockbuster trade with the Buffalo Bills. In exchange for Diggs, who amassed an impressive 1,183 receiving yards last season, the Texans sent a 2025 second-round pick acquired from the Minnesota Vikings, along with receiving a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick.
The move signifies the Texans’ commitment to surrounding young quarterback CJ Stroud with top-tier talent as he enters his sophomore season in the NFL. With a receiving corps now boasting the likes of Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and tight end Dalton Schultz, Stroud has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal to elevate the Texans’ offense to new heights.
Despite some speculation about Diggs’ age and declining role in Buffalo last season, the Texans are betting on the veteran wideout to continue making significant contributions on the field. At 30 years old, Diggs may have surpassed his prime, but his skill set and experience remain invaluable assets to any team.
The acquisition of Diggs is just one of several bold moves made by the Texans this offseason as they aim to position themselves as contenders in the AFC. The addition of running back Joe Mixon from the Cincinnati Bengals, pass-rushing linebacker Danielle Hunter from the Vikings, and former All-Pro punter Tommy Townsend from the Kansas City Chiefs further solidifies the Texans’ roster for the upcoming season.
With Diggs locked in under contract through the 2027 season, the Texans have secured a key piece of their offensive puzzle for the long term. Diggs’ four-year, $96 million extension signed with Buffalo in 2021 reflects his status as one of the premier wide receivers in the league, and the Texans are poised to maximize his talents in their quest for postseason success.
As the NFL landscape continues to shift, the Houston Texans have made it clear that they are ready to compete at the highest level. With a revamped roster and a star-studded lineup, the Texans are primed to make waves in the AFC and establish themselves as legitimate contenders on the road to Sup
