Buffalo Bills agree to trade WR Stefon Diggs to Houston Texans

April 3 (UPI) — The Buffalo Bills have agreed to trade star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, a league source told UPI on Wednesday.

The Texans will receive a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in addition to Diggs, as part of the deal. The Bills will receive a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Diggs, 30, spent the last four seasons with the Bills. He made the Pro Bowl for his football exploits during each of these campaigns. Diggs was an All-Pro in 2020, when he led the NFL with 127 catches for a game-high 1,535 yards. He totaled 445 catches for 5,372 yards and 37 touchdowns in 66 appearances with the Bills.

Diggs, a fifth-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, spent his first five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings traded Diggs to the Bills in 2020.

The star receiver will now catch passes from 2023-24 Offensive Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud. He will join a wide receiver room that also includes Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

The Bills, who have already lost a large number of players to free agency, will now look to replace Diggs and Gabriel Davis, their top pass catchers from last season. Justin Shorter, Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins are among the top wide receivers the Bills have under contract in 2024.

The Bills own the 28th pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Texans, who selected Stroud and passer Will Anderson with the No. 2 and 3 picks respectively in 2023, do not have a 2024 first-round pick.

Diggs, who signed a four-year, $96 million extension in 2022 with the Bills, is under contract through 2027. He has a base salary of $18 million in 2025.
