Will Stefon Digg’s arrival cause the Houston Texans to make decisions they otherwise wouldn’t make?

The arrival of Stefon Diggs in Houston shook up the NFL. The former Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills wide receiver has established himself as one of the top talents in the league. Yet the Bills passed on him for a second-round pick. We are a long way from the talents he is supposed to be capable of demonstrating. Regardless, the Texans shook the league with such a high-profile trade.

The reason for its low commercial cost could be related to its supposed behavior. He was criticized as being difficult to coach and play alongside, and he became known for his outbursts against members of his team. The outlandish nature of his actions has many fearing that he is a bridge burner and will bring the same negative impact from the Bills to the Texans.

So it’s no surprise that he went for a second-round pick, despite being an All-Pro level talent. What will happen now that he is in Houston? That’s a good question, because it’s anyone’s guess. He probably didn’t want to be in Houston, with the club voiding several years of his contract when he arrived in the area. He now has one year of service remaining before becoming a free agent.

Once that deadline is up, the Texans will have to decide whether or not he’s worth keeping. If he does, the team will have to pay, and it could cost a lot of money. It can also cost some people their jobs. In two different articles, it was alluded to that Diggs’ arrival could result in two players losing their jobs; Robert Woods and Davis Mills.

In an article from Grid Iron Heroics, they claim that Diggs’ arrival could force the Texans to part ways with Woods, a former Pro Bowler and member of the Los Angeles Rams. While we agree that Woods will likely be cut, we don’t think it will be down to Diggs. It’s much more likely that John Metchie and Ben Skowronek were the reason Woods was eliminated. The team has an abundance of wide receivers and needs to cut some guys. With Woods in decline and on the other side of 30, it makes sense that he would make room for a generation of younger, more influential players.

That’s not all, though, as Sports Illustrated recently published an article showing Case Keenum, the Texans’ backup quarterback, talking about reuniting with Diggs. The duo was a big reason why the Vikings found success in 2017. The duo found success in these playoffs, with Keenum and Digs connecting on a play so iconic it was called the “Minneapolis Miracle”.

Although Keenum is a backup at this point in his career, it is very possible that if the Texans try to appease Diggs, not just this season but for the future, they choose to cut the other backup quarterback from the roster. list ; Mills. Mills may be, objectively, the better quarterback between the two men, and given the importance of the position, it would be a mistake to keep a guy simply because of a prior relationship formed and cemented seven years ago .
