The Houston Texans have acquired star wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills, according to an announcement made by both teams on Wednesday.
The Minnesota Vikings will be giving up a 2025 second-round pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for Stefon Diggs. In addition to the draft pick, the Vikings will also be sending a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick to the Bills.
In the 2020 season, Diggs, a highly accomplished player with four Pro Bowl appearances, showcased his exceptional skills by recording an impressive 107 receptions. This remarkable feat placed him seventh in the entire NFL. In addition, he accumulated a total of 1,183 yards and scored eight touchdowns, solidifying his status as a top performer in the league.
The news was first reported by ESPN.
The addition of the 30-year-old player is anticipated to greatly enhance the already formidable offense in Houston. With the Texans ranking 12th in yards per game (342.4) and seventh in passing yards per game (245.5), credit largely goes to NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, C.J. Stroud.
Selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the quarterback showcased his exceptional skills by throwing for an impressive 4,108 yards, along with 23 touchdowns and a mere five interceptions. Under his leadership, Houston successfully made their way to the postseason. Joining forces with the talented wide receivers Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Diggs is set to form a formidable offensive unit.
In March, the Texans made a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals to acquire veteran running back Joe Mixon.
