The Buffalo Bills have finalized a significant trade deal with the Houston Texans, sending four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs along with draft picks to Houston in exchange for a second-round pick in 2025. Diggs, who has been a standout player for the Bills over the past four seasons, leaves behind a notable legacy within the franchise, ranking highly in receiving yards, catches, and touchdowns.
The trade reverberated across the NFL, much like Diggs’s previous move from the Minnesota Vikings to Buffalo in 2020. The announcement from ESPN’s Adam Schefter sparked reactions from players and fans alike. Diggs’s brother, Trevon Diggs, a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, expressed astonishment, while Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk joked about fielding stray comments due to league happenings.

Notably, Texans legend JJ Watt applauded the move, highlighting the franchise’s transformative offseasons and its emergence as a top-tier destination. Observers also weighed in on the trade, with some endorsing the Texans’ acquisition of Diggs as part of a formidable wide receiver trio alongside Collins and Dell. However, the unexpected nature of the trade left many in the football world surprised, as evidenced by reactions on social media.
Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert humorously lamented the interruption of his vacation due to the news. Despite Diggs’s occasionally enigmatic behavior, his departure from the Bills marked a significant moment in NFL offseason dealings, prompting varied reactions and discussions among fans and analysts.
