Bills deal receiver Diggs to Texans
The Buffalo Bills are trading top receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. The deal was first reported by ESPN.com.
As part of the deal, the Bills acquired the Texans' second-round pick in the 2025 draft. Houston also acquired Buffalo's sixthround pick in this year's draft, and a fifth-rounder in 2025, the source said.
Diggs' departure from Buffalo leaves quarterback Josh Allen without his favourite target.
Diggs gives the Texans another playmaker to team with Nico Collins and Tank Dell. Houston has also traded for running back Joe Mixon, along with a host of improvements on defence.
Minus Diggs, the Bills are now expected to target a receiver high in this month's draft. Buffalo opens with the 28th pick.
