Stefon Diggs has been traded to the Houston Texans.
The shocking trade was announced by numerous reporters Wednesday morning, with the Texans sending the Bills the second-round pick in 2025 that they acquired in last month’s pre-draft trade with the Vikings. Along with Diggs, the Texans are reportedly receiving Buffalo’s sixth-round pick this year and fifth-round pick next year.
Diggs now joins a loaded Texans roster that features quarterback C.J. Stroud, running back Joe Mixon and wide receivers Tank Dell and Nico Collins.
Buffalo’s receiving corps is now very limited, with Justin Shorter, Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel at the top of the depth chart. The Bills are armed with the 28th overall pick in the first round this year, which will be screaming for them to take a wide receiver.
Houston, meanwhile, has turned the trade with Minnesota into Diggs and more. To get the No. 23 pick this year from the Texans the Vikings had to part with their second-round pick this year, sixth-round pick this year, and next year’s second-round pick that is now with Buffalo.
So Houston lost their first-rounder but wound up with Diggs and they still have three top-100 picks – No. 41 from Minnesota, No. 58 and No. 86 – to build around an already strong roster.
As for Diggs, every transition of his career has a connection to Minnesota.
The Vikings drafted Diggs in the fifth round in 2015. He played five years in Minnesota before being traded to the Bills for a first-round pick in 2020. The Vikings used that pick to select Justin Jefferson. Now Diggs is in Houston because the Texans had a valuable second-round pick from the Vikings to work out a deal.
