Wow no April fool in

Texans also acquired Joe Mixon and several key defensive players. This is going to be a very good team.

For sure

tyey know they have a qb and building around him

how dumb r the panthers right now …

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Don't like this for the Bills.

I don't care for MOST WRs. But I think Diggs is a special-one.

And what's up with the Bills? L3 years, they've been right there. Is their window closing?

Never understood what all the scouts saw in Bryce Young. Dude is way too undersized to play in the NFL.

Looks great on paper but Diggs can be a cancer if things are not going his way.

He might get a lot fewer touches than he's accustomed to with Collins and Dell running routes alongside him.

As far as the Bills, this is a very deep draft for receivers so seems like a good time to part ways...getting rid of him might actually be addition by subtraction for the Bills and have an improved team chemistry.

[RM Logic]

Diggs is a total pain in butt. Whines, pouts. He wont block.
He is really good but far from at the elite level of Chase, Jefferson, Hill, Adams, Lamb.
WRs are by far the easiest position to replace.
With Kincaid at TE and picking up Samuel and drafting a cheaper WR in round 1 they will be fine.

[Mr KLC]

Obviously it helps when your QB looks ready to contend after his rookie year, but the Texans are playing that hand beautifully. Diggs, Collins, and Dell with some combination of Brown, Woods, and Metchie backing them up is a fantastic receiver group–especially with Schultz and Mixon in tow. Combined with the Hunter signing, I love how they’re going all-in on Stroud’s cheap years, and love how they set this up with acquiring an extra second rounder from the Vikings. I’ve been a Caserio skeptic in the past, but this is stellar.

that's right up there with Hill, Waddle, and possibly one of these guys Beckham/Boyd. or DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and possibly one of these guys Beckham/Boyd.

When you watch the game on TV, I think it instantly jumps out that he really seems to look small while in the pocket.

He is 5'10" and he will have to be special to get past that IMO.

And Houston has a top five offensive line.
CJ is going to be a top five QB in no time flat.

all signs point that way

They think they have arrived. This is the NFL and they will be a target.

exactly so true team cancer

This.

I don't want to say hate, but Cousins couldn't deal with his prima-donna bs in Minnesota.

interesting move :

Added incentive for Stefon Diggs: As part of the Buffalo-Houston trade, the Texans wiped out the final three years on Diggs’ contract, giving him the ability to become a free agent after this season, per league sources. The Texans also took the $3.5 million guaranteed to Diggs next season and moved up into this season, giving him a raise and assuring him of $22.52 million in guaranteed money in 2024. But if Diggs plays the way he wants, and Houston hopes, he will hit the free-agent market next offseason with the ability to make it count. Houston now anticipates getting the best version of Stefon Diggs.-

For you football fantasy guys, free agents tend to have great seasons,

Samuel is just a guy and they won't have a premium pick. They could be very thin at that position if whoever they acquire doesn't hit the ground running.

[Mr KLC]

Diggs now on a 1 year deal playing for a new contract at age 30. He might win "Citizen of the Year" at the end of this season.

This is the dumbest thing they could have done

[getaloadoffatso]

Houston is a young and extremely talented team, who is full of selfless players and coaches

Bringing in a cancer like Diggs is a mistake, although I understand it might be just one year

I wouldn't let that guy near Stroud, Collins, or even Ryans

[mjsuax13]

Diggs a pain in the ass. Not sure he’s a guy that will be satisfied anywhere. Be sure to give him 10+ looks a game or you will have problems. Texans were on the right trajectory without the trade but it’s the NFL and teams fail often trying to go from good to great. They are no longer going to surprise any damn one so they have that going against them too. Teams will be ready to go. Should be fun to watch either way.

Diggs may work out short term.
He's playing for one more big payday, and DeMeco Ryans is a hard ass and should keep Diggs in line.

Good points. DeMeco will be on his ass. In the short term- probably get the most out of him.

[Mr KLC]

Nick Caserio is of the old Patriots hierarchy. He's trying to win now while Stroud is on his rookie deal. You won't see moves like this when Stroud gets his bag. The Texans will have 2-3 contracts and then everyone else. That worked for the Patriots and is the current philosophy of the Chiefs.
