The Buffalo Bills made a blockbuster trade on Wednesday, but not the one their fans will particularly like. The team announced that they traded a star wide receiver to the Houston Texans in exchange for a second-round pick in 2025.

As part of the trade, Houston will also get a 2024 sixth-rounder (No. 189 overall) and a fifth-round selection pick in 2025. The Bills are receiving a second-rounder that the Texans previously acquired from the Minnesota Vikings.

By trading Diggs, the Bills are now without a clear No. 1 option at the wide receiver position. They previously also let Gabe Davis, their second-leading receiver last season, walk in free agency. However, general manager Brandon Beane insisted during a press conference on Wednesday that trading Diggs doesn’t indicate a step back for the franchise.

“This is by no means the Bills giving up or trying to take a step back or anything like that. Everything we do, we’re trying to win. And we’re going to continue to do that, “said

Diggs finished the 2023 season with 107 catches for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. However, his numbers declined as the season progressed. He failed to eclipse 100 receiving yards since Week 7 and didn’t have a touchdown in the final six games of the regular season.

By acquiring Diggs, the Texans will give their standout quarterback C.J. Stroud another reliable target. He will join a respectable receiving corps that also includes wideouts Nico Collins and Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz.

With their blowout win over their divisional rivals the New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills have secured their first 12-win season since 1993, which was the last time the team made it to the Super Bowl.

It was a record-setting night for the team and also the first time since 1999 that the Bills defeated the Patriots in both of their in-season meetings, signaling a changing of the guard after well over a decade of dominance by the Patriots in the AFC East.

The story of the night has been the biggest story of the season for the Bills—and that’s the connection between their young franchise quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who the Minnesota Vikings traded to Buffalo this offseason.

They connected for three touchdowns in the 38-9 win over the Patriots, and set records while doing so.

Allen had four total touchdown passes on the night, breaking the single-season franchise record of team legend Jim Kelly.

Allen now has 34 touchdown passes on the year with one more game to go before the playoffs. Allen also set a record for most games in a season, throwing for more than 300 yards. He now has eight of those games.

Diggs now has 1,383 receiving yards on the year, breaking the franchise record for the most receiving yards in one season that Eric Moulds held since 1998.

Stefon Diggs is getting a nice welcoming gift from the Buffalo Bills. According to reports, Bills decided to rework Diggs’ contract after his trade from Minnesota Vikings in order to pay him more money in 2020.

Diggs inked a five-year, $72 million contract extension in 2018, which kicked in last season. According to the original terms, the 26-year-old wideout was set to make 11.5 million this year. However, under new terms, Bills will now pay him $14.8 in 2020, increasing his salary up by $3.3 million.

The reworked deal will also see Diggs’ guarantee in 2021 being increased by $7.7 million to $11 million while his base salary next year will be being reduced by $300K. In 2022 and 2023, he is set to receive less money, with the overall number dropping from $25.55 million to $22.67 million.

The deal appears to be beneficial for both sides. Diggs is set to receive his money a lot earlier than scheduled, while Buffalo uses current available cap space to give themselves more wiggle room in the future.

It is important to note that the new terms were agreed upon when Bills acquired Stefon Diggs in March. In order to land Diggs, Buffalo sent first-rounder, fifth-rounder, and sixth-rounder to Vikings.

In the past five years, Diggs played 70 regular-season games with Minnesota and has 63 starts. His career numbers include 365 receptions for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns.

The problems just keep on coming for Minnesota Vikings. The team is currently sitting at the bottom of NFC North, while witnessing some concerning locker room issues after their star wide receiver Adam Thielen called out quarterback Kirk Cousins for a string of bad performances. And if that wasn’t enough, now WR Stefon Diggs is feeling frustrated with the way the team is playing and might want out.

In recent days, reports surfaced that Diggs was unhappy with the organization, and might seek a trade. The 25-year-old was absent from practice on Wednesday due to “non-injury reasons” which only fueled the trade talks even more.

Diggs returned to practice on Thursday, where he spent time answering the questions from reporters. At one point, he was asked whether he wants out of Minnesota.

“There’s truth to all rumors. I won’t be speaking on that.” – said Diggs.

When pressed to elaborate on the matter, Diggs admitted he is frustrated with the lack of winning, but refused to give further explanation.

“I said there’s truth to all rumors,” – he added. “What I mean by that … there’s a lot of speculation of me being frustrated. Of course being a receiver and wanting to have success and wanting to win. If you’re not winning of course you’ll be frustrated. That’s my answer.”

The Vikings’ struggles with the passing game have caused Stefon Diggs’ stats in 2019 to take a hit. He has only had 13 receptions in the first four games of the season while scoring one touchdown.

There is no indication that Vikings are willing to trade Diggs at the moment. Reportedly, the only way they could think about moving him is if they would receive a massive offer they couldn’t refuse.
