The Houston Texans made a bold move by voiding the final three years of wide receiver Stefon Diggs’ contract, allowing him to become a free agent after the 2024 season. This decision comes after the Texans gave Diggs a raise and $22.52 million in guaranteed money for the 2024 season in hopes of getting the best version of him on the field.
Diggs was acquired by the Texans in a trade with the Buffalo Bills, where he had signed a four-year, $104 million contract extension in April 2022. During his time with the Bills, Diggs led the NFL in receptions and set team and league records. However, his production decreased in the second half of the 2023 season, leading to the Texans’ decision to restructure his contract.
Despite this, Diggs has been selected to the Pro Bowl for the past four seasons and remains a highly sought-after player in the league. The Texans are hopeful that with the contract adjustment, they will see the same level of performance from Diggs that made him a star in Buffalo.
The Texans received draft picks in return for acquiring Diggs from the Bills and are looking to make the most of this opportunity to strengthen their roster. As Diggs prepares to enter free agency after the 2024 season, all eyes will be on him to see where he lands next and if he can continue to be a top playmaker in the NFL.
