The Bills trade Stefon Diggs, a 2024 sixth-round pick, and a 2025 fifth-rounder to the Texans for a 2025 second-round pick. The move results in a $31.096 million dead cap charge for Buffalo, not 'holding money' as some suggest. Trading Diggs accelerates bonus-money cap charges, but leaves no cap hit for 2025. Bills GM Brandon Beane's decision to extend Diggs in 2022 and trade him before the extension kicked in questioned. Diggs had a solid tenure in Buffalo, but the trade presents potential value for Houston.

Texans receive a strong WR trio with Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell. Potential for varied formations and alignments in Houston's offensive strategy with valuable depth in wide receivers. Expected changes in personnel usage and game plans, especially with deep threats and slot receivers. Buffalo clears cap space to plan for the future and potentially rebuild its roster. Bills could shift to more multi-TE formations after Diggs' departure. Outlook for players affected by the trade and implications for the upcoming season discussed.

Stefon Diggs' 2024 outlook impacted by trade to Houston, facing tough competition for targets. Diggs' efficiency and production in doubt after a slump in the second half of 2023. Challenges in adjusting to new team dynamics and sharing targets with multiple pass catchers. Texans' offensive setup with QB C.J. Stroud and strong receiving corps present a different landscape for Diggs' performance. Outlook analysis for Diggs and predictions for his role in the upcoming season discussed.
