C.J. Stroud was caught off guard when the Buffalo Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. Stroud, who was traveling and asleep when the trade happened, only found out later through a text message from a friend. Despite the initial shock, Stroud expressed excitement about having Diggs as a teammate, especially after bonding with him at the Pro Bowl.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans welcomed Diggs to the team, highlighting his impressive track record as an All-Pro and Pro Bowl player with over 1,000 yards in multiple seasons. The Texans see Diggs as a valuable addition to their already formidable offense.
The trade surprised many, given Bills general manager Brandon Beane’s previous assurance that Diggs would remain the team’s top receiver. However, Beane explained that ongoing discussions with the Texans led to a deal being struck, especially when they offered a second-round pick.
Despite losing their top receiver and Gabe Davis in free agency, Beane emphasized the Bills’ commitment to remaining competitive, stating that every move they make is geared towards winning.
