"Diggs, of course, loses that battle 10 times out of 10. With the relationship clearly still broken during the 2024 offseason, and Diggs entering his age-31 season, the Bills traded their disgruntled WR to the Houston Texans for a second-round draft pick; they were so eager to push Diggs out of town, per The Athletic, that they took on the largest non-QB dead-money hit in NFL history at the time ($31 million), and actually sent the Texans a pair of late-round draft picks in the deal."
""It's a fun and wonderful thing when you got a bunch of guys that don't care about the stats, they don't care about the touchdowns." Allen later clarified that his comments had nothing to do with Diggs, but let's not kid ourselves here. The Bills slapped the "diva wide receiver" label on his back on the way out the door, and it chased him into the 2025 offseason, when, coming off a torn ACL, few contending teams were interested in his services."
The Buffalo Bills entered 2024 as a Super Bowl-caliber team but suffered three consecutive divisional-round playoff losses, straining the Josh Allen–Stefon Diggs relationship. The Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans in the 2024 offseason, absorbing a massive $31 million non-quarterback dead-money hit and surrendering late-round picks to move him. Allen’s postgame remarks emphasized team-first players and amplified the perception of Diggs as a diva, which followed him into 2025 as he recovered from a torn ACL and drew limited interest. Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots pursued Diggs to pair him with quarterback Drake Maye, and Diggs has become a stabilizing veteran presence for the 11-2 Patriots.
