The Buffalo Bills have traded their top receiver, Stefon Diggs, to the Houston Texans in a deal that includes voiding the final three years of Diggs' contract. The Texans gave up a second-round pick for Diggs, who will now be a free agent after this season. The trade has sparked various reactions, with some questioning the Texans' strategy in acquiring Diggs for just one season.

It was a mutual decision between the Houston Texans and Stefon Diggs (and his agent) to agree to a 1 year deal, per sources. This setup allows Houston to be more flexible with the cap, and also gives Diggs a shot at more money in the offseason.

Texans could think that being in a contract year motivates Diggs to be the best version of himself. I always thought the first year with a new team is supposed to have a similar effect already than what one says about contract years. After all Diggs was his best in 2020

If you're the Texans and you're trading for Stefon Diggs, better to have him on a one-year deal to max out his motivation in a contract year, or better to have those three unguaranteed years from 2024-27 in case you want to keep him around?

The people saying "well, if he leaves, the Texans get a comp pick" ... don't understand how that works. Frankly, this is a big risk for Houston. If Diggs plays one year and bolts, losing a second-rounder is a tough look (unless they win it all) https://t.co/wX5EqKRIAF

Diggs in position for huge payday in 2025 if he delivers in Houston. https://t.co/vDFsE3kNcg
The Texans spending a 2nd round pick for one year of Stefon Diggs is definetly one way to go about things.
Also significant: Because this will be Texans WR Stefon Diggs' 10th NFL season, the most Houston can get in a comp pick if he leaves after this year would be a fifth-round pick. So cutting years off the deal is a big concession.
