Stefon Diggs has officially joined the Houston Texans after passing his physical, a move that has significantly impacted the team's visibility and potentially its performance. As part of the trade, Diggs agreed to a revised contract with the Texans, which reduced his tenure from four years to a single season. This adjustment includes a signing bonus of $20.805M, a base salary of $1.21M, an offseason workout bonus of $250K, per-game roster bonuses up to $255K, resulting in a 2024 cap hit of $5.876M. The deal also incorporates four void years. In an unusual transaction, Diggs paid Texans safety Jimmie Ward $100,000 for the No. 1 jersey, his old college number. This acquisition and the subsequent adjustments to Diggs' contract have been a focal point in sports media, making the Texans the lead segment on national TV sports shows and altering betting odds. The trade, involving a 2nd round pick and Diggs' $22 million salary, has sparked discussions regarding its impact on the Texans' Super Bowl chances, Diggs' role in the team, and the financial implications of his contract.
