The Houston Texans have significantly upgraded their offense by acquiring RB Joe Mixon from the Cincinnati Bengals and WR Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills. The team's offense, led by QB CJ Stroud, now features a potent lineup with WRs Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and TE Dalton Schultz. The Bills, in trading away Diggs, incur a $31M dead money hit, including Diggs' $19.005 million cash obligation for the year, with an $18.5 million base salary that is fully guaranteed, a $250K workout bonus, and $255K in per-game roster bonuses. These strategic moves have transformed the Texans from a team with the No. 2 overall pick and viewed as a laughing stock last year, into a serious threat in the AFC.

Do you think the Bills make this Stefon Diggs trade if Brandon Beane/Sean McDermott’s jobs are in jeopardy?

Josh Allen with a chip on his shoulder might be the one to win the whole thing.. let’s see who they get but i think we will be iight 🦬 https://t.co/q0rJKL334g
Top #Bills 2024 Cap Hits 1. Stefon Diggs, $31.1M (dead) 2. Josh Allen, $30.3M 3. Von Miller, $15.1M 4. Matt Milano, $12.4M 5. Dion Dawkins, $11.5M *Tre'Davious White's $16.4M cap hit remains on the books until June 1st, after which it drops to $6.2M.
The Bills were so desperate to get Diggs off the team that it's costing them more in cap space to NOT have him ($31.1M) than to have him ($27.9M) -- a record amount of dead money for a non-QB, per Overthecap. #Bills
Obviously Stroud / Kincaid shares go brrrrrr Will need to investigate more thoroughly how to rank these HOU WRs IDK if BUF can make it work with their cap situation, but their offense takes a big hit unless they can trade for Aiyuk (which I think would be an upgrade) https://t.co/c5LU1CqjJ2
Stefon Diggs trade makes me think of dynasty trades. They flipped a first for him, got four years of amazing production, then traded him away for a second. That's not bad.
Texans turn a late first into Diggs, an early-mid 2nd next year, a fifth and sixth next year, and a late round pick bump this year. Nick Caserio doin work https://t.co/NpVXs0CBT0
The Bills will carry over $30M in dead money by trading away Stefon Diggs 😳 https://t.co/GIialJxSdk
Bills have taken some tough losses in free agency 🤕 • Stefon Diggs • Gabe Davis • Tre'Davious White • Jordan Poyer • Micah Hyde • Leonard Floyd • Trent Sherfield • Sirian Neal • Nyheim Hines https://t.co/zLj75TH0KU
Confirmed that the Stefon Diggs' trade will not be processed as a post-June 1 designation, so that is just over $31 million in dead cap this year. Per @ESPNStatsInfo, this will be the highest known dead money charge for a wide receiver in any season all-time.
Ian: Bills are going through a full "reset" https://t.co/AhJSdyImXo
Report: Stefon Diggs traded to the Houston Texans "I knew he wouldn't be a Buffalo Bill for long. This just put the Texans in a different area code." @keyshawn https://t.co/bQKDLcpe7A
If the Packers can make a playoff run with a first year starter at QB while dealing with Rodgers 40mil cap hit, Josh Allen and the Bills should be able to weather the storm of Digss dead money. https://t.co/LsHA1AKte8
Biggest winners of the Stefon Diggs trade: CJ Stroud Dalton Kincaid my TE5 now Pick 28 of the draft -- whichever WR Buffalo takes Low-key: Curtis Samuel (but I was already way above consensus so not moving him for now)
Good trade here for both teams. Diggs was very frustrated in Buffalo and Houston is giving Stroud another weapon on offense. https://t.co/3K5MO0SE99

Stefon Diggs playing in Houston is bad news for a number of our favorite fantasy players. Here are my initial thoughts on the trade... https://t.co/IDSxCBBENI
I wonder who is happiest, Bills or Texans (maybe Diggs?). Pretty good escape by Buffalo to get a 2 for player whose time with team had just about run its course; fresh start for Diggs could make him more valuable to HST https://t.co/tVSO4b9ld4

The Houston Texans are scheduled to host the Buffalo Bills next season, so the NFL schedule makers now have to factor in a Stefon Diggs revenge game. The Texans will also play the Cowboys in Dallas next year, which means Stefon Diggs could line up against his brother, Trevon. https://t.co/WlL4mAaavz
Houston Texans’ Super Bowl odds at @DKSportsbook before trading for Stefon Diggs: 25-1 Now: 17-1
Whatever you think of the Texans trading for Stefon Diggs, the lesson here for the Commanders is clear: When you nail the No. 2 pick and have a stud QB on a rookie deal you are able to 'go for it.' That's what the Texans have done all offseason. Could be Washington next year.
C.J. Stroud led all rookie QBs in fantasy points in 2023. His weapons in 2024: · Stefon Diggs (fantasy WR10) · Nico Collins (fantasy WR9) · Tank Dell (2nd in fantasy PPG among rookie WRs) Which QBs would you draft over Stroud next year? https://t.co/Wa53BgPKeb
With the addition of Stefon Diggs, the Houston Texans' offense is absolutely LOADED 🔥 https://t.co/jS1HCD3Pyv

The #Bills get off of $19M cash in 2024, and in acquiring a 2025 2nd Rd pick, should have the ammo to move up & snag Stefon Diggs' replacement in this year's draft on a rookie contract that likely costs around $19M over 4 years.
HOUSTON WE UP https://t.co/0NeqP2UO5Q
The @HoustonTexans are done messing around. One of only 4 NFL franchises to never play in a Super Bowl just added @stefondiggs to a young team that finished two wins away from it last year.
The Texans continue to put talent around their young QB in a major way. With this trade, CJ Stroud be surrounded by: Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz and Joe Mixon. 🤯 https://t.co/vSd2MojPBW

Houston kept Dalton Schultz. It traded for Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs. And Tank Dell is on the mend. The Texans have a top _____ offense in football. https://t.co/uB0WSvvI4Y https://t.co/NJEu1k2qjL
Seems wrong this is the final big play of Stefon Diggs’ Bills career. While he’s no longer a No. 1 WR, thought the Bills would give it one more year given the salary cap implications of a trade. Don’t see Josh Allen’s productivity being impacted at all. https://t.co/ukB19Po9XS
At this time last year, the #Texans had the No. 2 overall pick and were viewed by some as a laughing stock in the NFL. A year later, they are trading for Stefon Diggs and are a serious threat in the AFC. The NFL is amazing. https://t.co/LW5GNJMQwR
#BuffaloBills BREAKING: #StefonDiggs Traded to Houston #Texans in Shocking Move https://t.co/SlyvreoNk4
Diggs is one of the best receivers in football and this trade has all NFL observers thinking, well, the Texans might win it all now. And Angry Elon Site Guy is furious at me noting that he didn't go for a 1st-round pick which sets a WR trade market value. https://t.co/nYxkc0XAnf

Nick Caserio has made two key trades in the last month: RB Joe Mixon with the Bengals and WR Stefon Diggs with the Bills. C.J. Stroud's offense should be vastly improved to go with WRs Nico Collins and Tank Dell and TE Dalton Schultz.
Houston Texans are all in https://t.co/AaTtllnKsR
If there was nothing done to the Diggs contract, the Bills will have a $31M dead money hit and take on an extra $3M against the cap vs keeping him.
