Added incentive for Stefon Diggs: As part of the Buffalo-Houston trade, the Texans wiped out the final three years on Diggs’ contract, giving him the ability to become a free agent after this season, league sources tell ESPN. The Texans also took the $3.5 million guaranteed to Diggs next season and moved up into this season, giving him a raise and assuring him of $22.52 million in guaranteed money in 2024. But if Diggs plays the way he wants, and Houston hopes, he will hit the free-agent market next offseason with the ability to make it count. Houston now anticipates getting the best version of Stefon Diggs
@AdamSchefter If he doesn’t get injured, he’s getting a BAG next season.
@AdamSchefter So the Texans are planning on letting him walk for a comp pick most likely after having a great year?
@AdamSchefter I like this deal a lot more now for Houston. Basically renting a high-end & motivated 31yrd old WR for will be the equivalent of a mid-3rd round pick. Give up a 2nd, while getting back a 4th (comp. pick), 5th & 6th equals mid-3rd.
@AdamSchefter Lmao diggs thinks he’s breaking the bank after a WR3 season as a 32 year old next year … this is going to be funny to look back on
@AdamSchefter There’s the curve ball we were all waiting on. The dead money ending after this year never made sense
