Buffalo Bills Trade Stefon Diggs to Houston Texans Over Cap Concerns

General Manager Brandon Beane cites financial flexibility and roster balance as key reasons for the high-profile move.

The Bills faced a $31 million dead cap hit for Diggs in 2024, the highest for any receiver in NFL history.
Diggs' contract was restructured by the Texans, allowing him to become a free agent after the 2024 season.
Buffalo added veteran receivers Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and drafted Keon Coleman.
Diggs had six consecutive seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards but experienced a decline in 2023.
The move aims to keep the Bills competitive while managing long-term financial stability.
