On Wednesday, the Houston Texans acquired star wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills for a 2025 second-round pick. People are piling on the Bills, who will take an unprecedented dead cap hit to clear what they still owe of Diggs’ salary while only landing a future second, but I’d be wary of giving too much praise to the Texans.
Houston has done an excellent job, between getting their franchise quarterback in CJ Stroud and finding some outstanding young receivers for him in Tank Dell and Nico Collins. They turned their franchise around and became major contenders lightning fast, and they’ve done so through youth.
