The Houston Texans have made a bold move by altering the contract of their star wide receiver, Stefon Diggs. According to ESPN, the Texans wiped out the final three years of Diggs' contract, making him a free agent once the 2024 NFL season wraps up.
This strategic decision comes after the Texans spent a hefty price to bring Diggs on board. They traded away a 2025 second-round pick (via the Minnesota Vikings), a 2024 sixth-rounder, and a 2025 fifth-rounder from the Buffalo Bills to secure his talents. Despite the high cost, Diggs was still under a four-year, $104 million contract when he joined the Texans.
For the 2024 season, Diggs is guaranteed $22.5 million, with an additional $3.5 million guaranteed for 2025 added to this season's payout. However, the Texans' decision to part ways with Diggs early means the Bills will face a significant impact, carrying $31.096 million of dead money on their payroll for 2024—the highest ever for a wide receiver, as reported by ESPN.
