Stefon Diggs recently moved. Following several months of speculation that he was unhappy with the Buffalo Bills, there were rumours that the talented wide receiver was up for trade. He was traded to the Houston Texans in the same offseason, proving that the rumour was indeed accurate. Diggs is now set to compete for his first ring alongside a young quarterback in CJ Stroud.
Stefon Diggs finally discussed the deal that took him to the Houston Texans a few months after it happened. According to DJ Bien-Amie of ESPN, the standout wide receiver described the trade as a “breath of fresh air.” Here is his complete quote on the subject.
Diggs stated, “They’re very welcoming.” “Very welcoming, and I simply think it’s important for me to take part in events like that.” It’s sincere. In that environment, you flourish. You do best in an environment where you are loved. Surround yourself with people who genuinely care about you and want you to succeed, and you will flourish.
Stroud discussed the Diggs agreement as well. Since his trade, Diggs has assumed a leadership position with the Texans, according to the quarterback. Stroud added that he believed the elite wide receiver valued having other “dogs” in his presence.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud stated, “Diggs has come in and been a leader, which I’m proud of him for. He just really has been unselfish and wanted to see other guys eat.” That was his primary concern. He assumed the part where dogs are everywhere since he wanted to be with other dogs. He glances left and right, and he anticipates seeing a dog. it is what we bring to the table, and it is what he desired.
Having an elite wide receiver alongside a quarterback has become a successful formula in the NFL, as seen with the Bills pairing Diggs with Allen. This strategy is evident across the league, with top teams boasting elite QB-WR duos. The Texans added Diggs to their roster to elevate their already strong core around Stroud. Comparatively, Stroud is superior to Allen and Hurts, who faced challenges before their respective trades for Diggs and Brown. While theoretical success doesn’t always translate on the field, the Texans’ star duo will need to find a successful groove together. Balancing touches among their star players is a challenge but a good one to have. The upcoming 2024 season will reveal the true potential of this formidable new Texans team.
