Stefon Diggs Rumors: Texans Will Only Sign WR to 'Team-Friendly' Contract After Injury
As star wide receiver Stefon Diggs prepares to enter free agency, it sounds like he will have to take a pay cut if he hopes to stay with the Houston Texans.
After being acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Bills last offseason, Diggs was limited to eight games in 2024 after suffering a torn ACL. ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime reported that the 31-year-old still made $22.52 million from the Texans for his lost season.
However, Houston likely won't offer Diggs a major payday for him to return to the team, as a source told Bien-Aime that "it'll come down to finding a team-friendly number if they were to re-sign him. Something less than what he made in 2024."

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Upon acquiring Diggs from the Bills, the Texans eliminated the final three years of his contract. Houston hoped that spending a year paired with rising star quarterback C.J. Stroud would convince the four-time Pro Bowler to continue their partnership beyond the 2024 campaign, but the injury potentially derailed those plans.
In his eight appearances this past season, Diggs notched 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns while also adding a rushing touchdown. When healthy, he can be one of the most reliable receivers in the league.
If Diggs doesn't return to the Texans, it will be interesting to see the type of offers he gets from other teams in free agency coming off such a devastating injury.
