The Buffalo Bills agree to trade top receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Whether or not he knew a trade to the Houston Texans was in the works, Stefon Diggs’ tenure with the Bills ended with a two-word question, summing up, perhaps, why the mercurial receiver’s commitment to Buffalo was frequently scrutinized. For the Bills, Diggs’ departure has the potential of putting a major dent in the team’s chances to contend for a fifth straight AFC East title, something general manager Brandon Beane acknowledged. In an offseason where Beane focused on slashing a bloated payroll, by cutting key players to get under the salary cap, trading Diggs actually adds more than $3 million to Buffalo’s total this year. Confusion then arose when Diggs wasn’t present for the Bills’ first mandatory practice and McDermott said he was “concerned” about the player’s absence.
