Football fans, get ready for a shake-up! 🏈
In a surprising move, the Houston Texans have altered the contract of their star wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, wiping out its final three years. According to ESPN, this means Diggs will hit free agency after the 2024 NFL season! 🤯
The Texans traded big to get Diggs, giving up a 2025 second-round pick (from the Minnesota Vikings), plus a 2024 sixth-rounder and a 2025 fifth-rounder from the Buffalo Bills. Diggs was on a four-year, $104 million deal when he joined Houston, but the Texans have assured him $22.5 million guaranteed for the 2024 season and moved up the $3.5 million guaranteed for 2025 to this season. 💰
But it's not just the Texans feeling the impact. The Bills are facing a whopping $31.096 million in dead money—the highest ever for a wide receiver—on their 2024 payroll, all because of sending Diggs away. Ouch! 😬
This move could shake things up in the NFL, and we're here for all the drama! Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story. 📺
