Stefon Diggs, a former Buffalo Bills wide receiver, was dealt to the Houston Texans on April 3, 2024. Diggs, a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and a fifth-round pick in 2025 were traded to the Texans for a second-round pick in 2025. This decision has caused much discussion and controversy, particularly given Diggs’ excellent career with the Bills, where he averaged over 1,100 yards each season and never scored less than eight touchdowns.
The trade’s background is now being presented in a dramatic light following the disclosure of a text message in which the Bills’ top quarterback, Josh Allen, referred to Diggs as a “B**ch Boy.” This disparaging remark has given additional insight on potential problems between the two teammates, which may have influenced the Bills’ decision to trade Diggs.
The controversy began after popular Bills fan WyattzWorld tweeted a snapshot of a text interaction with Allen in which the quarterback’s irritation with Diggs was palpably evident. The manner of Allen’s comment has sparked heated debate regarding the chemistry of the Bills’ locker room and whether this tension was a motivating force behind the move.
The factors that influenced the Bills-Texans trade
Diggs’ departure from Buffalo follows a series of public conflicts with Allen, most notably following the Bills’ 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the 2023 AFC Championship game. Diggs was noticeably agitated on the sidelines, talking with Allen about not being targeted enough throughout the game. This event, among others, has been highlighted as evidence of the player’s worsening relationship with the quarterback, which may have compelled the Bills to act.
The Bills have yet to formally comment on the leaked text or the particular reasons for Diggs’ trade. However, insiders indicate that the front management was eager to appease Allen, who has emerged as a crucial role in the team’s strategy and future plans.
The Houston Texans are surely excited to add Diggs to their offense, hoping that his established track record as a dynamic and effective receiver can help raise their club. Meanwhile, the Bills must deal with the consequences of this trade and the leaked text as they prepare for the 2024 season without one of their most productive receivers.
