Stefon Diggs Traded to Houston Texans

On April 3, 2024 the Buffalo Bills announced a trade sending wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. The Bills' official announcement listed the terms: Buffalo received a 2025 second-round pick (via the Minnesota Vikings), while Houston received WR Stefon Diggs, a 2024 sixth-round pick (No. 189 overall) and a 2025 fifth-round pick [4]. Associated Press coverage syndicated to outlets reported the trade the same day, noting the move shifted Diggs from an AFC East contender to the Texans' receiving corps and altering the schedule of potential future matchups against NFC opponents like the Green Bay Packers [3]. The trade changed Diggs' team designation in public records and roster listings, and the Bills' team site published the official trade language confirming the compensation and timing [4].

The trade matters to the Diggs–Alexander narrative because moving Diggs from Buffalo to Houston materially reduced the likelihood of scheduled Buffalo–Green Bay regular-season meetings that would have produced repeat Diggs–Alexander on-field matchups. With Diggs in the AFC, routine NFC North encounters became less frequent, lowering the probability of immediate follow-ups to the Oct. 30, 2022 tunnel exchange and changing how reporters framed future interactions between the two players [3][4].

After the April 3, 2024 trade was announced, the immediate practical consequence was a reduced schedule probability for Diggs to face Jaire Alexander in regular-season play, since Diggs moved to the AFC with Houston and Alexander remained with Green Bay through the 2024 season timeframe in the sources reviewed [3][4]. The trade was reported and confirmed via the Bills' official site and the Associated Press wire; in the public corpus there are no verified accounts of renewed confrontations between Diggs and Alexander after the trade within the research window [4][3].
