Diggs was traded to the Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick (owned by Minnesota). In addition to Diggs, the Bills sent Houston a sixth-round pick this season and a fifth-round pick in 2025.
Diggs took to Instagram on Wednesday to say one last goodbye to the team and Bills Mafia.

But was this a mistake for the Bills?
Members of Bills Mafia are now wondering what's next as the team searches for its new number one wide receiver. For the last four seasons, that was never a question. Diggs was a lock to get 100 catches and surpass 1,000 yards. But now with Diggs in Houston and Gabe Davis in Jacksonville, the Bills need to find two new targets for Josh Allen.
Without Diggs and Davis, the Bills wide receiver room now includes:
- Curtis Samuel
- Khalil Shakir
- Mack Hollins
- Justin Shorter
- KJ Hamler
- Andy Isabella
- Tyrell Shavers
- Bryan Thompson
That's not necessarily a list loaded with top-end proven talent. Samuel and Shakir are nice pieces, but the Bills need to add a player that can become Allen's security blanket.
