Buffalo Bills reportedly allowed Stefon Diggs to seek trade from all but one rival team
New information on the trade of Stefon Diggs has come to light. The Buffalo Bills allowed wide receiver Stefon Diggs to seek a trade from all other teams, except the Kansas City Chiefs, according to national media member Chris Simms. This was reportedly a caveat that he could not pursue a trade with the Chiefs. The end result of this was a deal with the Houston Texans, which saw Diggs, a 2024 sixth round pick and a 2025 fifth round pick traded to the Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick that originally belonged to the Minnesota Vikings. Diggs did not land with the KC Chiefs via trade, but he could potentially play for them as early as 2025. Houston has voided the final three years of Diggs' contract, making him a free agent at the end of the season.

One day after the trade of Stefon Diggs was announced, new details are emerging on the wide receiver’s departure from the Buffalo Bills.
One national media member, Chris Simms, stated that Buffalo allowed Diggs to seek a trade with one caveat. He could not pursue a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“From what I do know, is he was allowed to seek a trade from anybody in the league except the Kansas City Chiefs, Mike,” Simms told Florio. “That’s what I’ve been told by multiple people. He was allowed to do that. The Chiefs were the only team they weren’t going to trade to.”
The end result was a deal with the Houston Texans. Buffalo ended up trading Diggs, a 2024 sixth round pick and a 2025 fifth round pick to the Texans in exchange for a 2025 second round pick that originally belonged to the Minnesota Vikings.
Diggs did not land with the Kansas City Chiefs via trade, but it turns out that he could go there sooner rather than later. It was announced on Thursday that Houston voided the final three years of Diggs’ contract which will make him a free agent at the end of the season. If Diggs wants to play for Andy Reid and with Patrick Mahomes, there is now a path for him to do so as early as 2025.
