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.
