Could the Texans really snag Stefon Diggs? Let’s dive into this intriguing possibility and weigh the offensive needs against the current receiver talent in Houston.
The Texans have been busy bolstering their defense, aiming to maintain their top-tier status in 2026. But now, the focus might shift to offense.
The buzz around town is whether Houston could bring in free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs. However, not everyone is convinced this move is likely.
Jared Koch from Houston Texans on SI provides some insights into why signing Diggs might not be in the cards.
First off, any team looking to snag Diggs would need to offer a solid contract, even on a short-term basis. Despite being 32, Diggs is still a top-tier pass-catcher, leading an offense that nearly boasted a league MVP in Drake Maye.
But let’s look at what the Texans already have. Their wide receiver lineup is shaping up to be stronger than last year, even without Diggs.
Nico Collins is set to lead the charge, with Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel entering their second seasons. Add a healthy Tank Dell and reliable Xavier Hutchinson to the mix, and you’ve got a formidable group.
Plus, the upcoming draft offers Houston a chance to further bolster their receiving corps without breaking the bank.
Financially, making room for Diggs is a tough call. Sure, he’d be a boost to the offense, but Koch points out that the Texans might need to prioritize strengthening their offensive line instead.
Higgins and Noel provide a solid complement to star receiver Nico Collins. With these playmakers, along with star running back David Montgomery, the Texans' offense seems poised to make some noise.
