Adding Stefon Diggs cements Texans as true championship contenders

YardBarker - 114 days ago - Since most of the aftermath of the Stefon Diggs trade has been about the future of Josh Allen and the Bills, the other story is what this signifies for C.J. Stroud and the Texans. Even taking into account having J.J. Watt and Andre Johnson in their prime, this now has to be the most excited a Texans fan has ever been in an offseason. On the heels of lightning up the league with a rookie sensation at quarterback, Houston sent a big message to the rest of the NFL by adding a player of the caliber of Diggs. It's clear the Texans are serious about winning right now. Diggs, 30, who just posted his sixth straight season with over 1,000 receiving yards in 2023, now joins Nico Collins, fresh off a career-high of 1,297 yards himself, and Tank Dell to form a very potent offense in Houston. Stroud's job will be even easier with so many weapons around him. And while bringing in Diggs would be worth any potential risk for a franchise ready to win at a high level, the Texans managed to pull the deal off without giving

Former QB exposes NFC East team following latest blockbuster trade

YardBarker - 114 days ago - Former QB and ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III believes actions speak louder than words. There are several teams every year that state they're going "all in" to win a Super Bowl, but only a portion of those teams do what it takes in the offseason to be a true contender. Griffin III thinks that the Houston Texans' latest blockbuster trade for Bills four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver proves they can contend for a Super Bowl next season. He also shared his thoughts on a team that has done nothing to support its all in claim. "The Houston Texans are making the moves the Dallas Cowboys should have if they were really ALL IN," Griffin III posted on platform X. Why Griffin III felt the need to expose the Cowboys following the Texans' big day is unknown, but he isn't incorrect in his beliefs. Dallas has had arguably the worst offseason in the league but continues to believe it will contend for a Super Bowl next season. In fact, the team hasn't even been to a conference championship since the 1995 season. So, why would

NFL exec suggests deep draft class may entice 49ers to trade Brandon Aiyuk

YardBarker - 114 days ago - Following the blockbuster trade that sent receiver Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans, some have wondered if San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk could be next. Aiyuk and the 49ers have been stalemated in a contract negotiation, and if the two sides don’t agree to a new deal soon, it’s possible San Francisco could trade the 26-year-old WR ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, according to a league executive. “Aiyuk is so integral to what they do, more so than Deebo Samuel is, that I’d try to get something done with him before Justin Jefferson and these other receivers get deals and the price goes up,” an anonymous NFL exec told The Athletic. “Because this is a deep receiver draft, they may try to do it in reverse. If there is something they can get done from a draft standpoint, then it could be moving Aiyuk or knowing their feet are to the fire and they have to extend him.” To the executive’s point, it would behoove the 49ers to get Aiyuk’s extension done before Minnesota does Jefferson’s.
