Wide receiver Stefon Diggs just had an intriguing season with the Houston Texans. During that year, he was restricted to only eight games due to a torn ACL but still recorded 47 catches, 496 yards, and three touchdowns.
Nonetheless, indications suggest that this will be his first and only season with the team, as he has not yet signed an extension and is scheduled to enter free agency and be eligible to sign with a team on March 12.
Ian Valentino from the 33rd Team anticipates that Diggs will secure a new destination for the 2025 season, joining the Detroit Lions and teaming up with quarterback Jared Goff, who will be embarking on the first year of a four-year $212 million contract extension.
Stefon Diggs shares his emotions about facing the Buffalo Bills on Sunday following the victory against the Houston Texans.
It would be a fascinating decision for the Lions since they already possess wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is signed through the end of 2028, and Jameson Williams, who is contracted until after 2026.
Diggs wouldn’t instantly become Goff’s primary target, since St. Brown has occupied that role since 2020, and he might even rank below Williams, who totaled 58 receptions, 1,001 yards, and seven touchdowns in 2024.
Given that Spotrac presently estimates Diggs’ market value at $13.5 million each year, that’s a significant amount for someone who might assume the position of wide receiver three.
