Stroud mentioned that he unintentionally fell back asleep without realizing the significance of the calls regarding the trade. It wasn’t until later that he understood what had transpired. He expressed his excitement about the situation, finding it enjoyable and cool. He recalled meeting Diggs at the Pro Bowl and expressed anticipation about deepening their connection as teammates.
Reflecting on the addition of Diggs to the team, Texans coach DeMeco Ryans emphasized their excitement. Ryans noted that they thoroughly evaluated Diggs as a player, considering his past accomplishments, including being an All-Pro and Pro Bowl player with multiple 1,000-yard seasons. Ryans expressed enthusiasm about integrating Diggs into their already formidable offense.
Bills Moving on After Stefon Diggs Trade
The trade caught many off guard, especially considering Bills’ GM Brandon Beane’s prior declaration that Diggs would remain the team’s primary receiver for the upcoming season. However, Beane revealed that ongoing discussions with the Texans led them to finalize the deal upon receiving a second-round pick offer.
Beane stated on April 3, via the team’s official website, that recent developments made the trade viable for both parties, prompting them to seal the deal.
Despite parting ways with their top receiver shortly after losing Gabe Davis in free agency, Beane remained steadfast in his belief that the team would remain competitive in the upcoming season.
Beane emphasized that every decision, however challenging, is made with the intention of winning, reaffirming that the Bills’ actions are not indicative of surrender or regression. Rather, they are driven by the relentless pursuit of success.
