Pro Bowl receiver Stefon Diggs may be looking for a new home. His brother, Trevon, might be the perfect leverage to reunite the pair in Dallas.
After an injury-riddled contract year with the Houston Texans, star wideout Stefon Diggs is a free agent. Despite his ACL tear being the brunt of last season’s disappointment, the Pro Bowl receiver may be interested in moving on anyway.
In 2024 Diggs joined C.J. Stroud and the Texans via trade from Buffalo, but the pairing fell short of meeting expectations.
The veteran receiver totaled career lows in targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns.
Granted, he only played in eight games prior to his knee injury. But the move does not resonate as a big hit.
With his one-year deal up in Houston, the 31-year-old now has a decision to make.
Can he return to stardom as a member of the Texans? Or is another change of scenery the ticket to turning his career around?
For the Dallas Cowboys, a player like Diggs could be a coveted piece to not firt only the team’s needs, but to fortify the culture new head coach Brian Schottenheimer aims to build.
They may also have the ace up their sleeve to lure Stefon: his younger brother Trevon.
Standout cornerback Trevon, entering his sixth season with the Cowboys, is also recovering from an ACL surgery that forced him to miss the entire season, but is set to have a massive impact once he returns.
Stefon and Trevon Diggs reuniting as members of the Cowboys almost makes too much sense … right?
Both parties, Stefon Diggs and Dallas, are in “win-it” windows. The Cowboys desperately need a receiver opposite of CeeDee Lamb.
Diggs needs a place where he doesn’t have to be a No. 1 option in order to bring himself back from injury.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
The relationship-driven culture of the locker room under “Schotty” would also be a perfect fit for the Diggs reunion. … though we certainly recognize that Stefon has a reputation for bringing some “dramatic baggage” to wherever he goes.
The only downside, outside of that? Money, of course.
Per Spotrac, the elder Diggs would cost a projected $13 million to go along with other red flags related to his age and injury recovery issue and that “drama.”
While the price may be high, is Dallas in a desperate-enough situation to take the risk?
Some signs point to Stefon Diggs and the Dallas Cowboys being a brotherly match made in heaven.
Only if both sides want to make that happen, of course.
