This week the Dallas Cowboys introduced again offensive lineman Chuma Edoga which fortified their depth within the trenches (it shouldn’t have modified their draft technique by the way in which). Shortly earlier than that information broke it was reported that the Houston Texans had been buying and selling for broad receiver Stefon Diggs which was clearly a blockbuster-type transfer. Many Cowboys followers shortly identified that Dallas hosts Houston in 2024 which implies we must always lastly get to see Trevon Diggs cowl his brother in an NFL sport. Trevon was clearly damage this previous season when the Cowboys visited the Buffalo Payments which might have truly been the primary probability.
Stefon touchdown within the state of Texas hardly places him on the identical group as his brother, however we all know that the duo actually desires to play collectively. Think about that final yr Trevon petitioned throughout an interview with us for Cowboys Nation to tweet about getting his brother to Dallas.
On the time Stefon appeared fairly un-gettable given the contract extension he had lately signed with the Buffalo Payments. Nonetheless although, it was notable that Trevon would exit on such a limb like that.
Clearly this quote made the rounds and shortly after Stefon himself was requested about it. He shared that it was a dream to play together with his brother.
That was final yr. A whole season occurred between then and now, one which was misplaced for Trevon and irritating for Stefon. All through the low factors of the yr Trevon may very well be discovered tweeting issues about his brother needing to separate from the Buffalo Payments.
As famous, that formally occurred which brings us again to the place we’re at the moment. However the place we’re at the moment can also be a world the place Stefon has a re-worked take care of his new group within the Houston Texans.
This new deal permits him to be a free agent in 2025.
As a part of their deal to amass Diggs, the Texans are eliminating the ultimate three years of Diggs’ contract, NFL Community Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday. The transfer provides 4 void years to Diggs’ deal, whereas shifting cash initially assured for 2025 into 2024, successfully giving Diggs a one-year, $22.52 million contract, per Rapoport.
Diggs will turn into an unrestricted free agent in 2025, which means his first season with the Texans is also his final. Diggs may, after all, re-sign with Houston in 2025, however he gained’t be tied to an extension he initially signed in Buffalo.
That is an attention-grabbing transfer from the Texans to say the least, however what issues is that Stefon can be on the open market subsequent yr for the primary time in his profession (and clearly for the primary time in Trevon’s). For the primary time he could have a possibility to hyperlink up together with his brother and if the 2 are ever going to play collectively then given the extension Trevon signed himself with the Cowboys final yr, probably the most logical place is Dallas.
Stefon Diggs can be 31 years previous subsequent yr which is able to clearly make betting on him a bit tough, but when he’s coming off of a promising season with the Texans then it’s going to all be relative. By that cut-off date CeeDee Lamb’s (hopefully) inevitable extension will formally be on the books and the Cowboys may very well be in search of a brand new wingman for him. Given the cash that Lamb will possible command, it’s arduous to imagine it is going to be any individual on a big contract.
However the stars appear to be aligning for Trevon and Stefon to have the ability to play collectively within the NFL. On the very least subsequent yr can be current the primary actual and legit alternative.
