Dallas Cowboys ‘BS’ As Trevon Brother Stefon Diggs Traded from Bills to Texans.
Dallas Cowboys Rumors Were ‘BS’ As Trevon’s Brother Stefon Diggs is Traded from the Buffalo Bills to the Houston Texans.
FRISCO – Stefon Diggs is in the news again. Only this time it’s really news.
Some Dallas Cowboys folks, including Stefon’s own brother, Dallas star cornerback Trevon Diggs, have over the last couple of years tried to see an “America’s Team” connection.
But today? The rumors are, as one source close to the situation puts it to CowboysSI.com, “More bull*** than ever!” And why? Because Stefon just got traded from the Bills to the Texans for a second-round pick … a pricy deal especially in terms of salary.
So it turns out, there is a way to do “pricy.” But you already knew Dallas wasn’t going there, right?
The latest in the ongoing saga with the Buffalo Bills receiver? Diggs recently posted that he’s “Ready for whatever.” Pair that with his recent vague answer when speaking about his future with the Bills … and we had ourselves rumor traction.
“I don’t know,” Diggs said when asked if he’ll be with Buffalo next season. “I feel like as far as with the money and all that type of stuff, I can’t control none of that. It’s a long offseason in front of me. As far as what the future holds, I don’t have any surprises for you right now.”
Ah, the money. As we’ve calculated it, trading Diggs would cause Buffalo to incur a “punishment” of $31 million in dead money against the 2024 cap. That’s if he’s moved before June 1 (which is the only way Buffalo could get draft picks in exchange for a trade.)

The Texans found a way to do something that we doubt Dallas even much explored. Oh, and …
His salary is for 2024, as he’s age 31, is $28 million. And there are three more years on his deal after that, at about $26 million per season.
Was Dallas ever going to take that on for a gifted-but-fading talent who finished the year with 107 catches for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns but dipped late, as is in the final eight games of the regular season he caught 37 passes for 349 yards and one touchdown? Nah.
And now that the Cowboys are showing their hands a bit at a possible long-term plan (all of these one-year, lame-duck contracts suggesting a “Blow It Up” rebuild after 2024)? They were even less likely to even consider a move to unite Diggs with his brother … no matter how much Trevon wants it and no matter how much Stefon wants … whatever.
That’s why a long-standing “probably not” regarding Diggs and Dallas just decelerated into a “More Bull**** Than Ever!” reality. … with Trevon coming to Texas – just not to Dallas.
