That’s why Mike Evans is so good! Puts up elite numbers and NEVER bitches about anything!
Yep The only thing he likes to kneel during the National Anthem LOL
@@RALPHCASALEok? Do you have a problem with free speech?
How do you know that? Just because he doesn't bitch in front of the camera doesn't mean he doesn't bitch to his coaches, players or agent.
@@BLGClipsxDoesn’t make the N word okay…
Listen to the song by Drake: HoustAlantaVegas 👌🏾 He agrees… 😂
Diggs had 160 targets last year and still wasn't happy
ALWAYS BLAME THE SOUL BROTHER!
@@williamparker3328soul brother dropped a sure TD late in the game against KC that would have won it for the Bills. He forced his way out of Minnesota and now Buffalo so fuck the soul brother don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
@@williamparker3328 what is it gonna take to make him happy
DIVA WR 101
I mean a lot of players wouldn't be happy with not winning the SB...
Diggs has pulled the same stunt twice now. He's a baby.
* Narcissistic Baby
He dropped two big footballs in last years playoffs and was surly all year. He did little to get along with Josh Allen.
Steve Kim booking his flight to Portland after the show 😂
I'll be on the flight with him 😅
Portland does not have strip clubs anymore. Use to live there and I hardly noticed crap
I laughed out loud when Steven went hmmm after jason brought up Portland
Portland??????? Go to Dallas then wax poetic
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Diggs is ass cancer to a locker room
he worries more about fashion than football
absolutely quit on the Bills in the biggest spot of his life
Ass cancer LOL
I have Cancer, I don't find your joke funny.
Do better.

Some players are a cancer to the locker room. Diggs is one of those players.
Moss, Owens and Antonio Brown were the same, but they were way more productive than Diggs.
@@rooseveltdarbey9493you watch too much espn. Smh.
MN Vikings did great by trading Diggs for Jefferson.
Minnesota still has football team?
That’s not a good comp, unless Minnesota figures out their QB situation Jettas is outta there
@@RawwRexfrfr 😂😂😂😂 Kirk in Atlanta now.
We ain’t won shit. Jettas definitely a comparable wr but it hasn’t translated to meaningful wins for us. Should’ve traded theilen instead. Imagine if we had diggs and Jettas the last few years
@@khuncho28lol buffalo wasn’t trading a 1st for theilen. So no Jefferson if that deal gets done
In 2004 during a game against the New York Giants, Donovan McNabb got so fed up with Terrell Owens that he told him to “shut the f*ck up” once he started going off about being open and not getting the ball.
And you do know during the super bowl Donovan McNabb was throwing up on the sidelines and having panic attacks😂😂😂😂 Donovan McNabb was the reason they lost at super bowl against the Patriots
@@tuubu9115 The reason they were there.
@@tuubu9115, a lot has been said about Donovan McNabb being poorly prepared for that Super Bowl. Yeah, I know McNabb was a product of Andy Reid’s system, but I still proudly wear my 20-year-old #5 jersey today.
Diggs questioning Allen's abilities while he dropped the sixty yard DIME that was in his hands late in the KC loss that probably would have won the game is epic. Diggs disappeared the last two thirds of the season last year and was a basic NON FACTOR in the playoffs. Allen's the problem though ......
He got paid to drop that ball
Yup.
@@oaklandtraphouseWere is the pay stub/evidence? If not it’s just your opinion
@@CBJ2007 did you watch that game , we've seen digging make catches 10 x harder than that then all of a sudden he can't make a easy one lol don't let them fool you, it's all rigged up
That was an amazing throw.
After seeing repeated shots of Diggs whining to Allen on the bench last season, I would NOT want that guy in a young QB's ear when he should be solely focused on reading defenses. The Texans are taking needless risks with their future.
Allen was always choking
You need to go look at the deal again Houston has everything to gain and nothing to lose
Stephon Diggs dropped the winning touchdown pass against Kansas City in the playoffs. Had he caught that pass, he'd still be with the team.
What you guys are forgetting is that the head coach isn't going to stand for any of Diggs antics.
Exactly. They're underestimating the new culture in Houston and who's running the show now and the locker room. Change of scenery is usually a good thing. It's low risk high reward also he's on a prove it 1 year deal now. I believe he'll be a great addition. If not for some reason they'll drop him in a heartbeat. Cj is no punk he's an alpha. Texans already have 2 number 1 type WRs. Alot of these comments are just ignorant asf
What he gonna do..fire him??..nah he gonna put up with it
Said the same thing in buffalo
@@tricktaylor1983 Shaun McDermott is NOT Demeco Ryans
@@Autoghostsproutwhat does that mean lol? I hope you're not implying Ryans is better than McDermott.
Gabe Davis signed with the Jags 🐆
Yup...both these guys are CLUELESS
Stephanie Diggs is a bum, dropped passes right in his hands in playoffs, probably did it on purpose
Wow dude. Yeah no1 ever drops passes. How old are you. He's a bum!? Nah he's an elite receiver. You're a bum compared to him. Probably compared to alot of ppl
@@nathanholman1475 Diggs wanted to complain and be a distraction, he will not win a Super Bowl on new team. The main reason I call him a bum is Buffalo has had good chances to get to the Super Bowl the last 4-5 years and he acted like he a sissy in the playoffs, scared to take a hit to make a catch. When a Diva signs a huge contract extension and team gives you 30 million cash for 1 season you better catch the ball when it counts and not act like a fool and don’t show up to training camp.
@@charlieb308 ok expert. How tha hell do you know he's scared to take a hit. You're funny. Calling ppl yiu don't know who is 1 of the most productive WRs actually the most in the last 4 years. He'll be good. He's now on a prove it contract. How come no teams have offered you a contract to scout or coach since you're a football genius. He's gonna ball this season. Watch.. you'll have an excuse when he does. Cj is deadly accurate passing too. You play different when you aren't happy. Also EVERY receiver drops passes. EVERY. You sound bitter. Are u a Bill's fan just curious
@@nathanholman1475 when you’re paying someone 30 million dollars you expect a MoFo to do his job and keep his mouth shut. The Bills paid him 31 million dollars this summer, last year he was paid and didn’t even show up to work one day and threatened to not come, guy is a loser.
To be fair, he didn’t drop it…he didn’t even get a hand on it.
Whitlock adding Portland to the list proves that he STILL is a scrip club connoisseur 😂
I don’t know why mainstream media hasn’t talked more about this mans attitude and the concerns that would come along with that.
Nice Jerry Butler reference.
Gabe Went To Jacksonville
Good riddance
The offense will better because Josh won't have to force feed one reciever. They'll be able to spread the ball around and run more, which is what Brady wants.
Let’s see how well Jason’s take on CJ Stroud and the Texan’s season next year ages.
When Nico Collins have a 10 catches 2TD game in a win & Diggs have 2 catches he be pouting.
I am a huge Stroud fan and so now also a Texans fan. I am worried about this new addition. The Texans had so much positive mojo and now they bring in a player that historically causes bad team mojo. I don't understand it.
Meco and Stroud won't alow that bs in Houston. They are alphas with a team that had his back. If he came in their acting up he'll be gone in literally 1 min. Ppl have no clue what they're talking about. Just talking to here themselves talk
Korean Cosell said that ALL wide receiver's are divas. I vehemently disagree. There's many wide receiver's who aren't divas but many are.
Obviously it wasn't meant tp be taken literally
Houston redid his contract so it's only a 1 year deal. If he signs elsewhere in '25, Houston gets a compensatory 3rd rd pick. Diggs will be on his best behavior to get a new contract. Caserio turned the #23 overall pick into:
- Stefon Diggs
- 2024 2nd #42 from Vikings
- 2024 pick swap, 6th #188 from Vikings
- 2024 6th #189 from Buffalo
- 2025 5th from Buffalo
- 2025 3rd rd comp pick if Diggs leaves in 2025.
They can't get a compensatory pick for Diggs if he's signed elsewhere in '25 because they voided his final 3 years.
@@BossRoller (Even though those players had void years in their contracts, they'll still be eligible for the comp pick formula)
Great take You guys,Enjoyed watching this about Diggs,Very interesting to see how this plays out in Houston
I think that’s why Houston restructured his contract..now he is playing to get paid next year..has to be on his best behavior
Texans smart .. taking one year rental .. first year is always good
Texans have made a lot of moves, but didn't mortgage the future to do it. I'm kind of meh on Diggs, but I'm expecting the Texans to be competing for a Super Bowl moving forward because of CJ Stroud. He's not a flash in the pan.
There is no more upside to Josh Allen. We have seen what McDermott can do which is always lose the close games. It's a win-win for Diggs, he gets a big pay bump not paying state income tax, he gets with a young QB that has so much potential. Houston is going to give that division fits. Everybody thought Houston was stupid for letting Watson go, but damn they look like a genius now. The Chief's really have some strong competition this up and coming season. Don't leave out those Packers, Bengals and maybe Philly.
So you believe that Stroud is better then Allen?
Stroud is on a rookie deal meaning the Texans can spend big on building the roster. It gives them a leg up on contending while many of their best players are on cheap contracts.
Few things...
One- Stroud isn't a normal rookie QB. He won that locker room over well before the season began including the veterans. That whole team knew he was something special.
Two- Ryans has built in just one season a culture that the whole league has noticed. He and the GM are really working well together on building and developing this team.
Three- Case Keenum... Case has played with Diggs in both Minn and Buff. I'm sure the Texans leadership has asked him about how Diggs is in the locker room.
Four- Diggs and Josh were BESTIES for two seasons with no issues. Diggs will come in initially on his best behavior.
Five- The deal.... The Texas will take a cap hit for the first year but not really after that. If Diggs does go "Super Diva" then cut him and move on.
I don't think Ryans or Stroud will get intimidated by Diggs' antics. I think this was one of those old Patriot moves of bringing a noted Free Agent and either use or cut him based on if they embrace what they do. GM Nick is from New England.
I think at least for the first year, Diggs will perform well because he would want to show how much he can do without Josh while hoping that Josh struggles without a real WR.
Josh Allen isn’t gonna struggle without Diggs trust me last season when they went on a tear Diggs and Davis were really non factors and Allen still got it done. People don’t realize just how good he really is with his arm and his legs. Not taking anything away from Diggs because he is good but this diva shit needs to stop and I know that Ryan won’t put up with it. Diggs is just lucky that he went to a team that has an extremely talented QB on the rise and is just as good as Allen and Jackson and Mahomes. He’s not at there level yet but he’s pretty damn good.
@@leo29hornsfan I agree with you. I never claimed that Josh Allen was going to struggle without Diggs. He has been on of my favorite QBs since he entered the league. I'm sure Diggs is HOPING he does now that he is gone.
I was rooting for the Bills during the playoffs last year because I really freakin hate KC.
However, I do think the Bills have left Allen with very limited options to throw too.
The Houston GM has done great job over this off season bringing players for this window while Stroud' is on his rookie contract.
The older player, higher contracts expires before Stroud's rookie contract ends.
@@lambowolffinally some1 that knows what they're talking about. I realize the Texans weren't on national TV last year but ppl do a little research. I think he'll ball out next year. Change of scenery I very underrated
I trust CJ to do what is best for the team on every snap 💯
"The Autonomous Zone" LOL
Update: the Texans voided his last three years. This is a one year rental/prove it deal. The Texans have NOTHING to lose and everything to gain here.
They lost a second round pick for a one year rental.
@@seth101-hv4st so what? We have another next year. To take a chance to win it all? Easy trade off.
Yeah, there is a pattern here with DIggs, he helped the Vikings reach the NFCCG, then helped the bills get to the AFCCG. The vikings never got close after diggs left, the same will happen to the Bills. The bills were a fringe playoff team and Josh Allen was .500 before diggs arrived, he turned them into contenders instantly.
If Josh Allen can manage to connect on a pass to Gabe Davis this season, then he is officially a superhuman and should start his own Justice League.
Gabe Davis is not in Buffalo anymore.
@@oboy9090right, he signed with the jags
@@oboy9090 you guys missed the joke :)
@@draahpsquad3592 I got it. It still made no sense and wasn't funny.
It's a low risk move for Houston..they already got playmakers...Ryan's won't put up with his BS though.
Exactly!? These ppl commenting have no idea what Houstons locker room is like now. They'll cut him so fast if he acts up. These comments are a joke. They'll see
i understand how some WR's can be, but i am going to rely on Demeco Ryans coaching style and how it differs from those coaches that Diggs has had in he past. Either way, he is now a free agent after this season with his contract being re-structured.
Just like Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Antonio Brown he is going down the same path. But but the difference is all those guys were Hall of Famers and very productive, for Diggs this is his last stop before he is out the league.
Cheetah club in Atlanta was pretty good in 1996! They have a room where dancers take a shower together! 🔥🔥🔥🤤🤤🤤🤤
Cheetah is a good spot on Sundays for brunch
CHKN WINGS RIGHT😂
Diggs added a lot of value to that offense. He drew double coverage and helped others get open. Defensive coordinators had to plan around him. Allen is going to suffer from this!
Agreed
Can't predict the future. I think it be a relief on both sides
Yup. It's not just about making plays. Other teams literally based their game plan on stopping Diggs and Allen running the ball
@scottcordaro-fn1uw Allen messed up by not letting that mf know that he was the qb and was not going to listen to his crap. It was clear that Diggs had no respect for him and felt like he could come at him disrespectfully on the sidelines. Allen is probably VERY HAPPY he is gone. Maybe he will be more respectful in Houston because it's a black coach and qb but I wouldn't chance it with a guy like that.
Why don't the mainstream media sports stations actually cover sports all i here is tabloid talk not football .
To be fair, the issue really started when the Bills came out flat and played like crap vs the Bengals in that playoff game. Diggs was getting heated because Josh and the Bills were seemingly laying down for the Bengals.
At least he's now closer to his brother in Dallas.
A win win..
Guys, Diggs won’t be an issue. Houston brings out the best in players. Especially this staff
Jason...the youtube algorythm block is real..had you suscribed and showing up every day...now i have to hunt....
I’m from Minnesota and we are very familiar with Stefon Diggs personality here. He’s a very, very intense personality.
The issue with Josh Allen is he turns the ball over.
Josh led the league in touchdowns produced the last four years. Take a pill and call your doctor.
Diggs will see Sneed twice a year in Tennessee with arguably the best defensive back squad in the league.
Sneed won't get by with all that holding like he did in KC, watch.
Who cares. Then they'll have a serious problem with Tank Dell and Nicole Collins. You obviously haven't watched the Texans lately year. They are absolutely loaded on offense and didn't need to make this move. It's low risk really high reward and he's on a 1 year deal bow trying to get his last big contract.
@@nathanholman1475 We'll see
Adding Diggs just gives the Texans more depth in case of injury.
Steve the first person to ever say "he's that girl" and it make perfect sense......
Diggs back to them Minnesota numbers
"NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!"
This is the "thanks" the Bills and Brandon Beane get for giving Diggs a "fresh new start" to his career. This is the thanks McDermott gets for being a caring "player's coach." And this is the thanks Josh Allen gets for coddling Diggs' ego, putting up with his NEVER-ENDING crap, suffering in silence while Diggs constantly trashed him (directly via histrionics, microaggressions, and cryptic social media nonsense ... as well as gutlessly indirectly via his brother). In fact, through it all, Josh Allen not only NEVER responded in kind or trashed Diggs back, but he actually KEPT PUBLICLY PRAISING Diggs. I SO WISH the Bills could somehow win the Super Bowl this season -- and defeat the Texans in the playoffs en route. Then watch Diggs explode.
Josh Allen never claimed to be a "perfect" QB, and is always his own harshest critic (a rarity these days). Diggs, on the other hand, does nothing but point fingers at everyone else and their supposed "failures" ... yet NEVER sees (let alone "owns") his own. That speaks volumes -- all anyone needs to know.
Whitlock is hilarious for this take. Like him or hate him, he is good at this.
No he's not.
@@EnterpriseNCC-1701then why are you here?
@@magicsam8247some is grumpy and needs a cookie & a hug. It’s ok young blood, it gets better
Strip clubs always a plus..lol..but that no state income tax is even more attractive...and their housing prices are good as well!! Plus it's cold as hell in Buffalo!!
Every state has Strip clubs
Don’t forget about them clubs in Tampa Bay haha
Hope he does not take Stroud down. CJ was seeing with celebs this off-season
I see a lot of similarity with CJ Stroud's rookie season to Baker Mayfield. Baker threw more TD's but CJ had way less int's but they are pretty close on most other metrics. Remember all the hype around the Browns when OBJ came in but the hype never quite translated into chemistry on the field. You dont get dumped by two different teams even with pro bowl stats unless you are the problem and not the solution. Nick Caserio has worked it well to restructure Diggs to a one year deal and make him a free agent after that. He has in essence incentivised Diggs to play for his next contract and given himself an escape hatch if he starts any bs behind the scenes.
Diggs ego is outta control,he really thinks he’s that dude nah he just aight.
🔥
I think Josh Allen is gonna take a step back this year. Stefon diggs might not be a top 3 wide receiver but he’s borderline top 5 losing him is a huge loss.
i agree. the bills weren't even that good last year. i predict jets (rodgers coming back) or dolphins take that division now.
@@drinkingpoolwaterdelusional
Not happening
@@chetjablonski1993 I think it’s possible Miami is gonna Win atleast 10-12 games & if Aaron Rodgers looks like how he did two years ago I think the jets could win around 10 games. The bills losing diggs got rid of a guy that other coaches needed to gameplan against. Those other guys on the bills besides Josh Allen are replaceable. And not even mentioning Josh Allen is a high turnover guy him losing his best weapon is gonna make him force things even more so we will see how he looks.
Ryans, ain't having that.
Im excited to see diggs with nico and tank i havnt been this excited in years
Jason you rattled off those cities a little too easy bruh...
He said he use to go a lot
Steve needs a show on blaze. Him and Marcellus Wiley on a show together would be 🔥
Good take..
Nico aint getting supplanted by. Dell or Diggs. He's a rare wideout
Why does he always degrade black athletes by referring their interest to strip clogs.
Honestly if you dont like what he has to say dont watch. Its that simple.
He ain’t that guy anymore
He really never was that guy. He was very good. Never great …
@@RALPHCASALEhe never was that guy? 😂..yall be talking just to talk. 6 1,000 plus yard seasons in a row but he not that guy?
@@Kenpo92Never and I mean never was he a top 3 receiver in the NFL. What does you people mean ? I think I know…
Y’all
6 1000yd seasons? That all?
As a Bills fan, good riddance. Diggs was a cancer in the locker room in Minnesota and traded their problem to the Bills. Diggs became a problem in the last two seasons and the Bills were worn out by the drama queen. Good riddance.
I'm a Bills fan too. Diggs get yo shit & get the F out...
You ain't kidding Houston is right there.
Diggs didn't look happy at all intro to Houston
They are going to have film on C.J. this year. Elite D.c.s. already have last year's film on him. He'll be exposed this year😅😊😮
Houston will also have a better roster on both sides of the ball. Stroud will not have to carry the team by himself.
Just the fact Buffalo took a 32 million cap hit to unload Diggs tells you all you need to know. The fact that they got nothing this year and a 2nd (if Houston does well, it's like a high 50s pick) next year is further proof.
OTOH, this could be a big year for Houston.
He better act right, we aren’t putting up with mediocre play or a bad attitude
Houston we have a problem ! Stroud is going to have the shit 2nd yr. and you put THIS guy with this kid NO NO NO ....... write it down
Yep. Teams have enough tape on him now.
CJ and the Texans will also have tape on how other teams play against them. Only the best teams will be able to game plan properly to account for the talent the Texans have on offense and defense.
I trust CJ to do what is best for the team on every snap 💯
When you sign top free agents, you have to expect swagger and drama that comes with the territory. If you don't have the right leadership from your coach and quarterback, then you can expect to fail. The top quarterbacks and wide receivers in this league are black, so when you have a white quarterback, there is miscommunication. Diggs dealt with two white QBs. CJ is not just black but he's special. He has total control of that locker room and he's only beginning his 2nd year in the NFL. Diggs will not only follow in CJ's footsteps, but he has no other choice, thanks to Nick. If Diggs wants a big contract in free agency, he needs to perform on the field in 2024 without the drama. This is a win-win as the Texans did Diggs a solid paying out his guaranteed bonus for 2025 in 2024. Diggs can be the decoy drawing out CB1 and allowing Nico 150+ yards and allowing Tank 100+ yards.
If your new girlfriend hates both her ex-boyfriends. You're next.
Texans’ fan here. Diggs is basically on a one year contract and I think DeMeco will be able to handle him. I have an idea Diggs and DeMeco are gonna have a little confab. I’ll just leave it at cautiously optimistic.
Stripclubs in Canada is better then any in US.
Everyone was walking on eggshells for him IT GOT OLD
I always thought diggs was and is overrated.
Y’all got Demeco Ryans fucked up.
Gabe davis is a jaguar now
They were so tired of him they set a record for dead cap money. I knew he was a problem when Minnesota was winning a playoff game and he was still on the sideline arguing about not getting the ball. And then he was celebrating in a game where they were getting blown out. When I saw those things that was it.
1:02 Gabe Davis is on the Jaguars
Josh Allen’s interception total is about to drop by 50%
Portland Oregon is finally getting props 😂
Diggs is a spoiled toddler, throwing tantrums
Im so sick of these players just playing for themselves and their stats. Bad sportsmanship, bad roll models.
Agree, Money and power Influence goes along way
Cj is good but still young in the NFL. Diggs is gunna get frustrated with him the second he doesn't get his way.
Ok
Houston really don't need him, that's why he is basically there for a year
And hell, last thing. Put tank and Collins on bills squad last year and how does that look?
The Bills never should have wasted that money on Von Miller. His decline was dramatic. Denver was SO done with him that they THREW him at the Rams, even paying his salary for the rest of the year. Did you hear that? They PAID him to go win a TITLE with another team. Miller had a resurgence in that second half of the year, Aaron Donald drawing all that GRAVITY will do that, making other lesser and declining players seem like they're prime rib when really they're just hotdogs. That year really was the Bills best chance and they should spent their money WISELY.
Motivated by being in a city with great "strip clubs?" If that's true Stefon Diggs needs to grow up.
McNabb started that drama with T.O. He was jealous that T.O. was getting all the love
That's why the texan voided the remaining 3 years of his contract. So basically it's a miss or hit for stefon. If he hits and behave himself, he probably get a contract extension if not it's bye bye stefon. Plus cj the type of qb you spreads the ball.
Portland has underrated when it comes to strip clubs.
CJ Stroud is an Alpha who will stand up to Stefon Diggs shut that foolishness down.
He doesn't need to be the number 1 on that team. If he's on the field, they will have to account for him. I say Houston is better with him
Easier conference and better weather Diggs is about to shine.
