It\u2019s a huge blow for C.J. Stroud\u2019s passing game even though Diggs was easily the No. 2 receiver, he was still a viable threat behind\u00a0Nico Collins. It\u2019s hard to imagine that Diggs returns to Houston on a new contract since this was his year to prove he could earn a deal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Originally selected in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Maryland product was shaping himself as a legitimate superstar wideout, proving to be a reliable pass catcher alongside Adam Thielen with the Vikings which includes the\u00a0Minnesota Miracle. However, the Vikings sent him to Buffalo where he spent the next three seasons with the Bills and nearly leading them to the Super Bowl, recording 1,535 receiving yards on 127 receptions. The Texans took a chance on the veteran to provide some relief in Stroud\u2019s passing attack to help build him a championship roster to hopefully make it further in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Things didn\u2019t work out in Houston for Diggs. The wide receiver will become a free agent this upcoming offseason, so the chances of the Texans signing him again are slim. Diggs will probably have to play for a new team again on a one-year deal to prove he can play a full regular season before a roster can handtoss him a long-term extension. Championship-caliber teams like the Ravens, Chiefs could bring out the best in him before he eventually retires.<\/p>\n<h2>Four-Time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs Injury Ends Disastrous Stint \u2013 Ravens, Chiefs Next Teams?<\/h2>\n<h3>Hometown Return<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-24\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_1\" align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x250\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,22512265771\/lwos_incontent_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A return for Diggs where he started his collegiate career may be what needs to end his NFL journey. The Ravens possess one of the best wide-receiving groups after\u00a0trading for Diontae Johnson\u00a0even though they have\u00a0Zay Flowers\u00a0and\u00a0Rashod Bateman\u00a0as their top two weapons. While they have improved the ground game with Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson has all the weapons in the world to make a Super Bowl appearance. However, they could be open to the idea of signing someone like Diggs if he becomes available this offseason, especially if they fail to dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC championship game again.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\"><\/div>\n<p>Diggs may not be a superstar receiver anymore but he could still be an impactful wideout for the Ravens. He probably won\u2019t be the weapon he wants to be in Houston since they\u2019re still building a foundation for a championship run. The same foundation is already there in Baltimore so it shouldn\u2019t be surprising if lands with the Ravens. Johnson is just on a one-year deal so there\u2019s word yet if the team plans to keep him beyond after this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Kansas City Loading Up<\/h3>\n<p>The Chiefs are probably one of the most controversial 8-0 teams being that they haven\u2019t proven they\u2019ll be a threat this postseason. However, they find a way to win even though they keep each\u00a0matchup close\u00a0by at least seven points so this will be something to watch. The team took a chance on\u00a0DeAndre Hopkins\u00a0and it has been working out fairly well despite the size and agility that is different from other wideouts like rookie Xavier Worthy. Marquise Brown and\u00a0Rashee Rice\u00a0will return in 2025 but Hopkins will be a free agent again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no word if he will return but there\u2019s a chance he could land elsewhere next season. However, Stefon Diggs could be a viable upgrade from JuJu Smith-Schuster. He doesn\u2019t need to be a full-time player but one to make a couple of catches to move the chains. With Brown and Rice returning and if they fail to three-peat, they could make a big splash and sign Diggs on a short-term deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a disastrous first-year stint with the Texans, veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs could find a new NFL home in 2025.
