Entering the offseason, Diggs is the fourth-ranked receiver option entering free agency, trailing Cincinnati’s Tee Higgins (No. 1), Tampa Bay’s Chris Godwin (No. 5) and Buffalo’s Amari Cooper (No. 18). All three are expected to sign multi-year deal while Diggs could ink a one-year prove-it contract to cash one last time in 2026.

Here is what Houston #Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs’ next contract could potentially be worth if he becomes a free agent.

General manager Nick Caserio and coach DeMeco Ryans will decide if team will pursue Stefon Diggs in free agency but players want the WR back.

New England has several young options for former No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye entering 2025, but none have the experience Diggs provides. Before suffering a torn ACL in Week 8, the 31-year-old was well on his way to securing a seventh-straight 1,000-yard campaign while totaling over 100 catches.

However, general manager Nick Caserio must address critical roster decisions to keep the Texans on their upward trajectory. Injuries can only serve as an excuse for so long. The element of surprise that defined Houston’s 2023 campaign is no longer a factor.
