Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio broke down the reason behind trading for Stefon Diggs this offseason.
The Houston Texans improved immensely over the course of the offseason. They made one thing clear — they’re ready to contend for a Super Bowl. This was always the likely path for Texans general manager Nick Caserio after first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans and rookie quarterback CJ Stroud led the team to a 10-7 record and playoff victory last season.
Instead of letting last season be a fun Cinderella story, Caserio and the Texans are acting on Stroud’s emergence as a star in the league. Competing while he is on his rookie-scale contract makes the most sense, so Houston traded for star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to add to the Texans’ star-studded position group.
In an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Caserio explained that the team did look into Diggs’ perceived issues as a teammate and in the media over the past few years.
