Texans Head Coach Calls Stefon Diggs Locker Room Chaos Starter, Sends Scathing Five-Word Message to Bills GM

Houston, TX – April 4, 2025

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans dropped a grenade at the NFL Annual Meeting, blaming wide receiver Stefon Diggs—traded from the Buffalo Bills in 2024—for igniting locker room strife during his lone season in Texas. “Stefon was the root of every clash in there,” Ryans seethed to reporters Thursday, per ESPN, before texting Bills GM Brandon Beane a blistering five-word jab: “You’re a filthy scammer.” Ryans’ fury traces back to the Bills’ trade of Diggs—carrying a $5.8 million cap hit—for a 2025 second-round pick (Spotrac), a deal he now slams as a sly dump of a “disruptive force.” Diggs, fresh off that Texans stint, inked a 3-year, $69 million pact with the Patriots, leaving Ryans to stew.

Diggs’ stats paint a stark tale of two tenures. In Houston 2024, he managed 47 catches, 496 yards, and 3 touchdowns in 8 games before an ACL tear sidelined him, averaging a modest 10.6 yards per catch (NFL.com). Contrast that with his Bills glory days (2020-2023): 445 receptions, 5,372 yards, and 37 TDs across 66 games, peaking with a league-leading 127 catches, 1,535 yards, and 8 TDs in 2020 (Web ID: 0). His Bills average—12.1 yards per catch—dwarfs his Texans mark, and his 6.7 catches per game there trounces the 5.9 in Houston. Over 10 seasons, Diggs has racked up 11,406 yards and 80 TDs, but his 2024 dip—coupled with sideline spats echoing his Buffalo exit—fueled Ryans’ rant. “Talent’s there, but the drama’s louder,” a Texans insider quipped.

Bills Mafia reveled in the fallout on X: “Ryans crying? Beane’s a mastermind!” Buffalo shed Diggs’ $22.5 million cap hit, snagging picks that propped a 14th-ranked passing game (226.4 yards/game, ESPN), now leaning on Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman (Web ID: 0). Houston’s locker room woes—pinned on Diggs—spurred Ryans to cut bait, but his “scammer” barb at Beane has Bills fans gloating and Patriots brass smirking (Web ID: 0). As Diggs preps for Foxborough, this AFC saga proves Beane’s trade might’ve been the ultimate dodge—or a chaos gift that keeps on giving.
