Does Stefon Diggs Deal Make Trade Targets Available For Baltimore Ravens?
The Buffalo Bills traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans for a song. That could open up a couple of potential trade targets for the Baltimore Ravens.
The Houston Texans pulled off one of the more memorable trades this offseason when they acquired former Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills wideout Stefon Diggs for a pair of draft picks.
That could open the door for Texans general manager Nick Caserio to make one of his receivers available for trade - and maybe the Baltimore Ravens will come calling.

Diggs now joins a receiver room that was already crowded, but his arrival now moves everyone down the depth chart one notch.
Diggs will join Tank Dell, Nico Collins and Noah Brown as the top four options, and Caserio could be compelled to trade either former second-round pick John Metchie or journeyman Robert Woods.
Woods will be entering his 12th season in the league and the Ravens would be his fifth team. He's been a workhorse over his career, appearing in 156 games over those 11 seasons and catching 663 passes for 8,030 yards with 38 touchdowns. The former USC Trojan has also carried the ball 75 times for 513 yards and another five scores, although his ball carrier days are most likely behind him.
Metchie entered the league as a second-round pick of the Texans in 2022, and missed all of his rookie season while undergoing treatment for leukemia. By the time he got back to the field in 2023, he'd fallen behind Collins and Dell on the depth chart and caught just 16 passes for 158 yards.
Caserio could be interested in moving one or of these players and the Ravens would do well to either go after Metchie, who could be a long-term fit here, or Woods, who, as a seasoned veteran, could help groom the younger players.
