In a stunning development, the Dallas Cowboys have emerged as the frontrunners to land Houston Texans superstar WR Stefon Diggs, potentially creating one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFL.

However, negotiations have hit a major hurdle due to what insiders are calling Diggs’ “absurd” contract demands, which could make this blockbuster move one of the most expensive wide receiver trades in history.

Stefon Diggs’ Eye-Popping Asking Price

According to sources close to the situation, Diggs is demanding:

• A 4-year, $140 million extension ($35M per year)

• At least $100 million guaranteed

• A no-trade clause, ensuring he has control over his future

• A say in offensive play-calling, an unprecedented request for a wide receiver

These demands have reportedly stunned Dallas’ front office, with some calling them unrealistic given the team’s current salary cap challenges.

“We all know Diggs is an elite receiver, but $35 million per year is quarterback money. This could be a deal-breaker,” one NFL executive stated.

Why Do the Cowboys Want Diggs?

Despite the financial concerns, Dallas is seriously considering making a move for Diggs due to their need for another elite playmaker alongside CeeDee Lamb.

With Dak Prescott entering a critical season, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to give him the best weapons possible. Diggs, who is still one of the most dominant WRs in the league, would instantly elevate Dallas’ offense to Super Bowl contender status.

Reasons Dallas is pushing for Diggs:

 Proven chemistry with star quarterbacks (Josh Allen, C.J. Stroud)

 Elite route-running and deep-threat ability

 Would force defenses to pick their poison between him and Lamb

 Gives the Cowboys a real shot at winning now

“Adding Diggs could be the missing piece for Dallas to finally get over the playoff hump,” said one NFL analyst.

What About Houston? Will They Let Diggs Go?

The Houston Texans, who acquired Diggs from Buffalo earlier this offseason, aren’t desperate to trade him, but they are reportedly listening to offers.

Texans GM Nick Caserio has made it clear that they won’t let Diggs go cheaply, with the asking price reportedly being:

 A 1st-round pick

 A 3rd-round pick

 A young impact player on defense

The Cowboys have the draft capital, but would they be willing to meet such a steep price on top of Diggs’ massive contract demands? That remains the biggest question.

Fan Reactions: Is Diggs Worth It?

NFL fans have been divided over the potential trade:

• “If we get Diggs, the Cowboys’ offense is unstoppable!”

• “We’re already tight on cap space. Where is the money coming from?”

• “Diggs and CeeDee together? Dak has no excuses!”

• “If Diggs wants $140M, he better play cornerback too!”

What’s Next?

With Dallas leading the race, expect intense negotiations between the Cowboys and Texans in the coming days.

Will Jerry Jones pull the trigger and bring Stefon Diggs to Dallas, or will the price prove too steep?

Stay tuned—this blockbuster deal is far from over.
