The first Sunday without football is behind us, which makes it feel like the offseason. The Houston Texans have already been at work, making changes to their coaching staff following a disappointing end to the 2024 campaign.
Next, they'll turn their attention to the roster. The NFL Draft will get a lot of publicity since the Scouting Combine kicks off at the end of February. However, free agency will come first and the Texans need to decide on Stefon Diggs.
He's set for free agency after playing just eight games. Our first story in today's huddle concerns Diggs as Andre Johnson gives his take on the wideout's future.

“You always want to see a great player come back,” Johnson said (via Chancellor Johnson). “I think he loves the city and loves the organization from the feedback I’ve gotten from him.”
Diggs only played eight games in 2024 before suffering a torn ACL. He sounded like someone who wanted to return when discussing his future following the season and Andre Johnson seems to get the same impression. The only question is whether or not the two sides wil agree on a contract that works for everyone involved.

"The three-time AP Coach of the Year is still regarded as being one of the best talent evaluators in league history. He knows a great player when he sees one, which is exactly what Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. and defensive end Danielle Hunter are after a breakout 2024 season."
Bill Belichick has forgotten more about football than most of us will learn in a lifetime. That's why his opinion matters — and why Texans fans should be happy to see he named Danielle Hunter and Derek Stingley, Jr. to his 'All-Belichick' Team.
