Not anymore.
The Texans have eliminated 2025, 2026 and 2027 from his contract.
Diggs will now be a free agent next off season.
I knew that Diggs wasn't going to play under his old contract.

Added incentive for Stefon Diggs:
As part of the Buffalo-Houston trade, the Texans wiped out the final three years on Diggs’ contract, giving him the ability to become a free agent after this season, league sources tell ESPN.
The Texans also took the $3.5 million guaranteed to Diggs next season and moved up into this season, giving him a raise and assuring him of $22.52 million in guaranteed money in 2024.
But if Diggs plays the way he wants, and Houston hopes, he will hit the free-agent market next offseason with the ability to make it count.
Houston now anticipates getting the best version of Stefon Diggs this season

Also significant: Because this will be Texans WR Stefon Diggs' 10th NFL season, the most Houston can get in a comp pick if he leaves after this year would be a fifth-round pick.
So cutting years off the deal is a big concession.
