Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud lobbied for the team to retain wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who is heading to free agency this offseason.
Stroud told reporters Monday he'd "love" to have Diggs back in Houston, adding that he and the four-time Pro Bowler "were just getting started" and "starting to build a rapport" on the field.
Running back Joe Mixon echoed the sentiment and said the veteran wideout may have "unfinished business" on the team.
The Texans acquired Diggs to much fanfare. He had had four straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons and was joining a receiving corps that already included Nico Collins and Tank Dell.
