Chad Johnson has been outspoken about his views on the Texans, particularly following their acquisition of Buffalo Bills’ standout wide receiver Stefon Diggs. This move has sparked significant attention towards the team, especially considering it bolsters the arsenal of young quarterback C.J. Stroud. On a recent episode of “Nightcap,” former NFL stars Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharpe engaged in a spirited debate regarding the trade, showcasing differing opinions on the matter.
Johnson disagreed, saying the Texans were fortunate to make the playoffs the previous season and called them a “ready-made team.” Sharpe agreed.
Johnson went on to say that fans should observe how Josh Allen’s stats suffer in Buffalo without Diggs and that the Chiefs of Kansas City, not the Texans or Bills, would be viewed as a ready-made club.
Chad Johnson has expressed his unreserved opinions about the Houston Texans, particularly in light of their recent significant move in acquiring Buffalo Bills star wide receiver, Stefon Diggs. This transaction has thrust the Texans into the spotlight, especially as it provides young quarterback C.J. Stroud with yet another formidable weapon.
During a recent episode of “Nightcap,” former NFL legends Chad Johnson and Shannon Sharpe engaged in a spirited discussion, highlighting a major disagreement regarding the trade. Sharpe characterized the Texans as a “ready-made team,” a sentiment Johnson strongly contested by suggesting that their playoff appearance last year was more luck than readiness.
Johnson further argued that the Texans and Bills aren’t “ready-made” teams, contrasting them with the Kansas City Chiefs. The term “ready-made” in this context suggests a situation where a star receiver can seamlessly integrate, excel, and contribute towards championship contention.

With Diggs now joining an already impressive array of young talent in the Texans’ wide receiver room, including Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and John Metchie III, and leaving behind a Bills team lacking significant talent at the WR position after losing Gabe Davis in free agency, the dynamics of both teams have shifted.
While debates between Johnson and Sharpe are known for their fervor, it’s challenging to agree with Johnson’s stance. The Texans possess the potential to emerge as a force in the AFC, boasting a promising young head coach, a talented quarterback, solid protection on the offensive line, and burgeoning defensive talent.
