Mr. WEO

Rosenhaus made it clear early that his client wouldn't go to Buffalo. So there was no meaningful deal in place. Plus, half the nuttier posters here were claiming Poyer (of all people!) put the kibosh on it as well because of his wife.

yeah there was no deal because the client never wanted to come to Buffalo. His own agent confirmed this.

Jefferson wawas ranked 5th-8th prospect prior to the draft. He was the 5th WR picked. At worst, Bills could have had Aiyuk (whos career trajectory is heading in the opposite direction of a burnt out Diggs) cheap. Rosen's "blunder" didn't impact the Eagles fortunes as they went from 4-11 in 2020 to 14-3 and the SB 2 years later. With Diggs, the Bills went to the playoffs 4 times, bad losses and early exits all. Serious about winning was he? why did he disappear in the last game of the season (playoffs) each year?

What was the deal in place?

Super Bowl in Dublin, baby

That's a big home gym for a guy with one functioning lung

This bad ending was the most predictable thing about Diggs. He became a dink and dunker. His YAC would never again go over 4 and his YBC went as low as 7.3. Took a billion targets to get over 1100 yards. Hardly the King of Separation.

Well....Bills traded for Diggs--and held onto him until they inevitably got tired of his predictable behavioral BS.

Post See new posts Conversation Matt Miller @nfldraftscout #Bills weren't getting a WR of the caliber of Stefon Diggs at 22 overall. Vikings now have 22 and 25 overall to address needs. lol--remember this?. take a seat, "Matt Miller" Benjamin Allbright @AllbrightNFL Bills had scouted some WRs for an early pick, came away less than thrilled. Getting Diggs is plug and play. No learning curve like with rookie WR. Bill's feel they're in window with Allen on rookie deal. can you imagine Jefferson as a Bill since rookie? Bills scouts and WR prospects are a bad mix...

how long before he puts that shoe collection on ebay?

they charge what people will pay. I agree--it's crazy how much they charge (should be a flat fee--not a %) for the very simple service they provide.

meaningless

Breaking news: byline Joe Marino: "Bills need to get to Mahomes"

He's in last year of contract. No one is going to trade for him--he is entering his 14th season and he missed a lot of games injured and got 16 million. He is at the very top of his market.

What's a 35 yo Heyward's market?

Absent a blocked punt (usually not on the P), Punter would struggle to lose a game

that's how they make their money.....

Browning is undrafted. It really doesn't matter for good teams. This is why they bounce around the league so much. Only 11 have been drafted in the past 5 seasons. The last Punter the Bills drafted is wearing his orange jump suit in KC--it's the official away uniform of that team. Should fit right in, no?

you seem to be conflating Ticketmaster which sells primary and secondary market tickets with StubHub, which is essentially a secondary resale business

how/why would they have it in a stadium

Beane will probably re-sign Playoff Lenny, or Ski-Doo Hines….and McD will never play them. you know, the usual…..

140 million a dozen. Why? He’s easily the best WR in the league and by far the best player on his team. Why shouldn’t that result in a huge contract? The NFL never loses…

Other than these leagues have folded within a few years or less every time they have existed? Is that a real question? Anyway, it should be obvious that reruns of owned content would be far cheaper to fill a broadcast schedule than a live football broadcast. A live football game is probably one of the most expensive things these networks could broadcast on weekend afternoons. This is intuitively true

First Bojo, now Haack....man, Bass really needs some special kind of holder, amirite?! Drafted Punters are even cheaper. The Bills twice drafted a Punter in 35 years. No Bills drafted Punter has punted for the Bills since the one who made the team in 1990...

Buffalo has exactly the number of hotel rooms it needs (more, actually).
