It's a valid point that Beane, McDermott, and Joe Brady may have looked at that 7-1 win streak under Brady as OC and said "we can do without 627 yds and 3 TDs contribution".
Boom goes the dynamite.

Or for you @Kirby Jackson is it Harrison or take your chances at #28 / smaller non future 1st trade up into early 20s?
I know you asked @Kirby Jackson, but for me it's MJH or stay put and do some finagling to double dip on WRs.

only Josh is irreplaceable
the bills can win with or without diggs.
The Bills won 6 in a row without Diggs -- at least without him in a WR1 role.

If he thinks Shakir, Kincaid, and Samuel can replace Diggs as he was implying he is insane
He implied nothing of the sort. He repeatedly said, “it’s not September.”

It is clear Diggs wanted out. Beane had no leverage and probably did the best he could.
I don't think either of things are necessarily true, but certainly not the 2nd. You don't get a team's 2nd round draft pick for nothing.

Beane just confirmed Josh knew beforehand -- as expected.

End of the day Beane should have traded him before giving that crazy extension
Are the just taking the cap hit this year and next season start over clean?
That "crazy" extension was how long ago? At the time it made sense given his production.
Yes, the Bills will eat the dead cap from Diggs' bonus this year and be completely free of it in '25. In the meantime, they can pay a rookie WR peanuts.

The terms of the trade, which seem quite bad for the Bills
This is an uninformed take. Diggs' contract is HUGE. He's 31 and anyone can see how his performance has diminished. The Bills didn't have to give up anything significant in the '24 draft to make this happen and get them out from under that contract in a year, plus they got an additional piece of draft capital to go and get their guy this year if they want to (and pay him a rookie contract).
I think the trade is a win for the Bills and a "to be determined" for the Texans -- but I understand why Caserio did it.

Man it sucks not being able to get a thing for 2024. Wont notice the extra cap space until 2025 and wont get any picks until 2025. I hope we trade for Tee Higgins. Offer him a contract that goes into effect 2025. And still just a WR
What we are getting in 2024 is probably a top 5 pick after we trade this and next year's firsts plus one of next year's seconds.
The trade provided that additional capital needed to move up now.

Anybody else remember how Diggs dropped a perfect bomb from Allen in the 4th quarter against KC, and then on the most crucial play of the game Allen ignored his #1 receiver who was open underneath to try and get the ball to Shakir?
Yeah...all was not peaches and cream between Josh and Diggs...
Onward and upward!

So I would never say never but we all know there's pretty much no chance Stef is traded , unless it's an offer Beane just can't refuse, but what I find interesting here are the odds on where Diggs starts in 2024 and as a gambler I'm likely going to put my $ where my mouth is because these odds are great and it's easy easy $.
From article - When DraftKings Sportsbook first released odds on Stefon Diggs’ next team in February, the Buffalo Bills were big favorites (-300) to retain the four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver while the Houston Texans were 10-to-1 to land to get him (or +1000).
For non gamblers you'd need to spend 300 to win 100 on Diggs staying in Buf and spend 10$ to win 100 if he landed in Hou..
Back to article -
There’s been a shift in those odds over the last month with Houston jumping up the board, though the odds are still projecting a return to Buffalo. By March 18, DraftKings’ new odds had Buffalo as the favorite (-230) and Houston up to +550 - again as the third-favorite - behind the Dallas Cowboys (+400).
With the Cowboys being stagnant in free agency, they’ve dropped to +850 to land Diggs while Houston’s price has been bumped to +350 in the latest market shift. Those odds carry an implied probability of 22.22% that Houston would make a giant splash by giving quarterback C.J. Stroud an elite outside weapon next season.
So now, big difference , you can now spend only 230 to win 100 for Diggs staying in Buff and Hou dropped all the way to +350, 👀👀 meaning instead of winning 100$ on a 10$ bet , now , a 10$ bet will only win you 35$ if Diggs landed on Houston. That's a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE
Just caught my eye and very interesting to see the numbers move that significantly, especially towards Hou . I know what I'm doing, I'm 100% putting 1150$ to win an easy 500$ on Diggs starting the season as a Buffalo Bill. Maybe much more.
Just wanted to give my gamblers an easyyyy money maker that is Bills related!🤑

Anyone who doesn't believe they at least vetted this idea with Josh first is kidding himself...
Beane has a plan and keeping his golden boy happy is a big part of that.

Kudos to BBB for making a move that will have some blasting him but makes sense for the Bills, even THIS season...we have a real GM, folks.

Outcry over Bills' personal seat license rollout misguided ??
Only 1.6% of season-ticket account holders (all of whom have premium club-seat locations at the current stadium) have been invited to the Stadium Experience in Amherst
Among the people who have been invited, 96% have visited the Stadium Experience or scheduled a visit, and 75% of the account holders who have visited have signed PSL agreements for club seats.
As soon as this summer, season-ticket holders who currently have lower-bowl seats around midfield will be contacted. The PSL process will continue through the summer of 2026
Thank you. I was just about to post the link to this article as well. As usual, some b.s. gets out on social media and becomes labeled as "truth" when it isn't even close to being accurate.

Regardless how much it's attempted. It's a cool element to the game for coaches to have in their tool box. A 45% success rate is pretty good.
Doesn’t move the needle for me, but to each his own. -

A quick Google search came up with this:
"In the NFL, about 10 times per year, a head coach pulls a “surprise” onside kick - which I define as one that occurs in the first, second, or third quarter of the game. This century there have been 192 surprise onside kicks. Those have been successful 87 times (45.3 percent).Mar 14, 2020"
This century = 23 seasons of between 256 and 272 games per season, or around 5900 games (not including playoffs), so a surprise onside kick is attempted in roughly 3% of games.
I’d say it’s not a big part of the game.

That kind of sucks cause that eliminates surprise on-side kicks
There have only been two "surprise" onside kicks that I saw work in my lifetime...New Orleans in the Super Bowl and the Bills in the comeback game (although Houston should have been expecting it).
It's just not a big part of the game.

I’d be curious to know just how many of the “this is ridiculous” detractors actually know what a hip-drop tackle even is.

I believe that every man who has ever coached in the NFL has at one time or another said “it’s hard to win in the NFL.”
There are well over 20 NFL clubs right now who would kill to have McD as their head coach.

They can go as far as I’m concerned. I refuse to be held hostage with pay the fees or get the hell out approach.
I can find better things to do on a Sunday.The Bills thank you for your service. Godspeed.
How would you construct the 2024 Bills WR Room?

The argument for doing it is the rookie contract. If you believe it is a can’t-miss player it is attractive.
