I know you asked @Kirby Jackson, but for me it's MJH or stay put and do some finagling to double dip on WRs.

The Bills won 6 in a row without Diggs -- at least without him in a WR1 role.

He implied nothing of the sort. He repeatedly said, “it’s not September.”

I think we all know that Josh knew exactly what was going down...

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.

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.

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.

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!

whoops

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.

Do people really have nothing better to do with themselves?

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.

Hi. Welcome to The Stadium Wall.

Doesn’t move the needle for me, but to each his own.

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.

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.

Seems an appropriate place for this...

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.

The Bills thank you for your service. Godspeed.

PSLs are nothing new, and Bills fans have been blessed with not having to be in that environment for far longer than most NFL fans. Those who can afford it will buy, and those who can't, won't, but acting as though one is "owed" something just for being a STH in the cheapest stadium in the country for years comes off as whiny and entitled. As long as there's a decent product that new stadium is going to be filled...believe me.

The sense of entitlement among Bills fans is astonishing.
