    Only thing I'll say about the latest Diggs controversy is I don't expect the Bills to offload him this year, but I also don't think he is in their long term plans. Beane had a chance to save $13.1M off the cap this year with a simple restructure of his contract. He chose not to touch it. IMO that spells the beginning of the end.

    Do you think it's an age concern or off the field stuff (or both)?  I think they didn't restructured White's contract last off-season because of concern about his ACL if I remember correctly.

    This guy, who calls himself a "Dolphins Beat Reported," insinuates that Beane himself said that. I highly doubt that.

    Well I guess if it's reported on twitter by unserious people trying to stir up the pot it could lead to one saying, "when there's smoke, there's fire."

    Wonder how much trouble the two teams would get in if they did an unequal pick swap(for example: Bills trade a 2nd and 4th to team X for their 1st and 3rd) during the draft with a handshake agreement that they would trade Diggs to team X after June 1 with a swap of 7th round picks.

    Beane should do this and then renig on the trade.  Then even I'd call him a "wizard."

    only by a few million

    They'd save $38m more in cap space over three years if they trade him after June 1st.  They'd have to get one heck of an offer before the draft for them to give that up and his stock is pretty low right now.

    Not sure how this works but can they trade him prior to Sunday and still designate it a Post June 1st trade?  Otherwise they can't move the guy.

    No they can't.  The post June 1st designation can only be applied to players that are cut.

    People keep saying this but I don't see it. John Brown has career YPC 14.9 and had similar number while in Buffalo. Samuel has 10.7 and it was even less last two years.

     

    I am not an expert but it clearly seems that he won't play John Brown's role unless we use him differently than he was used before.

    He has the athleticism and physical profile of John Brown and the first seven years of production similar to Cole Beasley's.  He's not like either of those players as far as I can tell.  A poor man's Deebo Samuel?  At least that's the way Brady used him in Carolina.  It'll be interesting to see how he fits into this offense because it has me scratching my head.

    I did find it peculiar within 15 minutes of the Morse release, they made it clearly known to beat reporters that McGovern would be moving to center 

    My guess is it was mostly PR.  It was meant to soften the blow of the Morse release and the Bates trade to fans.  Along with avoiding future questions from reporters about wtf they were thinking.  Plus, Edwards was just signed and about to have a zoom press conference so he could say that he's going to be the starter.

  8. I heard rumors that Beane wasn't even talking to his agent so I'm a little surprised by this as all I kept hearing was younger and cheaper.  Pleasantly surprised and I hope he returns to form.  I always get squeamish when signing non qb's past the age of 30.

    Putting Josh’s cap hit at 60M next season, which means he’s gonna get a new extension next summer which will make him the 2nd highest paid player in the sport 

    Starting to hope all playoff games go to different ready to dish out big money streaming platforms so the salary cap keeps skyrocketing every year.  LOL.  Sure I'll watch a Wednesday night WC game exclusively on Pluto TV.

    gave it his all, sacrificed family events, very good at his job, did the dirty work, many years of loyal service! He was laid off from my company last week after 25 yrs. Same happens everyday and nobody blows nks

    And those close to that person feel empathy for them.  Fans get close to players over the years and it's natural to feel empathy for them as well.

    For the people who say he came on strong last year look at the stats. He disappeared most of the 2nd half and playoffs. He was a healthy scratch on two games down the stretch. Had very little impact after week 10.

    He was never a healthy scratch and produced when he wasn't dealing with injuries.  Seven million a year for two years is fine.  Needs to stay healthy though.

    That seems really cheap?

    Unique situation where he was going to get paid $39m no matter what.  Broncos are now paying him $37.8m not to play for them.  I don't think Russ takes the deal without some assurances which isn't a good sign for Pickett.  I think they're just spinning their wheels though and will take a QB in the first round next year.

    Weird.  I get that Denver is on the hook for $39m, but if I’m Wilson I’d want the Steelers to commit more to me than the vet minimum.  Steelers can move on or cut him if he struggles at all without thinking twice.  

    True but the counter to that is if your Russ you'd want the best team around you as possible to be successful.  Taking the veteran minimum helps them accomplish that.

    You said biden was in mental decline while MTG was an idiot. It seemed to me that you were saying biden isn't an idiot just old. I disagree, he has 50 plus years of saying idiotic things. If you're going to call MTG an idiot, call out bidens long history of lying, racist idiotic things he's said. 

    Sorry for the confusion.  Biden's an idiot in mental decline while MTG is an idiot.  I wouldn't call either a racist though.
