    No doubt in my mind Beane plans to use draft capital from next year’s draft, in order to move up in either the 1st or 2nd round this year and draft the WR he wants.  Question is who does he really like and how much is he willing to spend.

    If next years 1 is worth the same as this years pick at the end of two you wont get up too far to justify it to me.

    Bills windows with Josh

    to me it is one giant window not a bunch of little ones.  Chiefs fans probably thought a window closed when they traded Hill.  

     

    Players come and go every year, a lot of them.  Sometimes it is more significant guys like this year but the Josh window is still wide open.

    Yeah, there must have been a lot more going on that we don't know about. I know Diggs sent some mysterious tweets, but largely he kept the issues in house, and I respect him for that. Too many players go out and air their dirty laundry in interviews or on social media. Diggs didn't do that, regardless of how people feel about his tweets. Nothing was blatant.

     

    That said, it's a real shame that he couldn't be more professional and control his emotions and attitude. He basically forced himself off the team, and that sucks.

    I agree with this but I also think the Bills have some culpability for putting up with his antics.  Specifically giving him ANOTHER extension after the Tyreek Hill trade/new contract when he had several years left on his current deal.  There was no good reason to give him that extension since it kicked in after he was 30 other than he and his agent were using whatever leverage they had in the moment.   For the busniness of Diggs it was the right time to capitalize and he maximized his dollars out of Buffalo but it was not the right thing for the Bills.   In the end there was no way for Buffalo to make him happy.  The guy is immensely talented but reading Josh at pressers along with McDermott and Beane, it is obvious Diggs wanted to be force fed and for the most part they obliged him even though it may not be for the best of the team.  There will be a hole to fill but I believe the Bills will be fine without him.

    Thinking of impactful veterans that are either available or possibly could be made available

     

    Jefferson

    DK Metcalf

    Aiyuk

    Higgins

    Sutton

    Kupp


     

    feel free to make suggestions

     

    DK Metcalf would be my target. Only 26 and could be incredible with Allen

     

    I’d offer 60 and 2025 2nd.  That should be ballpark
     

    only 26

    Suggestion:   Draft

    I am pretty excited about this news because I think it is medicine that was needed.  However on the field there is a lot that will be missed.

     

    1.  Diggs brought a certain in your face intensity to practice and games that I think made the Bills DB's and other WR's better.  He is always challenging his opponent.

    2.  Diggs never missed one game in 4 years, that is remarkable.

     

    On the flip side, we should end up with someone who will at least try and block on running plays.

    My only question is how in the world are we giving up more picks to trade Diggs than what we are getting back? That doesn’t sound right…

    A couple things. 

     

    1.  volume of picks and value of picks are different things.    You would rather have a 2 vs a 5 and 6.

    2.  This is often not understood....you trade contracts as much as players.   The Texans are taking a toxic/crap contract off the Bills hands.  So yes they are getting a player but it comes with a high AAV for them also.

    3.  Diggs is over 30

    Looking back on it, maybe he was having issues all the way back when he was traded from Miami.

     

    That video was heart breaking.

    When he asked to call his Grandma and what they got for him in the trade?

    Brown, Bernard & Torrence Get Nice Pay Bonus

    Does that come off the cap now or is this accounted for some other way?  Either way, this is one of the things the NFL does pay wise that makes some sense..........pay the guys who play.  Bernard is on there too....the Bills with 3 of top 17.........what do the Beane detractors have to say about this?
