Royale with Cheese

With the other WR's and the return they got, its safer to say we got the best offer than we didn't get the best. Plenty of examples give evidence to that.

Did you forgot about this? This puts the game at 16-10 at halftime as opposed to 16-3. Meanwhile the Texans lose to the Ravens 34-10. So the Browns went 11-5 in a good division with 3 teams making the playoffs. The Texans go 10-7 with a very weak division with no other playoff teams.

Well, Baker Mayfield in 2020 broke the rookie TD record. The Browns were a controversial play away from beating KC at KC in the divisional round. Kevin Stefanski is a 2 time Coach of the Year. The Browns were 8th in Super Bowl odds coming into 2021. The Browns with the Ravens, Steelers and Bengals were a much tougher division than the AFC South that the Texans are in. You are implying that what we got wasn't the best offer....hence meaning we didn't get enough because we left a better offer on the table.

This explanation doesn't make any sense. You have established that he was awful in his last 10 game stretch and surprised he got anything for him. But when we get a 2nd, it wasn't the best offer? You're basically saying that he wasn't worth a draft pick of any value but at the same time the value we got wasn't enough.

I have heard he's terrible now.

He was a 7 time Pro Bowler in a era where Pro Bowl meant something. He was a 2 time Second Team All Pro. 4 Time All AFC Team. Yes, he was a top player.

I just heard that! He's going to Dallas in 2025.

The thought has crossed my mind that they don't go after one of the top WR's. Double up late in the 1st and trade back up early in the 2nd.

Can you help me out here? You're surprised we got anything for Diggs but then say that you're not convinced a 2nd was the best offer?

Amari Cooper went for a 5th as a 26 year old in the prime of his career. A 2nd for Diggs was great value.

I honestly can see them being the 2021 Cleveland Browns.

Do you really not understand the difference in eras? When Reed retired, he was 3rd all time in receptions. In 1990, there were only 3 WR's with 80 or more receptions. Yes that's right....3. Last year in 2023, there were 23. Do you see the difference? In Jim Kelly's first 6 seasons, he had 2,252 passing attempts. In Josh Allen's first 6 seasons, he has 3,145 passing attempts. Nearly a thousand more passing attempts.

Bills vs Texans MNF Opener?

So this was like Zack vs Slater over a girl they both just met and Mr. Belding's hair piece fell into the punch bowl at the Max?

Don't tell me, my childhood hero Jim Kelly got knocked out twice by NFL players. Loose Lori did it huh?

Andre Reed ripped the Bills Front Office prior to a playoff game...I believe before Music City Miracle.

Not surprised.

I think it got beyond annoying and to the level of "sick of his s***". This is just stuff that's made public. Who knows how Diggs has been communicating with everyone behind the scenes.

I think Beane is just being "PC" and didn't want Allen in the spotlight with this. I am willing to bet that Allen knew step by step. If Beane had stated Allen knew that it was going to happen, then Allen starts getting questions that we are trying to avoid and drop the Diggs drama for good. Yep. Everyone hates being around someone like that in any setting.

That's actually pretty funny.

Very interesting. I think Allen probably saw this coming and knew it was going to happen for awhile now.

I honestly don't think that the Bills do this without Allen give it a thumbs up. I think James Jones on one of those talk shows said the Bills figured out they can with without him. Allen spreads the ball out well, maybe better than any QB in the league. With Diggs getting up there in age, slowing down and Allen not having to worry about getting Diggs his targets....Allen could actually be better. You can't force the balls to Diggs like it's 2020 or 2021 anymore. Diggs will want his targets regardless if he's slowing down. Allen can now just walk up to the line and can just throw it where he thinks its the best place to go rather than satisfying Diggs ego. It has to be a relief IMO. WR are diva's and probably will have to deal with something like this again but a more mature way. I appreciate what Diggs did for us for 4 seasons but these, what Tim Graham said "micro aggressions" do get annoying, especially for Allen.

I would rather draft one too but I think Aiyuk could be a good #1 as well. He got 105 targets last year and I think if you give him 30 more with the Bills...I think we could see a Diggs from MN to Buffalo type of increase in production. From what I know about Aiyuk is he's a yac guy and we need more of that.

I would 100% do this.

I would do that in a heartbeat but wouldn't think this would be enough. Both Bills #1 and #2 picks will be later in the round picks. The Vikings might be gold but still, a second so 33 at the earliest. The Giants could use one of these elite WR's as well.
