SCBills

Outside of the forced debate shows (this news broke during First Take)... quite a bit of the analysis of this move is some iteration of "The Bills did the right thing". Kyle Brandt linked above... Lombardi is talking about how the list wasn't that long to take on Diggs 18M and now let's see if he's happy being a 2nd or 3rd option on Houston.

Would y'all rather trade up in a massive move for a Nabers, Harrison, Odunze then take another guy mid-rounds or use a pick next year to move up and double dip on say a Xavier Legette and AD Mitchell?

Also, we free up a ton of money next year, no? Guys can be signed on minimal deals this year with void years or on 2-3 year deals with money backloaded into next year if that's a move. I'd be surprised if we trade for a guy, but not shocked... what I could see is a WR-centric early Draft with some moves made and then a WR that becomes available ala Hopkins last year, has our sights set on him post 6/1.

Draft two guys early and then with Diggs, pretty much, off the books next year and 10M freed up on 6/1.. maybe we have another Hopkins-type watch this Summer.

You don't waste a prime year of Josh Allen. I'm sorry, you just don't. And we're not. This is a gamble, but this move wasn't made in a vacuum.. Beane is still a top tier GM and I firmly believe this move has corresponding moves for this upcoming season.

I mean.. Diggs isn't prime Tyreek. We're getting a '25 2nd Round pick, but it's the Vikings pick. Good chance that pick is in the top half of the 2nd Round next year. Clearly part of the calculus is using a high pick next year to move up this year.

It's the Vikings pick.

The RD2 pick we're getting next year is Minnesota's pick, correct? So.. it could be top end of the second round next year. Have to believe next years RD1 is firmly in play this year as part of a trade up, whether that's into the top 8 or two get two guys in the next tier.

Also.. we all know Josh Allen signed off on this, right?

With two 2nd's next year, a high pick from next year is being used this year... I believe that to be the calculus. We currently have Shakir and Samuel... We're getting two WR's in the Top 100 picks this year.

I love it. For those worried about a 2nd Rounder next year... we now have serious ammo to trade up this year.

Uh, what?

Felt bad that Diggs didn't get the attention he wanted on X last night with the Taiwan earthquake and all that was going on.. but rest assured, our WR1 is back into his rightful spot of Top 10 trending topics across America this morning.

He just called out his QB tonight. That’s how it reads to me.

Wouldn’t expect Josh to say anything else publicly.

If I’m Beane, Id honestly just ask Josh Allen what he feels comfortable doing. Not sure how their relationship is, but when Diggs says stuff like that.. I’m letting Josh determine his fate here. Hes not good enough when it matter for all this constant bs.

RFK was ready for that one

I would love to live in the country you live in where they stay to themselves. I have an uncle who was gay, and I witnessed the most beautiful form of love when his husband stayed by his side as he slowly faded away, dying from cancer. I’ve supported Pride up until it no longer became about love and inclusivity. It is now a religion.. and plenty of LGB’s will agree with me on that. Stop calling people hateful because you apparently live in a part of the country that’s been preserved in time when it comes to leftist ideology.

I’d agree with that 100% 1) People associate “lack of civility” with Republicans now noticing things and not reacting like ah, shuck, oh well Romney Republicans used to. 2) MAGA is a toxic movement capitalizing on the very real despair a certain segment of this country is feeling. 3) Intentional provocation. Stir the pot and then if the right reacts, it’s J6, it’s Christian Nationalists.. You WILL observe the state religion on your holy days, and if you push back, you’re a bigot and if you dare act on that.. look at J6, look at pro-life protesters… we control everything so try your luck.

“All my hate” I noticed you attempted to engage with me on substance, realized you don’t have anything to retort with and then decided to go with character assassination. I get along just fine with plenty of Democrats in Georgia. We differ on plenty, but most have a common sense of good and evil, right and wrong. It’s about standing up for what you believe in. It’s why Buckhead had to threaten to secede from Atlanta until they dropped progressive policies they tried to implement. And I’m thankful that I live in an area that has some sense and wants to protect their citizens. I live in a Democrat city but at least we have normal Democrats and a conservative Governor. When I meet leftists who throw up ACAB, pro-Hamas, support Antifa … shocking… they are hardly ever from the South. How they ended up in Atlanta, I’ll never know .. but I’m hopeful Kemp will follow DeSantis lead and implement policies that send them to Portland.

It only became “self segregation” when a state like Florida is doing it. New York has been openly hostile to conservatives. Causing so many to leave and the ones who have stayed behind, perpetually angry. Im from Long Island.. when I tell you the level of hate Irish and Italians on Long Island have for the Democrat politicians they live under.. they’ve done the best they can in electing Republicans in almost every LI jurisdiction until the Santos fiasco (which also includes Queens) but they still have to live under Dem rule due to NYC .. or leave .. and Kathy Hochul has basically told them to do as much. You misunderstand the south re: abortion. Kemp passed a heartbeat ban and won in a landslide. He now has a 70% approval rating in Georgia. Above water with every demo. When asked a singular question about abortion, you may get that response, but it’s likely way down the list on what they care about. As someone who’s lived up north and down south, the abortion debate is vastly different for that reason - energy.

Do. Not. Care. I left NY and moved south a few years ago when I turned 30. Best decision I ever made. I don’t want to see it become NY. And you conflate politics with liberals (actually Leftists). This isn’t about politics.. this is about people who hate me and what I stand for. These are people who cheer the lighting of Niagara Falls trans colors on the holiest day of the Christian calendar. You know who that would also offend? Most Democrats in Atlanta. You think black people what to see the King & Queen building in Sandy Springs lit up trans colors on Easter.. mocking their religion. Nah. This isn’t politics. This is about rooting out people who want to destroy what makes growing southern areas so appealing to so many, R and D alike. Black people aren’t leaving Florida because they know the NAACP is lying to them. White liberals that want absolute filth in school libraries are the type that deems Florida uninhabitable now. Good.

Trump is a sac-religious narcissist and I cringe whenever I see his pastors like Jeffries come on Fox promoting him as a leader for evangelicals. That being said.. stop asking Christians why they will vote for him over a man who makes a mockery of his faith by incessantly referencing said faith to absolve him of his progressive led assault on Christian values and what evangelicals hold sacred.

This is the way. DeSantis may have some people who are mad at rising costs leaving Florida, but many are also liberals who no longer feel welcome in the state. He’s replacing them with conservatives and moderates from people leaving northern states. Good. More GOP Governors should follow the model. New York makes it very well known that they merely tolerate the conservatives/moderates on Long Island, Staten Island and Upstate/WNY. They do everything in their power to flaunt to you that you’re not really welcome in this state. As someone who moved south, I fully endorse McMaster & Kemp following suit. Hopefully Robinson in NC if he wins as well. People are moving to these states far in excess of those leaving every year. Send liberals packing back up north or to SoCal if they want nice weather. I cannot emphasize this enough - We don’t want them here. I wish we could live together in harmony, but we cannot. They are locusts that destroy everything.
