You trade him for a 3rd, because we only have six draft picks and need cheap talent .. but more importantly, it rids us of his 10M+ cap hit, allowing us to be in play for another vet OL or WR

Pretty much agree. The only guys who truly affect Championship aspirations, on an individual level, are QB, WR and Pass Rusher. A collectively bad secondary… A collectively bad offensive line... Those things can affect aspirations, but not on an individual level. You can hide a weak link, you can scheme to strengths.

The constant squashed hope of checking this thread every time there’s activity, hoping there’s a linked tweet to something happening on this front. I still can’t get over his social media post about “show me the money”. If Diggs wants to throw temper tantrums, whatever… Ed Oliver!? Ha!!..get out of here man..

Tyreek Hill wasn’t exactly a choir boy in chirping his way out of KC for a new contract. They simply let their top Safety and CB1 walk in Free Agency. Watch Micah Hyde on GMFB yesterday. Dude bleeds for Buffalo. Diggs needs to stop talking, but it is what it is. Von got hurt. It happens. He’ll be back and if anyone can come back ferociously at his age, it’s freaks like Von. Who cares if we don’t have any of the following next year … Edmunds, Poyer, Oliver, Basham, Epenesa … None of them, singularly, or in totality, drastically affect our Super Bowl chances. In fact, I’d argue having them all back makes us less likely to accomplish that.

I mean … contrast his actions, ongoing, with Micah Hyde this morning on GMFB. Micah literally jumped in to glow about McDermott in one segment. You could tell by his reaction it was genuine. I don’t think Diggs is of that mindset.. in fact, I think he’s of the opposite. And that’s fine, and it’s ok to be upset …. But this is starting to become some bs… Grow tf up. I say this as someone who probably feels exactly how Diggs does about the coaching failures of McDermott and, up until now, Frazier, in the big moments. Throw in Dorsey, who he knows is only the OC because of Allen. Yea, I get it Stef.. you’ve made your point. Go to Cabo for a few weeks or something, my goodness.

Ok, sure.. but are you just going to dismiss how he affects the throwing lanes and vision of bad/mid QB’s in November?..

I disagree, but fine, let’s accept your premise.. September isn’t January, and in January he hasn’t been a difference maker. You don’t pay dudes that don’t make a difference when the lights get bright.

What exactly does he believe warrants “showing him the money”?

Philly might as well trade Jalen Hurts to the AFC. At this point, who cares, it's comical. Only 7 teams can get into the post-season.

Yea, I'm not overly concerned with Rodgers to the Jets. I think they're a Super Bowl contender for a year or two with him, but I also think it forces us to really up our game with a threat like that in Division. My frustration would definitely come with the fact it seems Green Bay just wants him gone.. and in doing so, likely won't demand significant draft compensation.

I'd be shocked if they don't sign a starting caliber RG in Free Agency. Just remains to be seen how high level of a starting RG that is. That allows them to go into the draft with Dawkins - Bates - Morse - FA - Brown, along with Boettger, Doyle and some low tier vets as depth. I think most of us would want them to do more that just that in addressing the OL, but that would likely be enough for them to go BPA and take Bijan Robinson if he's there.

Interesting insight with Micah Hyde hosting on GMFB talking about Diggs. It's clearly a "thing", but doesn't seem like a thing anyone is worried about... at least that's the public face he put on it.

Perfect. I’d do it yesterday.

Yup.. and it's valid. He has a few years left at an elite level, and he's witnessed 3 years of Championship aspirations evaporate in front of him.

THIS People keep acting like we’re losing Edmunds and Poyer off the defense that finished the year. If people want to doubt Von, Micah and Tre’s ability to come back from injury, fair.. but this defense we will field at some point in ‘23 has Von Miller, a healthy Tre White and Micah Hyde.

For me, it depends. If they let them walk and address Offense heavy in FA, I’m not opposed to a pass rusher at 27. Nolan Smith, specifically. (If he’s there) Zero interest in a MLB or S that early though.

I enjoy the random commentators on these networks bemoaning the fact we've moved on from Frazier, likely losing Poyer and Edmunds.. meanwhile most who follow the team think the organization finally "gets it", provided this speculation comes true.

How this isn’t apparent to those who watch CNN/MSNBC/Colbert is beyond me. These are the same people who were brainwashed about the pandemic. Same people who still believe Russiagate. Yet they truly believe that they’re intellectually superior to die hard MAGA types.. They are exactly the same.

We honestly didn’t even need TC releasing footage to know what happened that day … all he’s doing is putting it into the mainstream for non-hyper political Americans to become aware of. J6 was used, manipulated, and weaponized, to demonize Trump supporters and as an attempt to prevent Trump from ever running/becoming President again. Capitol police and those in Washington were aware of what could happen. “Agitators” in the crowd helped it happen. ….and away we go. I don’t want Trump to run for President. He’s not my guy. But I know what he represents to the establishment…. and that’s why we saw what we saw emanate from every corner of the political spectrum/media when the uniparty lost control of the narrative two nights ago.

At the end of the day... Bring it on. KC manages to get through the AFCW year after year. Next year they've got the Payton-led Broncos and Herbert/Chargers, with a meh team in Vegas. We'd have the Dolphins and Rodgers/Jets, with a meh team in New England. CIN and JAX sitting pretty in their respective divisions given the state of the Titans and the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens.

It's not an absurd statement, but we have no idea what the Bills Offense will look like come Kickoff '23. The Bills might go out and sign a legit RG and draft a RD1 RT. Bills might bring in OBJ. Might do something crazy like trade for Derrick Henry. On Defense, with Frazier gone and a potential ground-swell of change with Edmunds and Poyer gone, I have no idea what to expect. Are we more aggressive? Do we make any moves on the DL? What does White look like in, what should be, his bounce back year? What does Elam look like in Year 2?

Absolutely wild that some people are upset Tucker Carlson released footage that was kept from the American public. Bunch of sheep who simply want to be told what to believe. Lately Tucker has been going after left and right, on a multitude of issues … this one included. We need more people like him, not less. He’s the only worthwhile person on all of cable news. It’s why old school liberals (not whatever tf Democrats are now) vibe with Tucker … Jimmy Dore, Matt Taibbi, Bill Maher, Russell Brand, Aaron Mate … oh wait, y’all hate them too. And why do you hate them? Because you were told to. Tucker has his faults, but thank goodness we have one person like him in his position.

So … Falcons AND Panthers are reportedly out on Lamar. Uh… do we even know if this dude “has” a market?

For what it’s worth … NFL Live talking about Bills not tagging, and likely losing Poyer … Schefter chimed in and said that Edmunds is also not expected back in Buffalo.

Depends if they think he could be part of their future. Would probably depend on how they felt about him heading into the draft. No commitment to a QB. No big $$ RB. They could afford to pair Simmons and Oliver if they want.
