Has anyone called Douglas Jemal? He has lots of deep investments in Buffalo. Perfect fit.
He's a bit...old (81)
Also, I don't believe he has nearly enough bank. Pretty sure his net worth is something like 150 million.

I think the OP hurt himself thinking up this topic

I don't think Devonta Smith is worth that contract. AJ Brown is a true #1 option. 25 mil for a #2 (albeit a very good one) is pretty crazy imo

Maybe he's become best friends with Beane after voluntarily taking that pay cut 😂

I see he's still on the magic mushrooms

When he was completely healthy he was a reasonable level rotational DT..
Unfortunately that only happens 2-3 weeks of any year ..
Except in 2019. He was probably my favorite player on that relatively nondescript team.

Jason Whitlock claims it was because he wanted to go somewhere with great strip clubs and to be closer to his brother so they could hang out:
Jason Whitlock: “I’m going to go back to what I said a year ago... Stefon Diggs has wanted out. He went to Buffalo to pair up with Josh Allen and to win a Superbowl, and now this will be his 10th NFL season and he don't care about winning at this point. What I told y'all a year ago was he’s like ‘man, I'm up in here in Buffalo, I came out here to win Super Bowls, we're not going to win a Super Bowl, it's cold up in here, the strip clubs aren't as good, let me get to a city where the strip clubs are off the charts, and me and my brother can hang out...’ I speculated that he wanted to get to Dallas. Well, he couldn't get to Dallas, but...
It's been years since I've been to a strip club, but I used to be a strip club connoisseur. Houston as a ‘strip club capital -- it's got to be in the top five in the country. I'd put Miami, Vegas, Portland, Houston, and Atlanta -- those are the top five. I'm telling you; people swear by Houston strip clubs, Stefon Diggs is very happy. It's not about winning at this point, it's not about stats, he's made his money, he's gotten the big contracts, he's good. He'll want to put up some numbers, but he don't really care. He's not about that life, and this ain't about winning.
I know that Houston is all-in. they got DeMeco Ryan, the great young coach, they got the great young quarterback, Joe Mixon, they got Danielle Hunter, who had a tremendous season last year... Houston is in win-now mode. Stefon Diggs looks good on paper, but I actually think he'll end up being the problem and could throw a banana peel for the Houston Texans, who have made a lot of moves trying to win right now.
He got 160 targets last year in Buffalo and the least amount of targets he ever got in four seasons in Buffalo was 154, so they fed him the ball. I’m not dismissing what CJ Stroud did as a rookie, but we've seen quarterbacks have great ‘years’. Josh Allen has had a great 3,4, 5-year run, but Diggs has got to be careful what he wishes for here. He may regret abandoning Josh Allen. Not the city of Buffalo and that cold weather, but Josh Allen. Josh Allen is a better quarterback than CJ Stroud and he's more proven than CJ Stroud. This could be one of those ‘Oh, the grass is greener! They got Joe Mixon! They got Danielle Hunter! DeMeco Ryans is a hot new coach! CJ Stroud is the best young quarterback in the league, and Sean McDermott and Josh Allen don’t know what they’re doing!’ The grass isn’t always greener. CJ Stroud could take a step back, and Josh Allen is NOT going to take a step back.
Diggs put pressure on Josh Allen and he’s going to eventually do the same thing to CJ Stroud. Right now, it’s in the honeymoon phase, but these diva wide receivers, particularly with Black quarterbacks, they can get out of pocket in terms of how entitled they feel. Think about the way Terrell Owens treated Donovan McNabb. They’re putting a controversial, polarizing, and outspoken receiver paired with their hot young quarterback, and it could blow up in their face.
I’m saying this in all seriousness and circling back to what I said in the beginning of this. The strip club culture in Houston is going to be a problem. I’m not even trying to be funny. Stefon Diggs, his brother Trevon, they like the social life, they like to get out there and party, and have a good time. They like ‘304s’ and there’s a lot of 304’s in Houston. There are some women in Houston celebrating right now ‘HEY, WE FOUND SOMEONE TO REPLACE JAMES HARDEN HERE IN HOUSTON! I called it a year ago. The guy wanted out of Buffalo, he wanted to be in a city where he could party, and he just moved to Houston.”
I didn't realize Jason Whitlock was still a thing. For anyone who hasn't followed his career, he makes a living off of taking contrarian points of view. He doesn't actually believe in anything he writes, he's just in it for clicks. Been like that for a long time. In this case, he's probably right.

He never was imo. I have zero confidence that he can make a big kick and his nickname was definitely not earned like Hauschka. Even Rian Lindell felt more trustworthy.
Bass should be on the hot seat to begin the year.

Yeah. Every team needs a guy who is a malcontent, drops a ton of passes, and manages to score zero touchdowns in a 20 game span

The thing that bothers ME, if anything, is this:
When Diggs was a Bill, all we heard about was how he was a diva, a malcontent, a headache, and was maybe showing his age last year and no longer a number one receiver.
Now that he's a Texan, he's the weapon that's gonna put them over the top, they're favorites in the AFC, he's still a #1 WR, and the Bills got fleeced.

Because it’s so likely that the Bills stay healthy?
Have you looked at the key pieces they are counting on? Two aging tackles (one of whom hasn't played close to a full season in 9 years!) protecting a 40 year old QB coming off a torn Achilles. What could go wrong?

I think it's entirely possible they still win 10 plus games and win the division again. I never said they were going to suck this year. The topic of this thread was that the Bills can still win a Super Bowl this year. That's where I completely disagree.
You may be right, but let's give it some time. There is a lot of offseason to go. I'll make my judgment in August

Give it up man....we are looking at a 1 year re-tooling phase right now. It's not a bad thing. Bills will be fine in the long run. You are nuts if your expectation is a Super Bowl win in 2024
FIFY. And I still see the Bills as favorites in the East this year because quite frankly, our division could be pretty bad.
I think 10 wins might take it this year. The Jets are the only threat (last year it was Miami), and it is highly unlikely they will stay healthy.

A lot of homers on this board. Any other board this trade is an F
Interesting calling people homers when Diggs is basically in your user name.
Maybe it is a negative for this year (maybe), but it is undoubtedly a positive for the future. You can't sit here and say that having Diggs on that contract for 4 more years would be a good thing. Did Beane screw up in giving that extension? Yes, and now he's taking his medicine.

The more I sit here the more I am happy riding out the WR with a pick at 28. Draft OL, DL, LB, and S... Retool this year.
Next year in a healthy cap, 2 picks inside 40, another at 55-65ish we can move up if we want or draft 2 more WRs and more firepower.
Stay at 28. For the love of God.
I can potentially get on board with this. No matter what, I won't quite know how to feel until the summer

WGR is saying we're eating 31 million. Who's right??
We were at a 27-28 million hit before the trade. Now it's 31 million. So only a few million additional cap hit was added. It's just all dead now

If all we're eating is an additional 4 million cap hit this year to get free next year, I'm not horribly upset by this. Need to see what comes next

I know nothing of the politics of this situation. Ordinarily I would say 2 billion dollars over a 40 year span is literally nothing.
But because of KC's straddling of the Kansas and Missouri line, Jackson County has a smaller than expected population of 700k. Simple math tells you this could impact the average taxpayer far more than an Erie County resident's tax burden for the Bills new stadium.
So I understand the results of this vote.

Not “any” injuries. It’s $10k and a potential loss of license if the injuries are minor which they were. Nobody is going to jail over this. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but worst case scenario is probably a 4 game suspension.
There’s literally video of the occupants of the cars getting out and walking away without so much as a limp.
Why are you so quick to downplay the incident and take the player's side? Would you be saying the same thing if someone was killed, which could have easily happened?
But you're right, nothing of any consequence will ever happen to this guy or other model citizens like Britt Reid or Tyreek Hill.

Injuries will be their major hurdle but that is a very good roster.
They don't scare me in the least. If they had a better coaching staff perhaps, but that team is a clown show. But hey, it seems they are shaping up as the offseason champions again

Jets are going to be good.
Don't they still have Saleh, Hackett, a declining 40 year old qb coming off an Achilles injury, and an Oline that will be on IR by week 6?

I wouldn't want Russell Wilson on my roster in any way, no matter how cheap. The Fields deal similarly has little financial or compensation risk but at least he has some upside.
6 hours ago, Logic said:Nothing says "offensive competence" quite like combining Russell Wilson with Arthur Smith.
Add in a dash of angry George Pickens and you have the recipe for some knee-slapping entertainment. Not from the product on the field, mind you, but from the absolutely hilarious level of ineptitude on display.
Personally, I'm just happy the Steelers seem pathologically unwilling to try to get a true franchise QB to go with their elite defense. They took a swing with Pickett, it didn't work, and now they're like "give us the ghost of Russell Wilson please". You love to see it.This x 1000 percent

That was the previous lease lol. Notice how it says 10 years? The new lease is for 30. It does contain a decreasing out as time goes on, but it's not remotely possible for at least 15 or so years.
