That's how I see it. if he's cut the $1.2M cap savings buys a free agent. I think his leash is short.

Yes, he was. You can talk all you want but the bottom line is this. IF Josh wanted Diggs on the team, he would be on the team, NOW. IF Josh doesn't want Diggs on the team, he won't ever be on the team. Um, he is not on the team.

He is on the bottom. Tied for 90.

I'm sure trading him outside of the conference was also a consideration.

That would be the hope. He cost $0 in cap against the top 51. Anything he brings that is positive is a win.

LOL, good one. But seriously, I'm hoping that each one of those points can be accomplished depending on the team the Bills are playing. I'm no football know-it-all but it seemed to me that McD's defenses did not game plan the way many would think so. Take away the good things an opposing offense does well and exploit their weaknesses. Don't overhtink it. IMO.

Diggs is not coming back to Buffalo. LOL, what are you people thinking that believe that. Josh is not going to allow that. If Josh wanted Diggs to stay, he would have never left.

The stadium looks awesome. You guys are going to make me want to come back and go to a game no matter the cost.

After 2 seasons, one can conclude (so far) it's not been a good pick. WHY Keon has not performed and how it was handled by McDermott is a question that can be asked. Since that press conference (let's remember this is the owner who blew snot bubbles) the first time he talked in front of the Buffalo press, both Beane and Brady have defended Keon vigorously. This season will tell a lot about this whole "stupid" situation. IMO.

If Terry Pegula is to be believed that he felt something had to change and, in his mind, McDermott was the one that had to go, then keeping Beane and ultimately Brady does make some sense. Tearing OBD completely down with Josh turning 30 would not be prudent. That being said, "an upgrade" over McDermott is not going to be a cut and dry situation. Sean did so much good for this organization. But, like you stated, it was time for him to go. Whether or not "others" should have can be debated, but the facts are Beane and Brady are here. Brady being a first time HC undoubtably will bring both good and bad results compared to Sean's coaching record. How much McDermott's "style" and "control" can only be attempted to be debated AFTER this season. It's going to be one hell of a ride this year! I'm hoping for the best.

That would have been horrible.

Exactly. My point is I hope he can prove more than the critique of his 30 snaps on defense last season. Which was his first.

Why is this thread needed?

First off, 215. Come on dude. Try to be somewhat an anti-buffalo bills poster that doesn't stretch the truth THAT MUCH. Let's wait to we see what they are going to do.
