  1. I will quote myself... Steelers making another great trade I will keep Chicago on the list as at least they seem to have a plan and seem to be executing it.
  2. Steelers need to be charged with larceny. They just robbed the Eagles and Bears!!!
  3. The facts are true, but speculating on those options is spreading rumors. Beane and McDermott have said nothing to indicate Diggs would not be back. So it is just a fan and media driven rumor. There is no reporting. It's just idle speculation. There are hundreds of players with a year or two left on their contracts. Why is Florio not commenting on them?? If it was reporting he would publish a table of all the players similar to Diggs and in the final year or two of their contracts. Florio is just making these comments to get clicks.
  4. Steelers - Wilson gives them a shot to win the division Ravens - solid moves and doubling down on what they do best is usually not wrong Bears - if I was Chicago I would trade down and draft Harrison. I would give Fields another year with a better supporting cast. Worst case scenario you have made the offense much better and you draft another QB or find one in FA next year. That said maybe Caleb will be the answer. Chargers - they got the best HC available. McD will be gone in a year or two having wasted 2 more years of Allen in his prime. Bills win the SuperBowl in 2024 if Harbaugh is the HC. Bills have done just fine otherwise On the other end of the spectrum, Atlanta invested in the wrong QB and the wrong HC. They will be terrible again.
  5. Well said! The only thing missing is the inherent racism in some of the posts
  6. 100% agree. But I'm talking history of the whole league. Just don't see DT making as big an impact as other positions. Maybe phrase it differently. Where does he rank in DTs all time? Bob Lilly, Mean Joe Greene, Randy White, Merlin Olsen. He's probably not worse than 3rd on that list if not number 1!
  7. First ballot HOF for sure. Where would most put him on top 100 of all time? It's hard because DT doesn't make the splash plays. I'd say maybe somewhere around 50-70.
  8. I agree with this. I think Diggs likes the spotlight a little controversy brings. 100% agree he can't be the lone guy. You get no argument from me there. I would rather he get 90 catches if the other balls are going to Knox and Kincaid. If the other guys are stepping up it only gets easier for Diggs.
  9. Career stats is not the full measure of greatness. Again I can see how people say Reed is the best. Reed was my 3rd fav after Thurman and Bruce. Reed was amazing. Diggs and Moulds are both physically more talented than Reed. Reed had toughness and may have been the best run after catch WR in NFL history. Nobody caught Rice from behind, but nobody in my opinion ever ran with the ball better than Reed. All that said, Diggs has better speed, route running, and just as good hands as Reed did.
  10. Andre was great but never was in the conversation for best WR in the league. He never had back to back 1000 yard seasons. Diggs is better. Moulds was physically better than Reed but had ***** QBs. I'm not trying to take anything away from Reed. He was amazing but Diggs is better in every way except run after catch.
  11. I just read his base is $1.9M. As others have pointed out a "quality" backup QB probably is the same cost. As another posted pointed out, if Beane had done this and wasted 22 draft spots the board would rightly explode. Eagles got fleeced.
  12. When does the Bills brass get tired of McDermott's defense choking in games??? McDermott throwing Diggs under the boss was the lowest of the low for this loser coach. I would take ten Diggs over one McDermott I am trying not to get emotional but the people that what to run Diggs out of town really piss me off. Diggs is the best WR in franchise history and people want to run him out of town. I've said this before but he is the only one to stand up to McDermott and his joke of an OC. I love him for that!
  13. No. You can't trade dead cap. The Browns just inherited the bad contract and got a high draft pick for doing it. They had the cap space to absorb the stupid salary.
  14. They dropped 22 spots and now have a backup on a 1st round pick salary. Waste
  15. Agree. He is awful. Move makes total sense from Steelers perspective
  16. Don't understand this move from Eagles perspective? Only way it pays off is if Hurts misses seom time and Pickett looks good and then you trade him. All they did was lose draft position and gain nothing. What am I missing?
  17. Oh I know Josh missed him multiple times. I think he can easily catch 100 balls next year even with a more balanced offense with Cook, Kincaid, and Knox.
  18. Be dropped his contract and hasn't signed it yet.
  19. Yes. There hasn't been a RB that has moved the needle in the playoffs in what a decade or more. If Cook gets hurt they will just need yo adjust.
  20. Maybe maybe not. I admit I have a soft spot for Diggs because he had the balls to call out McDermott on his choice of OC. He has more heart and drive than most on the team. But north of 30 for a WR can be a quick downhill trajectory. So you may be right. I'm really hoping he has a big bounce back year. He's been one of my favorites.
  21. That's certainly possible if there is a run on WR. Might also depend on whether Diggs was injured or not. They likely have a better idea than us why his numbers dropped. If 2024 is his last year in Buffalo I have to believe they draft WR in the first round.
  22. Normally I am not an advocate of drafting "BPA". I think most GMs that say they do lie anyways. At best it is usually BPA at a position of need. However this year may be the year to just sit back and let the draft come to you. As of today, the only starting spot open is Safety. That may yet be addressed in FA but even if not they can take one on day 2 with a little maneuvering. They can justify drafting backups and future replacements at most levels. I'd be perfectly happy if Beane traded around to get the deep speed WR with size this team lacks. Then just take BPA the rest of the way. You could make an argument for just about every position even taking a backup QB that might have trade value in a year or two. OL, DL, RB, DB, and you can always use a backup LB for teams. Pick up a punter on day 3.
  23. Dodson played better than I thought he would, but I didn't think he was playing as well as PFF was grading him. Just have to hope Milano comes back to form and/or Williams is ready for more minutes Maybe at least to start the season Milano and Williams platoon to ease Milano back into things.
