For all that money spent he got half a season out of Von (okay unlucky) and good production out of Jones. But that is a LOT of dollars down the drain. The right moves that summer we overtook KC. Unfortunately the moves we made were not what was required and wasted our last bit of cap flex in that first window.
Be that as it may, Beanes moves are still SOP, team dump under performing players, it’s barely news, happens with monotonous regularity in the NFL, me, not worried in the slightest, We will still win the AFCE, and go to the post season, jmo, feel free to disagree, but that’s my feelings on this,

Some of us did not like the 2022 offseason at the time and it has proven to be pretty much an unmitigated disaster:
Free Agent signings:
Jordan Phillips - $5m
Tim Settle - $9m
Daquan Jones - $14m
Von Miller - $120m
Roger Saffold - $6.25m
Ryan Bates - $17m
OJ Howard - $3.5m
Jameson Crowder - $2m
Extension:
Stefon Diggs - $96m
First round pick:
Kaiir Elam
I know he had some decent success with some of his later picks - Cook, Bernard, Benford - but it is by any standards a bit of a disaster of an offseason.
No it’s not, every team dumps guys in the same fashion ever so often, it’s pretty much SOP, Beane took several swings had some success, ( four consecutive AFCE titles, 2nd in total games won since 2020 iirc etc etc) and now is re-tooling the team, it ain’t nuthin but a thing, no worries…,

I think the media is over-blowing and hyping our needs way more than what we actually need.
Its the NFL, hype is their life blood, without the hype the nfl is just another pro sport that is only exciting some of the time, just like the rest of them.

Fuh k Rex Ryan, he is a walking disaster as a HC, never really tried to be good, even before he left the Jets.

I still legitimately have no idea what Shakir is tbh.
It appears he is an all arounder type receiver, and a real good one at that, if he was the one to get the ball in that fake punt, there is good reason to think he would have converted for the first down, jmo

The Stephen A. Smith-ization of sports tv shows is why I don’t watch them anymore. Who sits and watches two guys yelling at each other about things that dont even matter in life?
Well said, as to the “who” you mentioned… I won’t go there.

Josh is likely happy to not have to deal with Diggs constant whimpering, Josh like was said above liked having a quality WR at his disposal. I think the last straw for Diggs ego was the winning run the team went on and Shakir and Kincaid and Cook where getting targeted more and more frequently and the team was winning without Diggs being the constant go to option, Diggs like Beasley made himself less valuable with his antics, so the team dumped him for a next years pick. Beane did his usual great job of not airing the teams dirty laundry in public. We will see Diggs play the good soldier for a year or so in Houston, then he will do the same sh-t all over again when age rears its head and his targets get reduced and then he gets waived/cut the following season. He can wear his pink bunny suit down in Texas now…,

Forgive me in advance if this subject came up somewhere in the 116 pages of the Diggs is traded thread, but...
Let's assume the Diggs trade had to happen now...why the Texans?...Yes his production is way down, but even at 31 he's still got a lot left in the tank...and you may have handed the team that, at least on paper, seems to now be the most talent laden in the AFC.
People certainly would be up in arms if we dealt him to the Chiefs or Bengals, but the Texans may be a tougher "out" this season.
My biggest complaint in this whole matter is that Beane couldn't find a trade partner in the NFC, or a team in the AFC searching for a QB and not a threat.
Maybe other GMs around the league are wary now that Diggs has whined his way off of two teams, and weren't willing to give up a second round pick.
Why the Texans?
Because they made the highest offer out of every team that may have been interested in obtaining him, it’s really that simple.

Saying we can win it in a year with roster turnovers of major players on the team is what children do when they can’t comprehend the reality of a situation. When the adults explain what the situation really is the children would start calling people names because they just don’t like it.Struck a nerve there didn’t I, lol
ya know something, no-one on the Bills team is scared/worried, just those “adult fans” who like to “splain” stuff to others to make themselves feel secure, so why don’t you relax, fix yourself your favorite cocktail 🍸🚬 and maybe wait until training camp to make a definitive decision. Nuthin but luv fellow Bills fan, 😁👍

I would rather draft one too but I think Aiyuk could be a good #1 as well. He got 105 targets last year and I think if you give him 30 more with the Bills...I think we could see a Diggs from MN to Buffalo type of increase in production.
From what I know about Aiyuk is he's a yac guy and we need more of that.
In a way I would rather keep a guy like Aiyuk closer to his current rate of 100 ish receptions, and have the ability to spread the ball around more, imo it keeps defenses a bit more off balance when they aren’t sure who is being targeted, we forced to many passes to Diggs, making us pretty predictable for big chunks of games, jmo.

I’m in Beaufort SC and run into / see Bills fans at the grocery, out in town, and driving around, with regularity, SC is Bills country 👍

Of course we can, it’s just the fair weather fans that are having a tantrum, I say ignore those children,

The next day I was one who said it was a rebuild and McD needed to go also.
Right, right and right!!!This coach absolutely squandered our best chance in decades , multiple seasons in a row.
Now , here we are getting ready to rinse and repeat.
Never fear, at the beginning of the new season , I’ll pour some more salt in the would and point out that we will never win it all with McD.
Peace out till then, Boys and Girls✌️
Remember that QB for the Denver Broncos…, a whole lot of window is still open…,
-
The trade aftermath is that the ball will be spread around to the open receiver without regard to it being #1 thru #5, who’s ever open is the correct choice going forward, we will pick up two more WRs before training camp, I have no worries concerning Diggs departure, evidently he needed to go.

So far Beane's two biggest moves money wise in free-agency have both proven to be major long-term issues. Both would have been unnecessary if he and his staff could draft a decent WR and edge-rusher.
Which of our players besides Allen has even approached stepping up consistently come playoff time?
In the last two seasons it hasn’t been Diggs, hell, Shakir has been there, they both dropped TD passes, and Diggs had no excuses , Diggs is good, but injury prone, he is no longer a #1, he signed to a team that he will be their #3 before the end of next season…,

He’s above Dell so he’s the 2, honestly probably closer to a 1B to Collins 1A
if so not for long, sadly for Diggs he has become injury prone over the last couple of seasons, and disappears in the post season, that’s not what one wants as a “ 1b” receiver, he will be a slot type of guy for one or two seasons then get likely gets waived/cut. Age is a SOB when you’re a pro athlete.

It’s very telling about our offense that Diggs wanted out. Feels like we were going to get a 1st round receiver and he didn’t like losing his target share
He was already losing his target share during the last seven games of last season, now he is the #3 guy for Houston,

Mitchell would be nice, then McConky (sp) a bit later in the draft,

The 2nd next year was the best offer any team in the league was going to offer, Diggs is not viewed as a #1 by anyone outside of a bunch of stubborn Bills fans,

For context they’ve been saying they thought Diggs was a slam dunk restructure this offseason.
They don’t understand the Diggs contract situation at the most fundamental level so they are overplaying the “Diggs is the most toxic player ever” card.
Parts of Cover 1 are a good watch/listen like when they review tape, some of there content providers seem to think their opinions are all that and a bag of chips…,
