Me too. I wonder if we could get a 3rd for him.
You'll get a 6th and you'll like it.
He has zero value.
You might be able to straight up trade him for Treylon Burks or some other player who hasn't panned out for another team, but that's pretty much it.

Milano might be viewed as a "system" LB.
He's an excellent player and I don't know that we would get much for him. -

Haha. My thoughts too! 39% and 18% chances respectively. Screw it. Let's just draft a Safety at #28 and DT at #60.
I'm not going to run the numbers, but my gut tells me the hit rates for those positions are probably similar.
The draft is a crapshoot that we pretend to a genuine understanding of. There are way fewer "sure things" then there are players.

WR is arguably the 2nd most important position in Football. If you're not moving up, I think double dipping becomes necessary. You might even want a 3rd later round guy for bottom of the roster competition.
I get that there are other holes like DT, Safety, EDGE but we actually have serviceable players right now in those positions, which is just not the case at WR.

He sucked last year - plain and simple. Injuries definitely played a part - he tried to play with a broken wrist for a few weeks.
At the same time, he was actually pretty solid the previous 2 seasons so I'm not worried that he's "lost a step". He's always had issues with drops so thats probably never going away, but the guy can play and he's probably our best redzone weapon at this point. If we're going to play a more physical brand of football with him and kincaid as pass catchers, you can do a LOT worse at TE2.
I think the drops can be mitigated. He's basically 2-3 years behind his contemporaries because of injuries and the fact that he was never used as a pass catcher in college. He's an athlete though and a stellar red zone target, and I think you're right, we can do much worse as TE2.

I'm way higher on Knox than most people on this board, and I think he's gotten a bit of a bum rap because of injuries and the fact that he constantly needed to assist the subpar O-Line with blocking. I think he's a good player with a lot of upside and a contract that he hasn't lived up to, but I don't know that it's 100% his fault.
I don't think Knox is a gadget guy, but I do like the idea of being even more creative in the playcalling.

Not everyone is going to like the things that you like, that’s just life.
Diggs clearly left on bad terms and that’s soured him to all of WNY.
Whatever, he won’t get his lambo stuck in the snow in Texas.

It really is bizarre how the OP (and some other fans) are taking this so personally. The local media said what they thought was correct given the information at the time. They were wrong, it happens.
Who cares.

I'm sure Seattle would take that deal. That's too much to spend on Metcalf when he would need a new contract.

I, for one, will not miss WR screens to Diggs where he stutter steps backwards for no reason and gains 3 yards.I didn't understand those play calls either. They felt like they were designed for someone else. You should not throw a WR screen to a WR who doesn't like taking hits.

I think Shakir is an elite roleplayer and the production he got is indicative of the coverage talent he faces. That's not a dig at Shakir, I think he's going to be a high end slot WR3 guy, someone like Tyler Boyd, although stylistically they're not really the same.
This is the same as Gabe Davis, who was promoted too far in the lineup. You want these types of players as #3s, not 2s or 1.
I'd love to be wrong though.

I enjoyed Diggs' time here but am glad he's gone. It's been a while in coming. Thanks for posting, this story doesn't surprise me.
I think Diggs wants to win and probably realizes his career is getting closer to winding down. I think he took it on himself to challenge Josh on his bad habits and probably got tired of it against Cinci and perhaps also sick of McD. Last season everyone, especially Josh, got sick of Diggs' approach. I definitely felt Josh was ignoring Diggs on the field when his stats were tanking.
I love Josh but let's be real, he's very stubborn as a QB. Doesn't always go through all his reads preferring to force the ball and God help him he throws the wide open check-down. Obviously he's proven capable in certain games during Dorsey's time when they tried to force him to be more of a pocket QB. But he chooses not to see the entire field regularly.
What worries me the most from this story and situation is maybe no one's holding Josh accountable anymore, not even Josh himself. That may be the biggest window closure to the Super Bowl.
This is a ridiculously melodramatic take with almost nothing backing it up.

I really don't like the idea of losing this year's second round pick, but I'm okay with moving up for a top WR talent.
1 minute ago, BBFL said:Would rather they hold on to 60 personally and move up to the teens and get a possible falling Odunze or Thomas Jr.
Nabers looks to be the real deal but there’s a lot of talent in this draft that would even allow you to double dip if you can hang on to 60. They likely wont, but you never know.
That’s actually a reasonable stance and I can’t go against the logic you’ve displayed here.
Double dipping is where I'm at too. I think it makes more sense. Give me a AD Mitchell and Franklin/Legette/Polk/McConkey. You've got so much talent then.
If they do move up, I want to see them go get a low-risk high reward FA like Thomas.

La'el Collins is to OT as Rodger Saffold is to OG. Let's hope we can get 1/2 season out of him before the bottom just falls out like Saffold. Could be good depth.
I doubt Collins is being brought in to compete for OT. He's competition for LG and possibly the swing role.

I'm a little surprised by the reaction to this, he could push Edwards out of an OG role.
OL with lots of starting experience are valuable. Kromer has done a great job with the line. I think this is a home run.

We get Nabers and keep pick 60? SEND IT.
Chris Trapasso said on WGR yesterday that he thinks packaging our 1st & next years 1st & the Vikings 2nd should be enough to move us to 7.
It's a lot to give up, but to stabilize your WR room it's probably worth it.
The other side of it makes some sense too, just wait and draft 2 talented WRs in the 1st & 2nd. It's kind of hedging your bets that one of them will be able to just take over.
I know there are some Justin Shorter truthers out there who will tell you we don't need two WRs but I think it's sort of laughable.

1 of the things i don't get with these trades is how do the Bills get left holding the bag for so much cash ? If you take the player you need to take his contract too !!
Is the reason why the Bills get stuck with that much of a cap hit $31 million next year because they paid him bonuses in order to make more cap space and pushed it down the road ? I don't get it .
That’s right. The deferred money all comes due immediately now that he’s been traded.
The upside is now after this season his cap hit is 0, freeing up a lot moving forward.

I thinks its a mixed bag
But I wouldnt go that hard and go for nine
Sure move for the guys you feel fit.
We aint gettin Marvin Harrison jr so ...
I think a more moderate move up to Brian Thomas is realistic.
Id also be fine just grabbing AD Mitchell at ~28 and move around the 2nd and grab Franklin.

Stef's playoff performance in the last 3 years is terrible. 0 tds and catch% of 58%. If we can somehow come away with 2 quality wrs in this draft we'll be just fine. I was personally tired of the diva drama and constant inuendos. Time to get young "wr wise" while JA17 is still young. Thanks for trying Diggsy.
What's more wild is look at how potent the offenses were in those games against the Chiefs without Diggs doing anything. The Bengals game not withstanding because the whole team was a mess that day.
It sucks that it didn't work out more cleanly, Diggs is a phenomenal talent, and the Bills will be fine without him. All of these things can be true.

Beane, as always, great job not actually answering any questions.
How carefully he answered some were very telling though, IMO.
Did Diggs ask for a trade? Beane:

My only question is how in the world are we giving up more picks to trade Diggs than what we are getting back? That doesn’t sound right…
The salary/contract.

If the Bills are going to be a serious contender this year they need to trade for an Aiyuk, Higgins, or Jefferson. If not, then they need to make a massive trade up to get one of those top three WR prospects. That's the only way this team competes for a Super Bowl this year and it sucks if it doesn't happen.
Higgins was franchise tagged, right?
I think Aiyuk would make the most sense if they're looking for an established #1 guy.
I'm more intrigued with the trade up for a rookie and you bring in a WR like Thomas that's kind of a low risk gamble.

Considering he did a private workout for the Bills I wouldn't be too worried about his combine numbers if the Bills drafted him.
I wouldn't be happy with him at 28 either though. I've said this a few times, but I like the idea of taking best receiver available at 28 (AD Mitchell or BJT if we're lucky, etc...) and then moving up a little in the second and getting McConkey / Franklin / Polk.
