    I'm late to this party, but gonna throw my two cents in anyways...

     

    This is the first move that has me turning skeptical on Magic Beane.

     

    For everyone afraid of re-signing Shaq or JP because they only performed in contract years, this signing is even worse since Butler has been a BUST and barely even performed in his contract year. Sure, he did "better" than previous seasons, but it still wasn't that good. Plus, he already has off-field issues. So not sure how this is better. Especially given that we're paying him on par with what Shaq and JP got. It's not like we brought Butler in at $4M/year. We're paying him Shaq/JP/Star money.

     

    And to pile on, he plays a position where our roster is already full.

     

    With Addison replacing Shaq at DE, and Jefferson replacing JP at 3-tech DT, Butler will be battling to get into rotation with Star and Harry at 1-tech DT.

     

    I guess this means we'll see one of those 1-tech DTs traded as Beane likes to do. That is the only part of this deal that I can get behind.

     

    But right now, it seems like we're just throwing lots of money at Beane's Carolina guys. Which, btw, it's not like Carolina has had the best D in the league (or even close to being as good as ours has been), so I'm officially sick of the Carolina signings. Time to find talent elsewhere.

    I understand where this post is coming from, and I also have some reservations about this signing. 

     

    I also see the possible positives. I think they are gonna show them what they did with Phillip's and tell him they can get the best out of him as well. He has the tools, and they had a chance to evaluate him his rookie season, so they must like him as a fit for what they wanna do. 

     

    Now I also see another Carolina defensive linemen getting paid more than what he appears to have shown he deserves,  and he was a bust in Carolina...that is a concern.

     

    I am choosing to believe in McDermott, Beane, and our Dline coach that they will get him to play to his potential, but it could definitely be another Star situation where he doesn't live up to his contract.

    The Bills have just gave up a boatload of draft picks for a WR.  I admit he is an upgrade for what we currently have, however when a GM named Doug Whaley traded picks for Sammy Watkins, he never lived down that decision. Do you remember why Whaley made the trade? it was to bolster and support a young QB named EJ Manual.  This trade was done for the current young QB Josh Allen.   I hope this works out,  if not, it will be a disaster.  If it doesn't work,  will the fans criticize Beane like they did Whaley?

    Are we still clinging to this farce that we gave up a "boatload" for Diggs?

     

    That's the first falsehood. The rest is even more nonsense

  3. We only really give up a late first rounder for the major piece that we've been searching for which in turn will make Allen, Smoke, Beasley, Knox, and Singletary better.

     

    They couldn't have done any better, and there will likely be nobody at pick 22 that will be a dominant player...certainly not the caliber of Diggs.

     

    Making the move to contend now is also a factor and I love it. It's definitely time, and it all fits together perfectly.

    I don't know. I dont think he fits Josh's skill set. Diggs is just a better version of John Brown. I would of liked a bigger guy that can go over middle. Diggs is a good deep threat but Josh isn't the best deep ball thrower. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    You are wrong.

     

    Diggs makes tough contested catches all over the field and has some incredible moves after the catch.

     

    He is also very good at plucking the ball out of the air. 

     

    It's a very good fit

    I should be and want to be excited. I think next year's 4th dampened my excitement. Glad to have him opposite Brown. Couple things: heard on ESPN considering what we gave up, Diggs has the upper hand in asking for more money. With the length of is contract, that was signed recently, that shouldn't be a problem. Shouldn't be. Fingers crossed.

    More important, I don't ever want to hear Josh apologize for not getting him the ball enough like Cousins did. This is Josh's team and some of his linemates better have his back and straighten Diggs out. If this happens.

    Ok what's next, Beane?

    A 4th rounder next year dampened your excitement?

     

    Incredible
