  1. The quote "Ready for watever" isn't shade or snark though. Seems like it was being anxious to what Beane had up his sleeve since Diggs refused to take a pay cut. I would be anxious if my employer asked me to take a pay cut and I said "No". Especially with an $18.5M guarantee approaching. Diggs shouldn't go anywhere, the Bills will be a better team with him on it. But you have to think Beane doesn't like getting made the fool. Diggs called his bluff and it looks like a toothless gesture out of Beane.
  2. I'm hoping T Franklin is showing enough to the Bills that they can put him in a tier with B Legette and K Coleman and gives them the confidence to be able to move down in the draft if the three of them are there.
  3. For A Mitchell I think it depends on how the interviews went - Mitchell comes across as kind of a prima donna and the FO might not want that. I think the FO may try to have some restraint and stay and see what develops at #28. Legette/K Coleman/T Franklin look like they would meet a need and be great culture fits. If they are all there and the FO has them on the same tier, I think it would make sense to try and trade back some. I don't think Samuel or Hollins impact the strategy as much as keeping Diggs around does. With Diggs still here the FO has the luxury of using 2024 as a slower break-in year for the rookie.
  4. I can understand the moving Diggs if you think it is a re-tool/rebuild year. Then take a big gulp of medicine and get a couple WRs. But I think you are in the minority to want that. Especially when the option is to contend for the title. Diggs/highly drafted rookie/Samuel/Shakir/Kincaid gives us a shot this year! And if the rookie works out, the future would be extremely bright.
  5. A Rodgers was a franchise QB while he was at Green Bay. There were more than just the Jets interested in his services, it was the Jets that were the highest bidders. He got more than Brady on the open market. Point is, it's a team sport. Good QBs can be on non-contenders. The idea of moving Diggs this offseason after moving on from Davis would not be smart. Replace Davis and worry about Diggs next year is just such a smarter strategy. The cap hit is less, and the progression makes more sense. Lets see how our first rookie does before penciling in major minutes for two unknowns.
  6. But it's hard to see the Bills listed as a contender if their starting WRs are penciled in as: WR1 rookie, WR2 - Samuel, WR3- Shakir.
  7. Kind of circular out of you. A HOF QB is a franchise QB. That franchise QB was put in a rebuild type situation with rookie WRs (and no D Adams) - the result was not pretty. This, obviously, is a possibility, and it's up to the FO to make sure it doesn't happen. So lets please stop with the "all you need is Josh" nonsense. It's a team sport. Lets try and remember Josh pre-Diggs.
  8. The 28th spot for the majority of us is being reserved for the Gabe Davis replacement. So with that in mind, how are we going to be better this year if we move Diggs? And I don't remember Brady in a year when the Pats* started two rookie WRs.
  9. On the flip side, the last year at Green Bay, A Rodgers did not make the playoffs- they were rebuilding.
  10. From a Diggs contract perspective, from what we see from spotrac, this is not a good year to move him. And there doesn't have to ever be year of total rebuild with Josh. Draft a WR this year and have him grow and be groomed to take over. Constantly contending should be the plan with a franchise QB like Josh.
  11. C'mon, a penciled in starting WR duo of Samuel and Shakir would have to be in consideration for the worst WR duo in the league. That's unfair to Josh and Bills fans across the nation,.
  12. If there are enough players that you value more-or-less the same, it might be best to try and move down. For instance if X Legette/ K Coleman are rated the same (and even A Mitchell who they may not rate as high as outsiders due to attitude/work ethic/team culture) getting another pick may be worth the small difference in their preference of those players.
  13. If Beane takes the hit on Diggs this year then the Bills as a team will be worse for it this year. They will have another hole to fill.
  14. Pretty small sample size. If Diggs is moved this year we would have to call it a rebuild year with a goal of sneaking into the playoffs.
