Ghost_002!

He is not getting paid a bunch of money. That contract is full with a bunch of Incentives and as of right now. He can be cut at anytime for any knee related issues.

The Diggs deal is 16 mill a year he could make 22 mill if he hits all his incentives...so no, the Pats didn't get fleeced.

It's sarcasm...I have been posting here for years. I am cool with enough fans on here so the others I could care less about

You truly don't read my posts just assume. I acknowledge I got the injury wrong when bring him up. I was talking about him returning to the field, recovery. That was the point I was trying to making. Wrong injury so I can't use him. I didn't say anything else about Rodgers and I never said Diggs now make the Pats a contender...you don't read my post you just assume and go with it. Try reading what is said it will help out and stop assuming And I am looking for this "list" of all the things I got wrong and all you did was bring up Rodgers injury. Ha ha do better

Damn..look at me getting something incorrect If I could only be like you two batting 1000.

Word? Please enlightening me with this list of things I get wrong??

Boy you seem really butt hurt about going back in forth with me, huh. I know your type so i just left you alone but since you want the attention. i was wrong about what his injury was. I know you were waiting for that, so have your victory lap now, you won the internet for the day. (slow clap by me) what i was referring to when talking about his "success" was his RETURN TO THE FIELD...He was able to come back and start the next season with his team..i was not talking about pro bowls, or playoff birth or great stats when referring to Aaron Rodgers return.. so you got your choc chip cookie what else you got that you trying so hard to hold over my head just because i dare have a different opinion than you?

Rodgers couldn't take the Jets to the playoffs with a good defense, Garrett Wilson and D. Adams...so now he is supposedly going to Pittsburgh and make them a contender??? Plus i don't think Rodgers has signed anywhere yet... and I can break down the whole Pats situation to you. The Pats come out and made a statement to justified why they didn't sign Metcalf the fans, and Boston media weren't buying it and gave them crap for it. When Diggs came and left, fans and Boston media continue to give them crap for letting Diggs walk. They have been given the Pats crap for not addressing the offense like they did the defense and calling them cheap....a week later you have the Diggs signing.. There you go.

Metcalf didn't sign with the Pats because they weren't willing to pay him. He signed with Pittsburgh and they didn't have a QB at the time. If you trying to play for a contender and in a warm weather place as he said, then why would you sign with a team that didn't even have a QB and in Pittsburgh? Had the Pats paid him 30 mill, he would be in NE right now...hence the point i was making earlier that some of these athletes talk out their ass and if you just show them "the bag" they will definitely come. And the Pats could possibly make the playoffs this year. Not one person not a commanders fan, expected them to be this good this fast, especially with a rookie QB no less. They went from being laughed at to a contender in just one year. As Herm Edwards would say "that's why you play the game.."

*^^I can't handle a sports debate with other fans*

Oh boy! It's called a debate. You have a discussion with people who have different point of views..that's what having a debate is. You have a problem with me cause I am not agreeing with you. From the get go i already said this was a risk...I don't need to go back to anything I already said...it's right there for you to comprehend or choose not to comprehend It's not a me problem it's a you problem cause you are having the same discussion with other posters who don't shared the same point of view as well. Wow

Maybe I did.. but my statement and point was. Metcalf and Diggs both said one thing and did something else, which alot of athletes do all the time You came with your post about how their situations were different, they weren't. They both said they wanted to play for a contender and they both signed with teams who were willing to pay them more.

He is 2 years younger. And Aaron Rodgers came back from his ACL. He claimed he was ready to come back the same season he was injured

I was not talking in absolute when talkin about athletes and their money. I was making a point to why he went with the pats.. Ok..maybe I'm confused with what you are saying..but show me where I have ever said digg went from the bills to the pats??? Please...please show me where I said he left Buffalo because of money, are you reading anything I said??

Wait isn't Chris Godwin coming back from the same injury and just got resigned with the Bucs.

I am sure they know they have holes at the Oline..this is a way better coaching staff than last year. They do have the draft to address those Oline issues especially having the number 4 pick. They can pick at No.4 or trade out the pick, pick up more picks and address the Oline holes.

That's what I was thinking too, but I didn't want to bring it up.

Come on man..how long you watch sports... Sure there are athletes that aren't all about the money but don't act like there aren't plenty that don't try to get as much as possible. Or there aren't any who say one thing to the media and do something else. Metcalf like Diggs said they wanted to play for a contender....both aren't on a contending team...they signed with teams that paid them more money... I NEVER SAID Diggs left Buffalo because of the money. He left Buffalo because he was being a pain, I said that. he signed with the pats because they paid him more than any other team was willing to pay him right now. I also said of he cared about playing with a contender he would of cont. To "play nice" and stay in Buffalo

How am I down playing his injury?? I said this could work it or it couldn't? I gave you two different athletes who have come back from that injury. To sit there and say "absolutely" Diggs is done or to act like he is , would be an incorrect statement given again what other athletes have done coming back. It's possible he can be fine and give the pats what they want from him. It's the other side of the coin. Which there aways one..on top of the fact as I said, it's a risk and also couldn't work? Who cares how exactly he was productive, he was productive If you are a NFL franchise you want production, right? So he gave it to you, yes at 31 it is/was going to be diff from how he played in Buffalo and in Minnesota again something i said and acknowledged. In the pats case, what they need him to do is far diff then what a team like the Bills would be looking for at this stage

I can say...it's gonna finally be fun again to watch the Bills vs Pats win or lose Allen v Maye Diggs v your defense(hopefully) Your offense v Pats Defense... Get to watch it twice and I don't have to go back to working on that "honey to do list" again.

He is an athlete. No money is never enough. Regardless. He left the bills cause that's what he does..wears out his welcome aka "a diva" wide receiver If you honestly sit there and think most of these athletes won't take money over "I want to play for a SB contender" I got some land I would like to sell you. These athletes and teams weight out all their options and go with the best one all the time. If he truly cared about winning a SB he would of cont. To "play nice" in Buffalo, clearly that wasn't the case. No athlete is ever gonna refuse more $. And I know about the sarcasm...lol I just seen the statement made here a few times. Ha ha

I said flirt w a playoff birth. And they beat the Bengals last year with that horrible roster they had, the defense should be better. Better coaching staff and a weaker schedule...plus there will be definitely some "any given sunday" win(s) somewhere on their schedule.. So it's possible. Gotta look at the guarantee money. That's all that matters. He won't be seeing that whole contract.

I keep seeing this... Money talks. Metcalf said the samething.. we shouldn't be surprised by this as fans...they have a small window to be rich, so why wouldn't they go where the money Is at. We would too. Of course it's a risk, just as it would be for any team signing him..or when you guys had Von Miller, or picking up Aaron Rodgers. The pats have the money to burn, he doesn't work out then it gives them another year to get a wr and show other free agency's they can come to NE. I mean these type of player accusations happen all the time

I don't know what the workout was...and either do you. I would expect an legit NFL franchise was not just do a "half ass" physical and workout and then say "OK, let's pay him" That's dumb and how you lose a job. They did let him leave NE so he didn't sign right away and today for these athletes they can come back pretty quick from an ACL. See Aaron Rodgers and Tua Do you realize he was in Houston last year and they loved him there? He is a drama queen that's been documented. But hence the length of his contract and he is not there to "put them over the SB" hump.

As I already stated, this may not work out. Secondly anyone paying attention already knows even before the injury he wasn't what he was in Buffalo and Minnesota. I know the affects an ACL injury can have on an athlete, especially one now being 31. Again he was still on pace in Houston for 1000 yards before the injury...I'm pretty sure after "x" amount of years at an elite level you will decline unless your Brady. 3rd yes every year teams "kick" the tires or pass on a players, and? Russell Wilson for some reason is still getting jobs. Plus for a team like tge Pats who has ish for a receiver room this is a bit of an upgrade. Injury or not
