I'm not saying it's smart. I agree I wouldn't take the pay cut especially to go to a worse team like Dallas. I'm just pointing out, given what Diggs has said about playing with his Bros in the past, a reason he may have done this.
They go into WR draft prospects in this, after initially talking about the Diggs trade. Cosell has some good takes on both the trade & WR draft prospects.
There has to be a Huge back story we don't know about. The compensation seems like Beane wanted to be rid of him & his cap hit. Either Diggs really wanted out & it was worse than we know (like his production went down bc he quit) OR Beane thinks he's cooked & not worth the $. I'm sure there could be other options too. It seems like a sudden rash trade.
