Well, if that's the case I take back a lot of my negative reaction to this. I'm not a fan of the "watever" comment but it was the supposedly recent Twitter bio change to the wave goodbye that was the last straw. So I apologize and the media has done a shameful job here with reporting false statements.

I'm going off of recent (last day or so) media reports that Diggs changed his Twitter bio pic to the wave goodbye. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-stefon-diggs-gives-another-indication-he-wants-out-of-buffalo-with-cryptic-post/ "To make things even more interesting, Diggs changed his Twitter bio to a picture of him waving goodbye -- which could indicate his last time playing for the Bills. Diggs." https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/stefon_diggs_posts_cryptic_tweet_hinting_at_bills_exit/s1_17150_40116012 "Diggs recently took to his X account to post “ready for watever” while also changing his bio to a photo of him waving. Goodbye to the Bills, perhaps?" https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/03/16/stefon-diggs-trade-rumors-ready-for-whatever/ "In his latest posts, Stefon Diggs hinted at his desire for a trade by tweeting out “ready for whatever” and changing his Twitter header to what appears to be him waving goodbye to Buffalo. This could all just be a cry for attention, but there are some on-field reasons to believe this could be the end of the road." IF this has been up for months, since the games were being played, then I take back what I said and I was wrong. And if so shame on the CBS, and other news outlets for reporting something that is months old as a recent development. I don't follow Twitter and can't speak to the recency of the wave goodbye twitter bio pic. My interpretation is that he posted the wave goodbye pic in the past but only recently changed his bio pic to this. IF this is the pic he only recently updated for a bio pic, then that is 100% an intentional statement/trolling by Diggs. And it's 100% unneeded and counter-productive to the BIlls as a team. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I'm hoping, maybe after Diggs leaves, whenever that is, that Josh steps up his leadership that way. I remember when Peyton Manning had his leadership in the lockerroom questioned ("Stupid kicker")... He later stepped it up.

In spite of all the BS (IMHO) he causes with his messages and waving goodbye in a Bills uni Twitter bio pic (what a juvenile thing to do) I think it's a huge gamble to think a rookie and Samuels can be our top two WRs this year... So I think he plays one more year and is gone. But who knows. I just wish he'd shut up and focus on doing what team leaders should do.

But @Mango brings up the point, I think, that don't just look at dead cap, look at the NET savings of dead cap vs paying his salary. And I think Mango says that cutting him saves us NET $5 million next year but if we roll over the $19 million in 2024 savings to 2025, that NET savings then is $24 million with Diggs off the roster ($5 million net in 2025 + the rollover of $!9 million savings from 2024 to 2025). So we would have an extra $24 million next year if he's gone. Mango, did I get that right?

Hey Mango, my brain hurts doing the math (or is it the hangover?)... Are you suggesting we roll over the cap savings to 2025 if we cut him June 1? If so, what does that mean for 2024? Do we have to eat dead cap this year? If so, I don't think we have the room to do so without some massive restructures, which many don't want. So how does that work?

Yes, I just sat down and watched all 9 minutes and 59 seconds and I don't change my mind. Stephon talked a lot about himself. How he wants to be in moves. And launch a fashion line. No talk of winning championships, though. He said "where's there's smoke there's fire" implying trade rumors are the result of the team wanting to trade him. He said people get more upset with him when he's quiet. What a bunch of $*** He says he's ready for whatever happens. So what am I supposed to see "in context"? I'd love to see hear him say this — and then stop f****** tweeting: "I love being a Bill and if i had my way I'd retire a Bill. I have no interest in going to any other team. I want to win a Super Bowl with the BIlls. That would be the pinnacle of my career." Full stop.

Ok, I've had a few drinks, I've watched the video on the last page with Kay Adams, and I have to say this: F*** his game playing. F*** him. I'm tired of him purposely seeking out attention and suggesting he wants to leave. Once or twice is acceptable but this is a god***m pattern and he's doing it purposely. I'm tired of it. Really. Go. Go play for a lesser team while your skills are declining and take your stupid social posts with you. I'd love to win our Super Bowl without him.

A post-June 1 trade or release saves $19 million in 2024 according to Spotrac, but hits us in 2025: 2024 Dead Cap: $8,849,000 2024 Cap Savings: $19,005,000 2025 Dead Cap: $22,247,000

Nope. I don't see how we can trade him now the. We're $2 million over, Diggs would account for $31 million dead cap and we still need money for other vets and the rookies. I think there's smoke but no fire.

Can Diggs be traded now but have the deal for post-June 1, meaning could we get any picks now but have it count as a post-June 1 trade for the dead cap? If not, there's no way at all we can absorb that dead cap prior to June 1, is there?

I find this all both funny and sad. Irritating and intriguing. If he's not gone, just shut the hell up on social, at least with posts of him in a Bills uni. If he's gone, I don't care and might welcome the change.

Sorry, I'm not reading this properly and a bit confused... (it doesn't take much)

If a couple weeks ago you asked a lot of us if we'd be good with Beane getting us cap compliant and resigning Jones and getting Samuel and losing Morse and Poyer I think many would've taken it. I would have.

Concerned about safeties the most, and maybe center, but if we get a legit future #1 WR in the draft and maybe a DE that can contribute, IF we stay healthy I think we can equal or better last regular season.

Stef might be gone in 2025, and if he isn't there's no way he's still a number one for two more seasons. We need cheap but highly skilled labour at the position and as much as I like the Samuel signing he won't be the number 1 in two years.

It would be nice to see a Digg's tweet about the Samuel signing... Hell, I'll settle for Stephon's brother making a tweet about the Samuel's signing.

Given our WR and DE situation and our cap I'm not sure paying top bucks for a rotational DT behind Oliver and Jones makes sense.

If you're ever... 1. Drunk 2. Nervous 3. Old You may have experienced ED.

Both generational quarterbacks. I'd say Josh is the better athlete but Patrick has superior processing skills and judgment. Many here probably don't agree and might even hate that. That said, I like Josh better as MY quarterback and when we win a Super Bowl it will be sweeter for me and every Bills fan than any KC championship ever was for their players or fans.

Jones will still be 33 years old at the end of the 2025 regular season. I don't think his age is a big deal for a two-year deal.

So much for the dream of getting him for $4 million.

Good signing. Not sure about the numbers, but glad he's back. For those concerned about his injuries, his big injury in 2023 was a pec injury, right? I don't see that as a recurring injury or a worry.

Wow, I thought in 2024 NFL good but far from great RBs didn't get those bucks.

He dropped the pen before signing his last name. It fell down a vent so celebrations need to wait.
