Okay! Actual definitive, factual, confirmation of what a tweet is about. There's one where speculation is dead. The stats tweet was directly a response to all the people claiming he's toast. That's it. Not only that, but humility and accountability for the drop. Which is something people have been wanting.

One rumor that he is pushing that is incorrect (as is CBS) is the hr changed his profile picture when that was always his profile picture. Side note (not pertaining to you): The irony of people who are "tired of having to see Diggs' tweets" telling people they can just choose not to read this thread and ignore it is hilarious to me.

That's false, actually. That's been his twitter header for a long time now. I can't go back in time and take a snapshot, but I remember reading that and thinking "huh, he's had that forever". I think it's fairly obvious that's him responding to everyone who said he's fell off.

My stance isn't that it's impossible that Diggs hasn't taken a step back and there's no scenario where he isn't a monster this year. It's that the time to do it, if we do isn't THIS offseason. Give him this season as part of a much improved offensive weapon core and see if that revives him. We're having to pay exponentially for him anyways. I see it just as likely that having him pays dividends for us than it is he doesn't. I'd much rather have Diggs, a Round 1 Rookie, and Samuel then that alternative. If it doesn't work, you move on from him next season when it's a better time to do so. Both financially and from a stance of Josh having a year with the new core and the Rookie having experience.

So then say that's what it's about. You want him gone bc you personally think he's fell off. That's what gets me about this thread. Everyone makes things like these tweets definitive factual proof he wants out or he's a problem. Not because they're known facts. Because that's what they WANT it to be. And to the "falling off" end, it's also funny to me how every season we say "Josh needs help, we can't expect to win with just Diggs". But then when it doesn't happen and the season ends it's "Diggs didn't do enough". This last season was the worst in terms of help on the other side of Diggs. Davis was non-existent, even when he was on the field. He got no help in terms of taking the coverage attention away down the stretch, beyond the middle of the field. Yes, the drop was bad. But there's tangible things that can be pointed to in terms of why there was a fall off down the stretch. Now we're finally setting up a situation where we'll have a core of WR's that will demand more attention from Coordinators and we don't even want to see if Diggs can take advantage of it.

If I've learned anything from this thread it's that this fanbase cannot handle WR's who demand the publics attention and have a different personality than your standard football robot. You'd think we were dealing with prime Terrell Owens or Keyshawn Johnson the way Bills fans act towards Diggs. I wonder if Vikings fans are begging for Justin Jefferson to go lately with some of the things he's said? It's embarrassing to me to look at the tweet replies and see fanbases from every other team in the league BEGGING for him to be on their team and then see our fans calling him a cancer bc he's tweeted out innocuous random things like "Well..." that could mean LITERALLY anything.

I don't see signing a third vet WR. It's on to the Draft now there. Only way I see a third vet is if the Draft board falls terribly and they don't see value where we're picking in Round 1 or Round 2. Which with the depth of the class is pretty unlikely. And even then, it would be after the Draft, when I imagine Mike Williams will be no longer available.

I bet he's at a point where he's like "let's see if people are so crazy, I can have them making assumptions by posting a single word".

He posted a ♥️ before posting the oh so controversial "ready for watever" tweet. Posting a heart in conjunction with that would be a funny way of saying he didn't like the move, if that's what you're reading into it. Again. "ready for watever" can mean literally anything. It can even be a positive thing. He can be looking at the addition of Samuel and the upcoming season and saying he's ready for whatever anyone throws at us. Or he could be going out on the town somewhere for the night and saying he's "ready for watever". Pretty sure CBS is wrong about his changing his background too. I feel like I've been looking at that one for a while now. It's much ado about nothing. Sunday at 4PM, we're handing him a check for 18.5m. No way we're doing that (capped or uncapped) for the privilege of him not working for it. So if something is to happen, which I find extremely unlikely, we'll know very soon.

I totally agree. The juxtaposition between this and then this... ... is jarring.

This one did not go well when it came to DT. Everytime I was on the clock, the value for DT absolutely wasn't there. And I'd never take Nubin fist. But the rankings they have on PFN at WR are so broken, it's better to address Safety first.

I'd recommend watching the entire interview and not just what's taken out of context:

I'll even take it a step further.... Hearing what he wants to hear to push the narrative he needs to be traded - because he wants a scenario where we have the ability to Draft 2 WR's this year instead of 1. That's the real motivation. And for others, it's because he dropped the ball in KC. Or they just don't like his personality. That's the real issue. They're motivated for it to mean he doesn't want to be here because they want him gone.

When? You literally just rehashed an old interview with one part taken out of context. In THAT VERY interview, he called Josh his brother and said he doesn't want to leave. "Sometimes when there's smoke there's fire"? He was not talking about whether or not he wants to be here. He was talking about it from the perspective of Beane possibly choosing to trade him. Which Beane then addressed at the Combine saying he doesn't. I'm looking at what's ACTUALLY said. You're hearing what you want to hear to push a narrative.

Because of exactly what you and opinion pieces like CBS are doing! He sees the nonsense. He sees people saying "oh, maybe Beane wants to trade him". He chose to shut it down.

The difference is - he wasn't even asked about Stefon Diggs. He didn't have to even bring him or "the situation" up. He said that completely unprompted. He went out of his way to say "he's going to be here and we're happy to have him". Literally EVERYTHING is taken out of context to push a narrative. They're called "cryptic comments" for a reason. These aren't concrete statements. These are opinions pushed as fact.

And here was Beane talking to Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah after that during the Combine Broadcast:

I don't think they can get higher than 5. 1-3 seem locked in on QB to me. Going to be really hard to convince Arizona to pass on Marvin Harrison Jr. and they have 2 picks in Round 1 already. Sure, they could have 3. But at the cost of MHJ (as well as Nabers and most likely Odunze)? I doubt it. So I think they're looking at 5 as their ceiling, having to grab QB4. Probably 11, 23, and 108 for 5 and 37.

Posting a random tweet that could mean anything is giving the Bills a middle finger? Fact is - young players across the NFL post random, weird stuff all the time. Take Rasul Douglas for example. Ever looked at his Twitter? The difference between Diggs and other people is he's a Superstar. Your run of the mill NFL player posts something random - no one cares. Mega star Diggs tweets something and everyone loses their minds and the media runs nuts with it.

I'm not against Simmons. Certainly wouldn't be "spiting me" to bring him in. I just think he's going to be a Calvin Ridley type situation for the Safety position, wherein his number is significantly more than others (save for, maybe, Xavier McKinney). It wouldn't shock me at all if he got more than what Arik Armstead got. And I've heard him talked about with a number of teams who have a lot of money still.

Unless there's a Beane After Dark - looking like today is the first day since Tampering opened where we don't do anything. Monday - Re-signs AJ Epenesa, Daquan Jones, and Cam Lewis Tuesday - Signs Nicholas Morrow Wednesday - Signs Mack Hollins Thursday - Signs Curtis Samuel, Re-Signs Ty Johnson

And Blackmon's also more of a Strong Safety than a Free Safety. My feeling is that Taylor Rapp is pegged for Strong. Guys like Justin Simmons and Qandre Diggs feel a little older than I feel like we're looking at (and Simmons is going to be super expensive). I feel like we're getting into slim pickens department at Safety. Maybe an Ashtyn Davis or a Mike Edwards? Starting to feel more and more like a Round 2 scenario with a lesser known vet FA.

Yeah, Hollins is a different kind of cat. He went viral for walking around town barefoot. I enjoyed watching his interview. Definitely an interesting personality.
