Low Positive

I like Wilson more. I'm not sure that I want a guy that is demanding a trade form a team that was a play or two away from winning a Lombardi.

I think Garret Wilson needs to be on that list too.

That's just a handful of people on here. It's all for the same reason, which can be found in this revealing thread from the past:

How do you feel about Michigan State guys? Because that’s where Coleman was until their coaching situation hit the fan.

Beane has to be careful. I remember in 2018 we had posters on TBD that pounded the table for Roquon Smith at 12 and Mason Rudolph in the second because of “value.” Screw value. Get your guy.

No Boogie? No dice!

Worthy is going to KC at 32 and this board will melt down.

That tie between Brady and Franklin makes sense. It's already pretty obvious that he told Beane to get him Samuel. I just think that its a risk to draft for an OC who might not be here in a year. He was a consensus first-rounder until he tested poorly at the combine. But he had the flu or something. That might work in the Bills favor.

He may be a party animal, but does a beach in sight and a cold Bud Light put him in a party frenzy like the original party animal?

Just because I feel like throwing gas on the 🔥, here is a video of Joe Burrow and teammates working out in Cincinnati.

I keep typing things out in this thread and then erasing them. I guess I'm just an Internet wuss.

Yep, and by the same logic, two-time Super Bowl champion Kadarius Toney is the ultimate winner.

Not really unexpected. The Bills lost two OL this off-season. They need depth.

We had totality on a clear day here in Ohio. It was wild.

I work at a university in the path and all the students are out on the quads and people drive from miles around. We got lucky with the weather too.

The problem is that between Beckham and Adams, you had Brandon Cooks, Kelvin Benjamin, Marqise Lee, Jordan Mathews, and Paul Richardson. Outside of the top guys, you really never know and even there will be busts.

They need off-season content. This is one of the two dead periods in the NFL schedule, so they are reaching just to fill up the air time.

"In the deal, the Vikings acquired the No. 23 overall pick in the first round and the No. 232 selection (seventh round). The Texans get No. 42 overall (second round), No. 188 (sixth round), and a second-round pick in 2025, per Rapoport and Pelissero." https://www.nfl.com/news/vikings-texans-trade-first-round-pick-2024-nfl-draft

If you want to have these kinds of players, you have to deal with these kinds of egos. As Larry Bird used to say, "can't have a team full of milk drinkers."

Has it been stated that this was alcohol? Because driving while intoxicated could also be weed, and that makes a lot more sense for an afternoon arrest. Judging from the aroma coming from cars at stoplights in Cincinnati, a significant portion of the population drives around smoking weed all day every day.

It worked out well for all parties, except for the only one that I actually care about. It never should have come to this.

I'm sure that it went something like this Diggs contacts Beane in February after the Pro Bowl to demand a trade Beane tells him to pound sand, due to dead cap Diggs says that he won't show up until training camp and that he won't be a happy camper Beane tells Diggs and his agent to seek a trade (teams do this all the time), but not to KC Diggs' agent only contacts Houston, because that's the point of all of this Beane doesn't like the picks being offered to him, so the Texans go and make that head-scratcher of a deal with Minnesota to get that 2025 second. This was on March 15th, two days before Diggs contract became fully guaranteed. That's why Diggs was tweeting the whole "I'm waiting" schtick on the 17th. He knew that the trade was in place and wanted Beane to pull the trigger Beane didn't do it then because he wanted a second this year. He calls around, but other teams are not interested in a disgruntled WR. So two weeks later, he gives in. That's why he looked "defeated" in that press conference. That's why he felt the need to remind everyone that he's "competitive." He let a situation get out of hand and he lost. I had a whole lot more here, but I don't want to start the flame war by criticizing Josh Allen on TBD. But both Josh and Beane look weak right now, and it's only going to get worse as Diggs starts tweeting again. The QB has to be the biggest ego on the team, and I'm not sure that we have that.

For an example a little closer to home for us, think about the Hasek trade saga. He (and his agent) made it clear that he wouldn't show up anywhere else but Detroit. I'm sure Diggs' agent was doing exactly that behind the scenes.

The more that I think about this, the more that I'm sure that we all got played. This clearly was an NBA-style player-originated move hatched at the Pro Bowl. Mixon, Stroud, and Diggs all worked behind the scenes to make this happen. I'm not sure how Diggs forced Beane to trade him where he wanted to go, but I'm sure he threatened to not show up unless it was Dallas or Houston. That's what NBA players do.

I swear to god that this guy has posted in this thread 'Drinking_And_Driving_Can_Mix'.pdf
