Not sure Josh is ready to handle a diva receiver at this point in his career. Sad but true.....would give Marcia his #1 wideout and all the Cheatriots would need is a TE and BINGO......yet another SB for the cheaters.....

Gambit Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 How anyone can so no to trading a 2nd for Diggs is laughable. He's a fantastic receiver on a pretty solid deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs just doesn't seem interested in contact while Thielen welcomes it. I've seen Diggs not try often if a ball doesn't drop right into his hands while Thielen would be the dude who would dive full speed just for a chance at a catch anytime. Doesn't make many contested catches... Thielen is just selfless while Diggs seems to be going Diva Selfish route which is a shame. None of this is accurate. Like not even close. He plays big. Diggs is worth a first. He’s a top 10 guy imo. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 2 hours ago, whatdrought said: I don’t hate the idea, but there’s a lot of red flags. - why is a team wanting to give up its best weapon? - what differentiates him from other diva receivers we’ve seen moved lately? (Moves that at the time seemed like no-brainers for the buyers, but turned out to be huge wins for the sellers) - is he going to want more money? If so, how much? - is it better to trade commodities and pay him as opposed to getting someone in this loaded draft class? Trade for Diggs and draft a WR. We need to overload on offensive talent. Then watch your young QB develop. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make many contested catches... Thielen is just selfless while Diggs seems to be going Diva Selfish route which is a shame. You’re using play style to create arbitrary distinctions. Thielen is an X receiver who is asked to be big on the boundary, fight one on one with DB’s, and do more things that lend itself to contact. Diggs is more Z receiver, which moves him around, plays off the LOS and runs more deep routes which preclude jump balls. Furthermore, while Thielen is fighting through guys, Diggs is often times running by them. And, If you go look at highlights from this year (which I just did) you’ll see a huge number of examples where Diggs fights for extra yardage, taking on multiple defenders after the catch. I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that Diggs is not tough. He is a diva, that’s true, but he also has had to fight to make it in the NFL as a 7th round pick. As I said- I have nothing wrong with Thielen, love the guy. With the only exception being some of his attitude concerns, I think most informed people would consider Diggs a better receiver. It’s not a huge gap when they’re both healthy, and they’ve been very lucky to play off each other, but Diggs is more talented.

Rc2catch Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 This was the scenario I’ve been dreaming of for the offseason. Buffalo has to make this move if it’s available. Game changing elite talent. Diggs fits this offense perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I know this is a very crazy thought but imagine this. We trade a 2nd and maybe another later rnd pick for Diggs. Then sign 1 of Hooper or Hunter Henry. Use our 1st on the best DE that falls to us. I feel like our biggest issue would be RT then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1) Beane is a master of negotiation and value. Diggs was drafted in the 6th round...no way he offers a second round pick. He’ll offer two 7th rounders. 2) There is no way in hell Diggs wears #14 here in Buffalo. That‘s Sammy’s number!!! .....should have been retired when he left. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be at least for a 1st round pick. 2.) The #14 will always be Frank Reich's number. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be all in on Diggs... Pick 54 won’t get it done though.. What about giving them 22 and getting 89 back from them in change? At least that puts us ahead of the bottom feeders at the top of the 2nd like Bengals and Dolphins.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's angry with the Vikings because they are now a run heavy offense and they don't throw him the ball enough. How exactly would coming here solve that problem for him? We’re not really a run heavy offense anymore. At least daboll has shown this isn’t his only approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) Normally I just click on these threads to shake my head and get a chuckle out of a fan base that seemingly wants every single player out there...but Diggs, on that current contract, for a 2nd? Seems way too good to be true. Click-bait? Edited February 19, 2020 by QCity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
