If anybody throws around any head case or "diva" nonsense about Diggs they're completely wrong. People don't like athletes that speak up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 17th best receiver in 2019, 63 receptions, 94 targets 1130 yards, 6 TD's. 67.0 catch percentage. Diggs averaged 17.9 yards per reception which was 4th best.

Bangarang Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Ill just pretend that Diggs was the WR we would have taken at 22. Helps take some of the sting away. The pressure is all on Allen now. He has no excuses 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's a complete no brainer trade. I'm surprised anyone wouldn't like it. We immediately filled our biggest need with a proven game changing player. It isn't just adding Diggs. Brown and Beasley will now also have easier matchups. I couldn't care less about the later round picks. We used our 1st round on a proven talent. Thank you to Brandon Beane for making a move that had to be made. 8 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBills916 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Relax my brother an sister's we have a true number 1 WR who cares about those late picks 5th an 6th rounders when you think about it its only a number 1 pick this year an a 4th rounder next year!!! Trust The Process!! Do I think we gave up a little too much kind of but I love this trade!! Bills Are Built To Win Now!!

Anyone who thinks he is playing on that 4 year 45 mil deal is crazy. They are going to have to renegotiate that. Such an overpay for a number 2. Still no number 1 for Allen to throw to. 6 foot tall receiver, he is Brandin Cooks. Oh well trade the entire draft for Diggs, this will work out well. ? You need a stiff drink. Hopefully, you'll recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobillswin Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I really don't care about heights. A lot of 6'4+ wrs struggle in route running and need to be thrown open. Very tough to find those guys late in the first round too. Usually it's guys like AJ Green and Julio Jones who go very early in the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Even if you do rework his contract I’m sure Beane knows what he wants before he agreed to trade for him. It won’t be Amari Cooper money so it’s not that huge of a deal. They just need to give him some guarantees and it’ll be all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that both trades happened today? How do you not compare them? The better receiver went for way less compensation, especially when you factor that moving Johnson offsets part of Hopkins pay. Yes it does make the Texans look worse than then Bills. And I’m to have Diggs on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Diggs nearly retained his crown as the king of contested catches that he earned in 2017 at a contested catch-rate of … 64.0 percent. Eerily, Diggs brought in 16-of-25 contested targets for the second year in a row. Chalk another one up for “undersized” wideouts playing big. Diggs continues to show that he can win with both his route running and his skills at the catch point, making him one of the more complete wide receivers in the leaguehttps://www.google.com/amp/s/vikingswire.usatoday.com/2019/05/19/stefon-diggs-ranked-as-2nd-best-wr-in-contested-catches-in-2018/amp/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Well that certainly makes things interesting! Whole offense coming back, except a major upgrade at WR1. Pick up a solid vet RB behind Singletary, and hopefully Knox develops the way we hope he does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonMan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The Bills can sell tickets to practice just so people can watch Diggs go one-on-one with Tre White. Both of these guys are going to be getting better every day with that type of competition. Scary thought...if you have to play the Bills this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
