eball Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 From this NY Post article linked on front page: The Bills and Vikings eventually agreed on Buffalo sending a first-, fifth- and sixth-round pick in 2020 and a fourth-round pick in 2011 for Diggs and a seventh-rounder. Diggs then ended up agreeing to a five-year extension worth $72 million and $40 million in guaranteed money with the Bills, who made the playoffs after second-place finish in the AFC East last season. Huh? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 There is no reports of a restructuring. The only thing I can think of is the extension Diggs signed in 2018 with the Vikings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 “In Diggs they saw a young, polished receiver who could help their inability to beat press coverage, according to the report.” Maybe the ‘press coverage’ needs to be beaten here. 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? ? Yeah, I believe that’s just poor wording on the part of The Post. If I’m not mistaken, Beane has already said they won’t restructure this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFT Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Hmmm... Not sure where that info was gathered by Zews... There’s been no mention outside of JW’s report of no imminent restructure. I smell a retraction coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yeah, just looked it up. Those are the terms of the extension he signed w/ Minnesota in 2018. Closing thread. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 As of now, as far as I’ve read, he’ll cost around $11.5 mil. This year, and $12 mil. The next three years which is a steal for his quality. Even if he did take $70 mil. For five years, is $14 mil. Which again is lower than the top caliber WR in the league. This is the main reason Hopkins as they paid Watson, and Hopkins was going to want $18 mil. Per year. My guess is if, and is definitely an if Diggs lives up to a superstar, Beane will consider a restructure after next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreezeMafia Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Poor wording in the article. Separately, when we think of how manageable the contract cap hit is for a #1 receiver + the years we have left on the contract, any narrative on how the Bills overpaid is non sense. Giving up the amount of picks for the talent Diggs brings, his fit in the offense plus the as mentioned attractive contract -> well worth the price the Bills paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
