colin Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 sometimes a trade helps both teams, sometimes a trade hurts both teams. you can argue about who it helped more, but then you having timing involved as well, so maybe it helps the bills more for the first 3 or 4 years and minni more after that, but then you have to evaluate how to discount future vs present day wins, and at the end of the day you really just want to win a chip, so it gets goofy cuz you'd rather win it all this year and stink for a few than be good for like 5 years and win nothing. i can't think of a wr i'd rather have on the bills than diggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a winner there must also be a loser. 1. How does the Vikings cap space have anything to do with the Bills? 2. Locker room presence is a product of team camaraderie. Winning makes players great team locker room guys. Losing? Not so much. Diggs looked quite happy last season. 3. Easy to say after the season is over that Jefferson has the goods. Had they drafted a bust the tune would be different. It worked out for both teams but considering the Vikings were 7-9 and a playoff no show and the Bills were 13-3 and a game away from SB. Well,.....you get the picture of which team did the winning😎 Edited July 15, 2021 by billsbackto81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Agree with this ranking. Ask me after the season and DK Metcalf may move into the top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow they have some crazy writers in Minny.....not that Blo doesn't have some winners too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like 3 positive returns on the Diggs trade, or 3 things that worked out well enough for the Vikings, but 3 reasons they "won" the trade? Clearing up cap space doesn't mean you beat out the Bills in the trade... Getting a solid replacement WR doesn't mean you beat the production the Bills got out of Diggs, getting rid of someone who doesn't want to be there doesn't mean the Bills lost the trade by getting someone who DOES want to be in Buffalo... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he should have written was the trade was excellent for both sides. I would agree with that one. We received exactly what we needed in Diggs. No need to explain that one. The Vikings given Jefferson’s performance received what they needed not only on cap relief, draft pics, and overall health for their team. Their feelings on Diggs is ridiculous as they don’t want to accept they never handled him well. He should’ve been the key WR as the clear #1, not Thielen and was proven last year. I really don’t know what these MN guys have in terms of just simply MN won and Buffalo won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can take the step into the top 2 after this season, but he belongs right where he is imo. Yeah. We all love Diggs, but could you imagine Hopkins in this offense? Between him and Beasley, could go a whole year without a dropped pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I wouldnt have said before last year. Although this looks like a fantasy ranking, if it is i do agree, just cause ARZ has less weapons than we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Personally I don’t care about the rankings I just find it funny how a supposed totally in accurate bottom of the NFL quarterback is making a wide receiver who was a second option with his former team the third best wide receiver in the league Maybe… Just maybe people had it wrong on both of them?

Followed by Hill then Deandre We’ll, being that he lead the league in receptions and yards you do have a valid point…, evidently that doesn’t hold much water to some pundits out there… Go Bills!!!

I couldn’t agree more and I guess I was trying to give them a little break. We definitely made out, but so did they just not now and not as much. The author may be right later in two years if the talent and capital is used well. The issue is can Zimmer pull all of this stuff together in time to save his job and his staff as otherwise it’s a mess that will start all over again. Well written Don. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Diggs for pick #22 or whatever it was, and by the grace of God Philly picked Jalen Reagor at 21. It’s a bit revisionist for MN to look back and say “Oh, that’s ok we can just plug Jefferson in for Diggs, let’s make the trade. “ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
