First Round Bust Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) some off-day fodder to keep the barnyard animals fed from todays BN: Diggs is close to making a sizeable bonus for 100 catches - needs 6 - adds $$ to both remaining years of contract - extension candy date 4 sir.... Diggs is six receptions away from reaching 100 for the season. Besides being an attractive number, hitting the 100 threshold would mean bonus money for the Buffalo Bills star receiver. Diggs would get a $750,000 bonus added to his base salary for 2022 and an additional $800,000 added to his base pay for 2023 if he gets to 100 catches. That would follow the increases to his 2021, '22 and '23 salaries that he earned last season for exceeding 100 catches and 1,375 receiving yards. Diggs ranks 11th in the NFL in receptions with 94, and he’s eighth in receiving yards with 1,144. He’s tied for seventh in touchdown catches with nine. The 28-year-old has two years left on his contract after this season. His base salary is scheduled to be $11.7 million in 2022, not counting the 100-catch incentive, according to the sports financial website Spotrac.com. He will count $17.5 million against the salary cap in 2022, or $18.27 million if he hits 100 catches. In other words, Diggs’ cap hit is very large regardless of whether he gets six catches Sunday. The size of his cap hit in 2023 is $17.2 million. Those figures, plus the fact the Bills will be relatively tight against the cap in 2022, make Diggs a candidate for a contract extension before the start of next season. That would allow the Bills to give Diggs more cash the next several years but also lower his base salaries and significantly lower his cap hit for 2022. The Bills currently have the seventh least amount of space for 2022, at $9 million, according to Spotrac. The Bills already restructured Diggs’ contract once, in July, converting base salary into bonus money and creating $8 million in cap space for 2021, when almost every team was facing a cap crunch. Diggs' base salary for this season is $990,000. Diggs led the NFL in 2020 in both catches (127) and yards (1,535). His yardage total this year already is the second best of his seven-year career. His catch total is third best. He had 102 catches in 2018 for Minnesota. Edited January 4, 2022 by First Round Bust 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Diggs happy and paid. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Don’t McDermott and Dabol have Josh throw the ball to him until he gets 6 catches? That’s what I would do, team would love this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Remember when marrone purposely stopped throwing to Watkins his rookie year so he didn’t get to 1000 yards because he wanted to make the pick look bad to reflect poorly on Whaley? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a number of ex Bills execs and coaches that if I heard they fell into the cardboard compactor, I would be tempted to hit the 'ON' switch. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uninja Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 2 minutes ago, BuffaloBillies said: Do playoff games count toward the 100? No, pretty sure those stats are usually regular season only and do not count postseason. If I was Diggs, Allen and the Bills I'd draw up a handful of plays where Diggs is the outlet/lay-up and just get him his 6 receptions. I mean last year we were playing for Beasley to get his 1k (came up just short) and were also just messing around in some games late in the season trying to break the record for number of players to catch a TD pass from Allen in one season.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I wouldn't sign Diggs to an extension that pays him big money after 2023. Two more years of big money seems about right. He'll be 30 then. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep draw up two Jets sweeps where he flips him the ball. Then go get 4 more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it's based on the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
