Felt like I was forced to like him because he was on the team, even though he always rubbed me the wrong way. Felt like everyone around team constantly walked around on eggs shells around Diggs. Seems to be quick to explode on the smallest of things. Never felt like he truly bought into being apart of the team/Buffalo. Him wanting out and being insubordinate is happening right now. This isn't some made up media rumors. He is not cooperating with the team right now and has pretty much ignored every teammate that has reached out to him since the end of the year. Beane made this mess by trading for this guy. It's like dating the girl who cheated on her partner to have a relationship with you. It's just a matter of time until its you getting cheated on. People don't permanently change, they just mask the real person for a temporary amount of time. Not sure how this ends, but my guess, it gets ugly. I said it when it happened, but what a terrible contract extension Beane gave him. Beane is really looking like a bottom tier GM. Simply...NOT True.

Back2Buff Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 20 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: Good grief. The worst kind of "told you so" post. Diggs was instrumental in Josh Allen becoming Josh Allen. There are plenty of questionable choices made by Beane, but this isn't really one of them. They will work it out. Don't think Diggs is ready to retire and he ain't being traded. It wasn't Diggs or no one. The opportunity cost of Diggs, was Justin Jefferson. Are you telling me that Justin Jefferson wouldn't have been instrumental in Josh Allen's development? Diggs mentally is a different animal. Don't be surprised when it gets ugly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still enjoy a long road trip so I can see the terrain and sights along the way. Similar to enjoying a good Bills season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one did or he wouldn't have lasted until the late first round. Grow up. I'm not sure what his post draft success has anything to do with where he was actually drafted. The Bills traded their first round pick for a WR. They were taking a WR if they kept their pick. Justin Jefferson was the guy available at their pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made an excellent point we can’t afford to trade him, nor why would we? He’s out clear #1 and his dead cap is $37 mil. If we were to trade him. He’s not slowed down, only 29, doesnt turn 30 until late November and signed a four year extension last year. He’ll get over the “I’m not getting the ball thrown to me at the end of the season”. All top level WR’s are divas to a point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying we would have been better with Jefferson? In the 3 seasons Jefferson has been in the league: Diggs has 338 receptions and 29 tds Jefferson 324 receptions and 25 tds Bills record in those 3 seasons: 13-3, 11-6, 13-3 Vikes record in those seasons: 7-9, 8-9, 13-4 You wrote: "I wasnt a fan of Diggs before he got to the Bills.

I'm guessing you never met the man to be "rubbed the wrong way". I'm also going to guess you are not in the locker room or meetings to know about teammates and their thoughts regarding Diggs. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucci Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Andre Reed acted much worse than Diggs...even though Diggs isn't doing anything. Reed and Kelly would argue during games on the bench. Reed complained all the time about not getting the ball enough. Did it before Packers game in '94 and ended up catching 15 passes. You guys needs to relax. 13 minutes ago, DrDawkinstein said: You guys severely underestimate the age of this board, and the age of the folks getting most angry online.

All top level WR’s are divas to a point. Players have all the power. If they want out, they get traded. It's pretty that simple in today's NFL. They don't care what happens with the team. Look at Rodgers, cried about wanting a new deal, gets his deal, now wants out. Going to cost the Packers millions in dead money. Nothing they can do about it. Hill wanted out, traded. AJ Brown wanted out, traded. Wilson wanted out, traded. Adams wanted out, traded. Hopkins wanted out, traded. Watson wanted out, traded. Stafford wanted out, traded.

All of those situations (except maybe Rodgers, don't remember ever hearing him "crying" about a new contract)...all those guys were in seasons where trading them or releasing them wouldn't blow the team salary cap up. People are reading way too much into all of this crap. Word over the weekend was that Stefon Diggs was telling some Marylyand draft prospects how lucky he was to be playing in Buffalo. What is the rush to put words in everyone's mouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
