bills seem to have around 22 mill give or take a mill after this…they can always do Dion and get close to 30 mill…since they only need 2.7 mill for their rookie class they honestly could be looking at doing a few things but who knows 

Agree on the #s and options.

 

We'd have money for a scenario such as:

1. Wagner or David at LB

2. Elemuenor at RT

3. Williams at RB

4. then a depth player

 

That would leave the draft open for WR, TE, S, and IOL (in no particular order).

Seems odd to do with a player who is disowning the Bills to go become member of Jerry Jones flock as some are claiming.


Bills are absorbing more of the cost to make him easier to trade?

 

 

Its doubtful Josh Allen would let that happen IMO.

I've been thinking OBJ all along because its something Von Miller wants. Takes care of upgrading 2WR. Helps Josh Allen and now Diggs can also benefit with OBJ on the field. Diggs wants a Championship at all cost.

 

Whatever is in the works, I love what these guys are doing to help the team.


the restructure is generally in their benefit, not a selfless team first act

Given that he’s the second best player on the team (given that Miller is injured), him remaining on the Bills is a good thing.

I don’t disagree, I’m simply pointing out the fact he COULD have easily been traded if they wanted to this year.  People see the “dead cap” number on Sportrac and think that’s the cost to trade players and it’s not necessarily the case.  In his case it would have been a fortune to cut him, but his signing bonus wasn’t exorbitant and would have made the dead cap hit reasonable.

Unless this changed his dead cap hits then a trade isn’t even a possibility

No, he was plenty easy to trade before based on his current contract, this makes him all the harder for the Bills to absorb the money to trade him as it accelerates what he would cost on our cap.  He’s now here for this year, bar none, no way around it.

It in fact makes them higher, and thus harder to trade.

I was being a straw man to the argument that whole Diggs wants out of Buffalo discussion pointing out how silly it is.

Bills would certainly not change his contract this way if he was unhappy being in Buffalo but he still expressed how happy he was offense underperformed.

He wasn't being traded before that, wasn't being traded after it and won't be traded next year or the year after that either.

 

People need to just stop with this nonsense already that they have conjured up in their own mind.

They converted base salary into a bonus, creating another $5.4 million in cap space.

 

Diggs’ cap hits now will be $14.8 million in 2023, $27.8 million in 2024, $27.3 million in 2025, $28.4 million in 2026 and $22.5 million in 2027.
