Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 What is sort of amazing about this situation is that it is suddenly nuclear, and for no coherent reason. It’s not like he wants more money or he isn’t getting the ball. He is getting paid and gets the ball a ton. The Bills are dealing with a totally irrational actor here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of Diggs drama and replacing it with the best WR in the league is a massive win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help probably won't see the ball much as he's a rookie and Mcdermott is a scared, conservative guy when it comes to playing rookies. Relative to the improvements our main rivals have made, we've gone backwards this off-season. Ed Oliver Greg Rosseau Tremaine Edmunds Tre White Spencer Brown Cody Ford Dawson Knox Devin Singletary All these guys started as rookies. Josh Allen did too but he came in early because Peterman was a disaster. Dion Dawkins also started 11 games but didn’t put him on the original list because he split time for a bit with Cordy Glenn. But still started 11 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that a combination of wanting more input on game planning, getting the ball more, and not having input on the hiring process for the new WR coach could be at least part of the reason for the current situation with Diggs. Another post that finally makes sense. Some of these theories are wild. Wonder how long their meeting was for😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your prior post suggested two distinct benefits: getting rid of diggs, and adding Jefferson. One of those is a win and one isn't. And yes, on aggregate, we all know the vikings replaced one of the best receivers in the game with the best receiver in the game and are reasonably happy with the net gain. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 2 minutes ago, JoPoy88 said: They better have a plan to replace that production then. But yeah it was a long shot he played out that extension even without the drama. It will be addition by subtraction. The tough part will be it will cost us some of our own FA’s just due to eating the Diggs contract. We have 29 or 30 FA’s next season. Some notables in terms of snap count are Hyde. Jones, Davis, AJE, Settle, and Lawson. I’m trying to mess around with Spotrac to make anything work. The tough part of moving on now is the 2024 dead cap number of $31M. You can get through this years $13M by also begging Morse and Settle off the roster. But there’s no relief for 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not JJ’s fault obviously, but there it is. edit: and compromises will be made once they give JJ his money.

Big Blitz Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I don’t care what happened with Diggs. Any outside observer without Bills goggles on is telling you he’s headed to AB territory. Something is wrong. Way wrong. And make no mistake this is a POS move on every level. The only defense I have for the team is hopefully there were zero signs of a rift in February 2022 and before they extended him. Or worse thinking extending him would appease him. Those people should all be fired. This is all potentially catastrophic. This MFer better be there tomorrow stop tweeting in code like a Gen Z b**** and go ball or freaking retire for all I care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennstate10 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 46 minutes ago, Success said: Gotta disagree. We upgraded on the O-line, at RB, and at WR. People are sleeping on Harris a bit - his issue is injuries, but when healthy, he'll be a revelation. We will finally have a running game. Obviously, Kincaid hasn't played yet - but he has the skills to create real match-up problems for defenses, in a way that we have not been able to do. Harty & Sherfield both address weaknesses we had in our WR corps last year - both have great hands, are physical and get good YAC. Shakir and Cook are both coming into a pivotal 2nd year after showing a lot of promise as the season went on last year. If Davis can rebound, and Brown can take that next step - this will be the best offense we have had in the JA era, and possibly in Buffalo's history. Whoa, that’s a bold statement Cotton…. Harty is now a physical receiver.? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
