If this report is true, what do you think the "right circumstances" would be? https://heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/bills-privately-open-traiding-stefon-diggs/amp/ I had previously posted this report on another thread. It seemed worthy of noticing. But not worthy of its own thread. At least, that's how I added it up. It's probably BS. Diggs' contract makes a trade hard. And he's too important to the offense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlbills13 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Yeah I mean I'd trade him straight up for Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase too but I would guess the Vikings or Bengals won't so Diggs will still be hoisting the Lombardi as a Buffalo Bill in February. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 With the exception of Allen, he is our best player on offense. If the Bills were rebuilding and looking to acquire picks, then I could see it. But they are trying to win a Super Bowl so it's not going to happen. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Given the massive dead cap we'd incur the next 2 seasons by trading Diggs there's really no "right circumstances" that we can trade him. The situation would have to deteriorate to the point that he's sitting out or sabotaging his on field play. At which point we trade him for whatever we can get and live with the dead cap 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's tied to the team for at least the next two seasons. He'll be 31 after the 2024 season so they may ready to move in another direction at that time but not before then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The right circumstances would be trading him for multiple players that would be so cheap contractually that they off set diggs disgusting dead cap hit Basically trading diggs for another teams version of diggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 With the recent news surrounding Buffalo Bills superstar WR Stefon Diggs, the Denver Broncos are rumored to be one of several teams interested in trading for the disgruntled receiver, if he were to become available, per Benjamin Allbright on Broncos Country Tonight. HE IS NOT AVAILABLE, NOR WILL HE BE 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Oh boy - there are so many odd things floated at this "dead" time of the year for real NFL news - this sure seems to fall under the category of "nonsense". On the other hand - maybe they could trade Diggs straight up for Tyreek Hill - he seems like a real "Process" type & an all-around good guy too. Training camp can't get here soon enough - until then I'll just try to enjoy Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I mean, they would be open to trading any player "under the right circumstances". If KC wanted to trade us Pat Mahomes and 10 first round picks for Josh Allen, I'm sure we'd do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs is elite, but if his contract wasn’t such a mess to trade, I’d be open to it. Allen is elite. If we did fix the OL, he should be able to elevate those around him. Allbright floated Sutton and a 2nd or 3rd. That’s a no for me.. in fact, I’m hanging up the phone and not even responding to that offer. However, Sutton, a 1st and another pick? Ok, I’m listening. Denver gets Diggs on a great contract for them. We eat cap and lose an elite WR, but load up for our next window, while still having enough talent to win this year. I just don’t see how we do anything with the way his contract is structured. Edited June 22, 2023 by SCBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Do people not understand what the cap hit would be if we traded Stefon Diggs? We are talking about literally $40 million on next year’s cap. That is what we would pay whether he was on our team or not. It is literally money we have already paid him.

Saint Doug Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 His contract makes him untradeable.

I don’t know enough about the cap to know if a team could do some kind of offset on a players contract so they eat most of it to send him to us in order to take back Diggs with us eating so much dead cap? Because that would have to be the deal … a WR1a/WR2 type WR who we don’t owe much of anything to this year and next, plus picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
