Report: Bills allegedly privately open to trading Diggs "under the right circumstances"

I would be in favor of this "Bellichick style" move, especially if this team wants to keep their superbowl window open.  I personally don't think what Diggs did and is clearly still doing is/was justified in any way, and I can't see how a team can thrive with a player that clearly thinks his QB is doing him wrong, or another "mystery" person in the organization.  Now Allen has to force throws his way, people have to cater to his bull#### tantrum, or placate his ego.

 

It's like a married couple where someone has cheated, but they stay married.  Yes they stayed married and faithful, but it's never the same.  Add the fact Diggs is going to be 30, I say work a miracle deal to let him "antonio brown" himself out of the league somewhere else.

 

I welcome intelligent rebuttal.

Rebuttal: we're left with 40 billion in dead cap after the trade

Every time Brandon Beane talked this offseason, he mentioned getting the offense MORE weapons.

 

He was limited in cap space and there weren't a bunch of options, but he still signed two free agent receivers (Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty).  We know he explored signing Odell Beckham and acquiring DeAndre Hopkins.  In the draft, he ended up getting the best receiving Tight End (Dalton Kincaid) and adding another receiver (Justin Shorter).

 

Everyone knows the Bills are inside a rapidly closing Super Bowl window.  Everyone in the organization has acknowledged that.  There isn't a single example in the last 2-3 seasons of us doing anything that could possibly be viewed as a rebuild or reset.  Beane's moves have all been about trying to win a championship right now, with a little bit of care to not totally mortgaging the future.

 

The idea he would trade away Stefon Diggs is laughable.  Not only because it would completely blow-up our Super Bowl aspirations, but because it would also cause dead-cap problems.  It would pretty much be the opposite strategy of every move Beane has made recently.  Regardless of whether Diggs is causing issues internally (which is entirely possible), the Bills know they NEED him badly and couldn't realistically move on financially if they wanted to.

 

I absolutely believe more is going on with Diggs than our front office is currently admitting.  It could stem from a multitude of issues, up to and including anger with the coaching staff, gameplan, team acquisitions, or personal beef with other players.  All of these possibilities are on the table.  But nobody outside of a select few people on this planet know the truth, and the Bills are notoriously tight-lipped with allowing leaks.  The media is desperate to milk this story during the NFL's slowest time of year, but they can't get anything concrete.  So as usual, they are just running with rumors from anonymous sources.  It's pathetic.

I should have put "miracle deal" in bold

I should have put "intelligent rebuttal" in bold  :)  seriously though, I think the outward display of adult infancy speaks for itself.

Everything you wrote is speculation based on speculation. It's your "feelings" - nothing is based on fact.  Please provide evidence that Diggs "clearly thinks his QB is doing him wrong" or "Now Allen has to force throws his way."

 

Or perhaps you are privy to conversations that Bills reporters have not heard.

I think it is quite overblown and that Diggs has consistently proven when it comes to game time he plays. This is honestly the fanbase just looking for conflict and it is spurred on by the media who knows fans even outside of the Bills fandom will eat it up.

How is anything on this even being debated still when Albright immediately said this was all made up opinion in response to a hypothetical question?

 

Some fans really got a hard on for hating one of our best players, eh?

 

 

 

Because a made up lie travels about 10,000 times faster and to millions more people than the truth can follow. 

 

I think there has been studies done that when a blatant lie or speculation is started it reaches far more people than the retraction or correction ever will. It probably has something to do with the lie or speculation being more inflammatory than the truth.

Personally... I think Diggs has a legitimate gripe. He wasn't invited to the room and what we were trying to do against the Benfgals wasn't working.

They gave Allen lots of input about stuff (Dorsey Hire for example) but nothing from a All Pro possible future HoF WR is a pass heavy offense

I wish it was handled better but I can't be too upset with Diggs either at this junction

And then you have Brandolini's Law at play as well.

 

Brandolini's law, also known as the bullsh!t asymmetry principle, is an internet adage coined in 2013 that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place.

 

The law states the following:

The amount of energy needed to refute bullsh!t is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it

Lol I just was jumping in to post this. I also find it hilarious that someone in this thread called him. LaCanfora clone. Whoever said that should never be taken seriously on this board...

If his ego becomes Antonio Brownesq, he either has to leave, or Dawkins, Morris, Knox has to step in defend the O or beat crap out of him.

His disruptions cannot be tolerated by the players, they have more influence than coaches. It happened many times on bickering Bills days.

Where is Carwell when you need him?

I know I’ve heard that before. I just can’t remember if it was in Physics or Philosophy.
