njbuff Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 17 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: When does the Bills brass get tired of McDermott's defense choking in games??? McDermott throwing Diggs under the boss was the lowest of the low for this loser coach. I would take ten Diggs over one McDermott I am trying not to get emotional but the people that what to run Diggs out of town really piss me off. Diggs is the best WR in franchise history and people want to run him out of town. I've said this before but he is the only one to stand up to McDermott and his joke of an OC. I love him for that! I agree with you on McDermott, but since McDermott's butt is NOW on the line, I think maybe he doesn't trust Diggs to carry him over the finish line. It's wrong, but who knows. And Diggs is number 3 on the Bills all time WR list. No one is taking Diggs over Reed #1 and Moulds #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of you have ever had a typo?" I was going to say this. Maybe he's looking for attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a rich history of excellence at wide out imho—not ready to just hand the sole crown to Diggs just yet. Andre showed up in the playoffs iirc. Andre was great but never was in the conversation for best WR in the league. He never had back to back 1000 yard seasons. Diggs is better. Moulds was physically better than Reed but had ***** QBs. I'm not trying to take anything away from Reed. He was amazing but Diggs is better in every way except run after catch. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I can see how people say Reed is the best. Reed was my 3rd fav after Thurman and Bruce. Reed was amazing. Diggs and Moulds are both physically more talented than Reed. Reed had toughness and may have been the best run after catch WR in NFL history. Nobody caught Rice from behind, but nobody in my opinion ever ran with the ball better than Reed. All that said, Diggs has better speed, route running, and just as good hands as Reed did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get no argument from me there. I would rather he get 90 catches if the other balls are going to Knox and Kincaid. If the other guys are stepping up it only gets easier for Diggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) 23 minutes ago, jahnyc said: Would Diggs be worth much more than Keenan Allen? Chargers received a fourth round pick from the Bears. Don't see us getting a first round pick if Diggs was traded. Probably not- Allen i believe a year older, but diggs makes more money. Allen more injury prone mind you. I would guess a very similar compensation Edited March 15 by BillsFan130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Browns did something like that a few years back. No it is not. The cap hit is the cap hit. The Browns in that example had a ton of space so they took on Brock Osweiler and his dumb contract for a 2nd round pick. But they didn't barter what cap number to take off of the Houston Texans books. His number was his number. Cleveland then immediately cut him loose. They more or less purchased a 2nd round pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the past money. And past money includes his deals we restructured and pushed that money into the future. Which is why I am SO against constantly restructuring deals and why I told everyone who would listen that the Bills wont be restructuring Diggs deal this season (because it would tie their hands to him for more years).

Jerry Jabber Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I don’t get why people get upset everytime Diggs makes a post.

But there sure is a crap ton of smoke regardless. If this is really just a lot of people making up fake stories (like Stef calling a Texans WR to ask about the organization), I dont know what is the benefit for such a story. The same tweeter who said this, also said that Snell will be an Astro (and had a text screenshot from an insider). So If that ends up happening, then i'll give him some credibility.

I agree, and none of this drama has been destructive to the team in the past, so I’m never very concerned. This doesn’t seem TO in his prime where the drama hurt the team. My greatest concern is the possibility that Diggs is past his prime. I worry about that far more than social media posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dont think it's feasible for us with the dead cap it would create. At any time. Diggs can renegotiate his contract to be more tradable, if he wants out he can change the contract terms prior to the trade so the bills can do it. It likely means he takes a pay cut in order to be traded. its up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
