Einstein Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 7 minutes ago, Beck Water said: Yes. Yes, he is. Where did Florio spread a rumor? His article said: "The Bills have a decision to make this weekend. Trade him before the salary becomes guaranteed, cut him before it becomes guaranteed, let it become guaranteed and trade him after June 1, or let it become guaranteed (possibly with a restructuring to reduce his cap number) and keep him for another year." He listed all 3 options the Bills could make. Keeping him, trading him, or cutting him. He also gave the details for what would happen if they decided to move on from him. "His $18.5 million salary for 2024 becomes fully guaranteed this weekend. He has a 2024 cap number of $27.854 million. Trading him before June 1 would trigger a cap charge of $31.096 million. The Bills could cut him before the salary becomes guaranteed. If they do it with a post-June 1 designation, the Bills would take a cap charge of $8.849 million this year and $22.247 million in 2025. But, obviously, they’d get nothing for him." Where is the rumor spreading in that? It was all factual information, and acknowledgement that Diggs salary becomes guaranteed this weekend. Are you just making it up? Or are you applying a very low standard to "spreading a rumor" by labeling Florio questions of whether Diggs wants to be on the team and discussing the Bills options as "spreading rumors"?

The facts are true, but speculating on those options is spreading rumors. Beane and McDermott have said nothing to indicate Diggs would not be back. So it is just a fan and media driven rumor. There is no reporting. It's just idle speculation. There are hundreds of players with a year or two left on their contracts. Why is Florio not commenting on them?? If it was reporting he would publish a table of all the players similar to Diggs and in the final year or two of their contracts. Florio is just making these comments to get clicks.

There's one where speculation is dead. The stats tweet was directly a response to all the people claiming he's toast. That's it. Not only that, but humility and accountability for the drop.

Talking about a teams options are what sports reporters and analysts do. They analyze! They talk about what the options are, and what would happen under each option. Spreading a rumor is taking an unsubstantiated piece of information and pushing it as a true fact. We have all done that before (on accident), but that is MUCH different than talking about all of a teams options and what would happen under each option.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 46 minutes ago, Einstein said: I understand that you believe yourself to be the boss of others and therefore have the power to tell others what they should or should not do. Unfortunately for you, the remainder of society does agree with that belief. Reality is that you are the boss of only yourself. Therefore, as the boss of yourself, you have the choice to: A) Enter threads you do not like, get annoyed, post a bunch of insults, and (by doing so) drive the thread right back to the top of the page where you do NOT want it. B) Ignore the thread (or even the posters you disagree with), and therefore do not have to deal with threads or opinions you do not like. With these two choices in mind, which choice do you feel makes the most sense for you? Which do you feel would make you happier? ]Personally, if it were me, I would just ignore the thread. Since any reply I gave to a thread I don't like, just pushes the thread back to the top of the page. For example: As you can see on the home page, I've only commented in 1 of the last 10 threads posted. You can tell that by looking at the icons next to the thread. The dot next to a thread means you have not commented. The star icon means you have participated in the thread. Do you know why I haven't commented in the other 9? Because they are not interesting to me, or I do not believe my knowledge or opinion would contribute positively to them. So I ignore them. Maybe you should give that a try as well? I believe in you - You can do this! Lol, never said I was in charge. But I do care about this board and said your thread committed to spreading a false narrative is bad for the board because it spreads false information. Then again, guess threads like this are to be expected from you when the highly respected poster you leached onto all season to try and get your name out of the muck stops posting and you gotta go back to your bread and butter nonsense.

Doc Brown Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: Only thing I'll say about the latest Diggs controversy is I don't expect the Bills to offload him this year, but I also don't think he is in their long term plans. Beane had a chance to save $13.1M off the cap this year with a simple restructure of his contract. He chose not to touch it. IMO that spells the beginning of the end. Do you think it's an age concern or off the field stuff (or both)? I think they didn't restructured White's contract last off-season because of concern about his ACL if I remember correctly.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Since everybody loves to speculate on Diggs tweets, here's another possible explanation of "ready for whatever". I remember last season him being asked about a tweet he made by reporters. His response was "I thought everyone loves Drake? It was just a song lyric". To that end, maybe he's quoting a T.I. song. T.I. has a song titled "Ready for Whatever". Some of the lyrics are PRETTY fitting and fall more in line with someone tired of the talk around him (of which he tweeted about earlier): "Hate the price of fame It cost too much (aye yeah boy) And you lame ****** talk too much (aye yeah) I'm ready for whatever, somebody better tell 'em (aye yeah boy) I said I'm ready for whatever, hey, hey, hey Even though my head in the clouds, I'm planted on the pavement How I'm walkin' 'round, people starin' in amazement I play a lot of game, but well-being I ain't playin' with They so judgmental, maybe they don't understand" Edited March 16 by BillsFanForever19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they didn't restructured White's contract last off-season because of concern about his ACL if I remember correctly. That may be, but they "kicked some can down the road" in Dec of 22 after he was already injured, by converting some 2022 salary to signing bonus. But I agree, they could have done more and refrained, likely from concern about his ACL recovery. 2 hours ago, Warriorspikes51 said: I’ll tell you one thing though… The Dynasty Patriots & Chiefs wouldn’t hesitate to move him.

I viewed it as Diggs thinking a variety of things could happen to him, probably because he did not take a pay cut that was probably offered - like Von or Knox. Since he didn't take the pay cut, he doesn't know what will happen with him and the 3/17 date has meaning. The followup "Well" also makes sense.
