But we still have a lot of spots on the roster that need young players besides WR. Trading away a lot of picks including next years first isn’t worth it when a good WR will be there at 28 imo. The only real needs are Safety 2 or 3, depth DT or Veteran Edge IMO one of the top 3 WR’s would be worth it. I wouldn’t mind staying at 28 and the moving up in the 2nd for another one as well either Edited April 4 by Warriorspikes51 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Geary was clearly a guy who was dying on the “Diggs ain’t going anywhere” hill, and now his brain is broken. Beane and co. are paying Diggs an extra $3M this year to not play here. That’s what they think of him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Joe Mixon tweet is interesting. Makes me think Diggs not only wanted out, but wanted Houston. Bills granted that wish. Perhaps Houston was the only one knocking for Diggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very well could be but kind of assumed that the NFL being set in their ways used the same grading system from then. I don't know which is the latest and greatest for comparing draft picks. Never was something I have cared about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 1 minute ago, The Wiz said: I'm guessing those calls started coming in when they changed to Brady as OC. This is a joke right? Diggs was acting up in TC this past year! He ran the Minnesota playbook to a T. He tweets cryptic ***** and acts out. This is how Beane knew he was available in Minnesota, and this is how teams knew he was gettable now. We need to stop deluding ourselves. This didn’t happen overnight. The whole cryptic tweet topic is a referendum on people who need to wake up. Maybe the guy who has now forced his way off two teams with weird comments and weird behavior DID IT ON PURPOSE. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it would happen, because I didn't think Beane would take on that massive cap hit. And I thought you bring in a WR2, hopefully, that can grow into WR1. That kind of plan is out the window. I think they need to do more. Diggs must have been a real piece of work to make this the best option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there could have been calls before and Beane probably scoffed at them but when they were sitting at 6-6 and about to change OC's, then the calls sounded a bit more reasonable is all I was getting at. I know it didn't happen overnight, it started 2 years ago when they extended him and Diggs probably felt like he was "untouchable" within the organization.

He also has Bobby Slowek calling the plays and running the Shanahan system where guys are Constantly WIDE TF OPEN, which can’t be understated. On the flip side, Josh is asked to play backyard football just making stuff up as he goes since no one is ever schemed open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I think Diggs probably has wanted out since last year and Bills knew he wasn’t going to play nice with a new alpha receiver the Bills plan on drafting. That would only make the diva drama worse so it was time to cut the cord now for team chemistry. Diggs is on the downside of his career trajectory. Some alphas can’t live with another alpha. He probably wanted no part of teaching his replacement. That’s just the way uber competitive guys are sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtw3 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 One of the toughest things for successful teams in sports to do is to move a declining player early, rather than late. Hopefully that is what we did here. His numbers down the stretch would imply as much. I really hate that we moved him within the conference. I would have much rather seen him in the NFC. The Cap hit this year is significant but it looks like it frees up a lot moving forward. Time for Kincaid and Shakir to step up. This year's Draft just got a helluva lot more important, and it was already shaping up to be crucial. In Beane I still trust. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
