BruceVilanch Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 minutes ago, BBFL said: Can’t really be any other option…  Sounds like they didn’t feel they had the ammunition to move into the range they were wanting so made a move to pick up extra. Should have traded Cooks instead. I’d rather see another RB than get rid of the guy who’s been Josh’s crutch for several seasons.  At a loss for words really. I think Kincaid is going to be his crutch for this season 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Ugh here we go again with the media making something out of nothing! Sure Adam Schefter himself tweeted out that Diggs is being traded but he's probably just reading into tweets. This is a nothing burger. Allen said he loves Diggs. Beane said he'll be on the team. I for one can't wait to see Diggs rocking the Bills red white and blue this September. 1 14 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I’ll believe it when I see it.  But if true I assume they talked to Josh and he didn’t want to deal with the distractions anymore.  Has to be a prelude to a move way up in round 1 for one of the top WRs in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say that it wouldn’t surprise me if they are the dead cap if they could get back an early 2nd rounder. I have to assume that’s involved  Double dip at WR coming? Puts my boy McConkey back on the table lol Bills receive 2025 second-round pick via Minnesota. Texans receive Stefon Diggs and a 2024 sixth-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick. https://t.co/WlL4mAaavz  https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/texans-trade-for-bills-star-stefon-diggs  Feels like we gave up too much, Diggs and the picks? Seriously I would think if giving up picks we'd also look to get a player back.  Edited April 3 by The Jokeman 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBFL Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just now, JJGauna said: It’s a tough reality but can’t ignore how Diggs disappeared last season. Unfortunately it’s time to move on. Yes, definitely has been underwhelming in the playoffs if you remove the Miami game.  Would have liked to move on next year in the event there’s someone in place to take his position. Better hope the guys who’ve been in the league; Samuel/Shakir/Hollins show up.  Feel that King Cade showing up helped this trade not feel as bad to them more than the acquisitions made this off-season.  Top player and obvious fan fav’ is always tough to see moved. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Oof. In a vaccuum, I'm okay with trading Diggs, but I was hoping for a better haul than this. A second rounder a full year away, plus we're throwing in late picks? Yikes. Maybe Diggs really is cooked at this point if the Bills are willing to sell for that price. Because now you're not just replacing Davis in the draft, you're replacing Diggs as well.  We'd better not sell off next year's #1 to move up for a WR. This could be a down year (so could any year, if Allen gets hurt) and our 2025 #1 could be in the teens instead of the twenties. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
