BBFL Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 minutes ago, KDIGGZ said: Tyreek Hill was worth 2x 1sts. Diggs is worth a 2025 2nd? Ouch Eh. Tyreek is more valuable IMO. Definitely thought they’d at least get a first or second without giving up anything other than Diggs. Surprised it wasn’t a straight trade. Worst part about it all is you’ve just given a second year QB, in the same conference, who blew the doors off the league a valuable weapon underneath… Texans will be a problem this season unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just now, Alphadawg7 said: Why would we not wait until after June 1st to lessen the blow if there was no picks we were getting in this draft? That makes no sense to me Cant the Texans take on a bunch of that cap? Probably why we're sending so many picks with him just for a 2025 2nd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The thing that people always fail to understand is that when a player is on a bad/expensive contract, it always factors into the value you get back in a trade. That's certainly what happened here. 9 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Wow! So right now when I continuously ask Has Beane done enough for our Franchise Qb.. Well right now, we let our number one Wr go as well as a few key pieces of our Oline. We are not better off. Houston will now be a favorite to win a Super Bowl before us.. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 So let me get this straight... We got a 2nd round pick(the Vikings) and traded Diggs, a 4th rounder this year and a 5th rounder next year? AND just took a $31 million cap hit this year too? Are you fvcking kidding me?? Where is the money coming from to do this? Now we are like $25 million over the cap again. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Grundy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Diggs didn't seem fully integral to Brady's game plan last season. Doesn't feel like he needs a superstar WR - just a few good ones. Get the interceptions out of Josh's games and play a more conservative and consistent offence. It's a great deal for the Texans - Diggs is pure showtime - but I'm okay with moving on. He's a pretty high maintenance dude. Edited April 3 by Bill Grundy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Doesn't he have like $30 million dead cap hit on the contract? Unless this is the first step of a bigger move like trading up in the draft or getting Jefferson or Aiyuk, I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloMatt Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Let's put it in perspective. Diggs became a really expensive decoy last year. First ten games Dorsey forced him the ball and even when he eclisped 100 yards we lost half those games. We lose his salary, gain some capital and I believe Beane has a plan. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGFOOTspaceman Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I love it. Served his purpose. See ya Diggs. He's obviously a problem. If he was such a valuable asset Beane would hold on to him. KC just won a SB with the Mayor, Govenor, and Police Chief of Turd city at WR. What's the problem? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 7 minutes ago, BruceVilanch said: I would assume Houston absorbs a big chunk Depends on his bonus structure. he signed a 21M bonus on signing, which prorated over 6 years, so that’s 10.5M he’s on the hook for. I think they also restructured his 23 salary as well. His 24 salary became guaranteed after Mar 18th, but that’s gonna be on Houston. I’m sure im missing something but my quick math suggests the bills save ~8-10M of the cap as his cap hit would be 27.8M, and I think only about 12-15 is bonus money that the bills prorated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Houston you scored a top 5 wide out for peanuts. Now we have cap space to do something stupid. 2 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
