His game declined, and wasn't as integral to the offense. Shakir/Kincaid stepped up. Adding Samuels and young WRs in draft might make us better next season 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 6 minutes ago, technobot said: Was he toxic behind the scenes? I was sick of his passive-aggressive BS but I'm a Gen Xer who is sick of all social media anyway so wtf do I know (obligatory get off my lawn). And yes, I was thrilled for trading for him when it first happened, despite all of this being his MO. Guess the brain trust is all in on eat our medicine now to set ourselves up for later. Just shocked it came to this considering the dead cap from Diggs' trade and already needing a #2, and now needing a #1. It had to have been. They were willing to eat $31 million for him. I also don't think they trade Diggs without Allen's "permission". 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Just now, muppy said: we need DATA and what has actually occurred here. I thought the same as you regarding his contract. We were basically "stuck with him" I thought due to his contract and potential cap hit Sorry, that was sarcasm. Diggs was definitely always tradable. And not just tradable, advantageous for the receiving team. Diggs contract going forward for Houston is middle of the pack for WR1 across the league and there is next to zero cap implication for them to move on from him at any point because of the restructure. And the delta for the Bills is $3M this year. That is it. Now they have some more cap freedom going forward. Not to be a blowhard or specifically kick you in the shins, but this was explained over and over and over again by a lot of posters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Why to Houston for a 2025 pick? I don't mind trading him, but if it's going to be to an AFC contender, you have to get more in return.

appoo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 minute ago, The Jokeman said: and a pick this year and next year. Bad trade IMO. Hes 31 and his cap hit was gonna be 27.3M next season, meaning the Bills would have cut him and saved 5M or attempted to trade him and likely gotten considerably less than a 2nd rounder back. If the Bills were able to get a 2nd out of this that’s a tremendous business by Beane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) For the record, I like the move. Enough is enough. Has this new era of WRs shown you all nothing? Do you realize the kind of numbers a Garrett Wilson or Chris Olave would be putting up with Josh Allen at QB? I'm a Brandon Beane fan. He gets it.

MJS Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I've been saying that Diggs isn't a number 1 receiver anymore and that his issues are concerning, but I thought we were locked with him for another season at least. I guess the Bills decided to just rip off the bandaid. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauleeeWalnuts Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 minutes ago, BuffaloMatt said: 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. I’m not sure about capital. They got a 2025 second, gave up a 6th this year and a 5th next year to move him. Feels like Beane got beat up on this one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I have mixed feelings about this. It feels almost seems very “Patriot Way” like. We’re dumping a player who’s on the wrong side of 30, looking to future. I’m sad to see someone leave who meant so much to the Bills when we became contenders. We’re letting a player go who apart from Allen is the only elite talent on the roster. It feels like a divorce where I’m remembering all the good times, and everything Diggs should be to help us win a title. However, there’s another side that thinks Diggs isn’t that guy anymore. He might not be an elite receiver, he might have become the guy we saw during the second half of last season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhbGT500 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) This is awesome!! Everyone losing their 💩, needs to calm their breasts! They obviously have a plan here. Dude was not what he was when we first got him. He's getting older and wasn't great, down the stretch, when we needed him. He WAS a distraction, whether media-driven or not. I think they're targeting another free agent...and are using draft picks, to move up for a top WR in draft.

Looks like more of a step back this season than I thought. Diggs was amazing in 2020 and 2021. But he's 30 years old and his play has shown signs of dropping off, especially in the second half of each of the last two seasons. Add in all of the personality issues, however legitimate they may be, and I believe this was the right time to move on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlbills13 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I have a feeling the Bills saw the Chiefs without Tyreek and said "we can do that too". They'll lean more on the run game and short game passing. Diggs wasn't as important with Brady although it'd be stupid to totally downplay him. You still need to draft a WR early but you needed to do that even with Diggs. That's as good as compensation as you'll get unfortunately.
