machine gun kelly Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 This is a mess, but now if we don’t take WR’s in the 1st 2 rounds, we are f’d up. We can’t make it on what we have, but I know he’s on the wrong side of 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBFL Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 2 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: For the record, I like the move. Enough is enough. Has this new era of WRs shown you all nothing? Do you relaize 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. That’s a fair point. Think it hurts because he’s been so productive and integral to the success we’ve had with Josh. However, those guys are also playing on bad teams where they’ve been forced to pass. A lot. Not taking anything away from their talent but numbers have definitely been padded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 3 minutes ago, Mango said: 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. if you want to take the time and explain this in detail, and if it’s correct, we can pin it to the top of the board and close it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 7 minutes ago, PauleeeWalnuts said: 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 It wasn't working here. 31 years old in November and in decline with a huge cap number. A hard move, but a necessary one. Both parties should benefit.

Billz4ever Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) This should be a telltale sign they are drafting a WR early. Maybe even 2. We are talking about the Bills though, so that could also mean DE. Edited April 3 by Billz4ever 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I still stand by his tweets being severely over re-acted to. If he talks poo on the way out, then eff him. Seeing the compensation, I wonder if Houston ate the contract or if we are going to pay him 22 million to play elsewhere. Without knowing the details (both of the deal and what was going on behind the scenes), I don’t love this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Wow was not expecting that….. i feel a huge trade up at the draft is going to happen. Trade this year’s 1st round pick and 2nd Round pick also next years Houstons 2nd Round pick to trade up for Nabers???? Id be very happy if that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Where there is smoke there is fire. People have been dismissing Diggs comments but it's clear he wanted out. The guy is a diva, and a clown.

ndirish1978 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Terrible return on this trade. How much of a cancer does a guy have to be behind the scenes for you to eat 31M cap hit and get rid of WR1. Edited April 3 by ndirish1978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessImproverMan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I attended many games last year and it was clear watching Diggs that he really had lost it the second half of the season. He is also known for disappearing during key playoff games and choking (see drop last year against KC, some other boneheaded plays (fumble) and lack of separation). This move should free up a lot of cap space for us next year to reload. This draft is also receiver heavy so we will get someone. We may have a bit of a drop off this year but we will be much better off in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgrochester55 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I want to reserve judgement until I see what the cap looks like and what Buffalo adds at WR before the season. Buffalo was not getting past the divisional round with last years set up. If Allen has five to ten good years left, I would be willing to take a step back for one year if it meant true Super Bowl contention after.
