BuffaloBill Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I like the move. Diggs all but disappeared in the last 8 games and he has not been a factor in the playoffs. The Bills unload his salary cap hit and can empahsize a youth movement. I get the Idea that Brady just was not a Diggs fan. IMO the Bills made a very good move here. 5 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heels20X6 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Anyone think it's kinda funny that the Texans just created this issue where they needed a Diggs by unnecessarily trading a MUCH better receiver away in Deandre Hopkins...? Anyways, the return is meh, the current WR room is a major concern and I guess Diggs was more toxic than any of us realized. Hope he can be "HIM" in Houston. But my gut tells me this is the start of his "hop-along" career where he wears 6 different jerseys before calling it a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 minute ago, wppete said: The compensation is a complete joke. Beane has lost a few steps. Too much limelight has got to his head. Houston robbed us. I mean.. Diggs isn't prime Tyreek. We're getting a '25 2nd Round pick, but it's the Vikings pick. Good chance that pick is in the top half of the 2nd Round next year. Clearly part of the calculus is using a high pick next year to move up this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 4 minutes ago, DapperCam said: Look at the trade comp around the league. For Diggs’ age, contract, and the way his performance was trending last year I think it was pretty good. Texans take on the risk that Diggs is washed, and we get a 2nd round pick. It might work out for them if Diggs turns it around, we’ll see. Diggs performs well when he is mentally and emotionally well, so I think he'll probably go there and be pretty happy and perform well. Until something pisses him off and he starts sulking again. Talented receiver, but he is too volatile. Edited April 3 by MJS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorspikes51 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It's too bad we couldn't get a higher return. Would like to know if this offer from HOU was the current best offer and Beane only hit the button after seeing Diggs nonsense last night ?

Pegula and Beane choose the loser head coach over the star WR that called out his bull#### OC. God I hate this. Beane had better find a great replacement or you’re gonna trash him on a messageboard? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Diggs has been great for Josh, but the dude was slipping. Never been a speedster and looked to be losing a step. His drops have been up. In KC playoff game dropped a 55 yard dime , gets up and does that "so close" thing with his fingers to Josh.. sort of sums it all up. MAYBE has one more solid year left in him. Don't think this means we def move up for MHJ, Nabers or Odunze. More likely to the mid-late teens or early 20's to grab someone like Brian Thomas Jr or AD Mitchell. Emergence of Shakir, Kincaid and most likely 1st round pick, youth movement is on. Samuel is a sub 4.4 guy. Brady knows what he wants to do with him. Getting younger and faster.

ndirish1978 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 4 minutes ago, CaptnCoke11 said: Top 40 pick (most likely)for an aging WR is good value Not in NEXT years draft. 2nd rd pick in the next year is always devalued by 1 rd when considering compensation. It also doesn't help us draft his replacement at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBFL Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 minute ago, eball said: Anyone who doesn't believe they at least vetted this idea with Josh first is kidding himself... Beane has a plan and keeping his golden boy happy is a big part of that. I’m definitely kidding myself then. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 this ONLY makes sense if we are trading up for Harrison, Odueb (sp), or Nabers. Not even Thomas may warrant this, but if we don't land one of those 4 from the draft this is an utter failure, and Josh should be asking for a trade next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs is a twit for sure, but it's clear McD can't handle personalities that aren't in lock-step with him. Most NFL coaches realize they have to and do grudgingly. 8 minutes ago, May Day 10 said: Run, Run, Pass, Punt I would not be surprised to see them be more ball control, defensive-oriented. I have a hard time seeing McClappy, even if he does get a young receiver or 2, playing them. And less so featuring them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I would not be shocked if we package our 2025 1st and other picks to get a top WR this year. The Bills likely feel that two 2nd rounders next year (many are saying the one we just got is the Vikings pick so it will likely be high) is fine without a first rounder. I also predict that now Josh will be more assertive and take no ***** from anyone on the offense now. No one will yell at Josh on the sidelines; he is now the man. I honestly feel like Steph, personality wise, was the alpha dog on the offense. And Josh didn't want to get in Steph's face and was too deferential. But it should be the QB. And now it is. 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
