Jrb1979 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: Yup. I hope that watching it from the sidelines in the midst of his tantrum made him feel stupid. But knowing his personality I'm sure it didn't change a thing in his ego poisoned mind. They knew the guy was a problem yet they still have him a new contract and reworked. After 1 season decided that taking on dead cap to get rid of him was worth it. Beane really messed up with Diggs. He should have been traded before the new contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From Roc to Ky bills fan Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 50 minutes ago, FireChans said: He sucked in the second half of last year. It’s certainly on the board that’s who he is going forward. One on one coverage is a quarterbacks dream and diggs saw a lot of one on one coverage last year and couldn't get open. Not to mention the drop in the end zone against the chiefs in the playoffs last year. I like the trade for underperforming players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 5 minutes ago, davefan66 said: Got it! Is there dead money next year also? If not, not a bad move IMHO. Spotrac isn't up to date yet, but I think we get something like $5-10M back in cap space next year. I believe there is still some dead money, but ultimately we get some relief. I thought the Bills would have waited until after June 1. I remember that in that scenario the Bills would have gotten $19M in 2024 relief and $5M in 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdmoreRyno Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I haven’t read through all the replies but I’m not happy. We basically got screwed twice by Minnesota trades over a 5 year span. Should have AT LEAST got the Texans 1st rounder. Not them trade to Minnesota for 3 picks and we get thrown a bone for NEXT year. Regardless of what you think about Diggs, he was STILL A WR1!!!!! This isn’t a good move IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 13 minutes ago, Gregg said: It's supposed to be a deep draft for WR's this year. Beane has to get some weapons out of this draft for Allen. If they trade up or not I have to think WR is the pick in Rd 1. Probably going to take more than one WR this draft. I can't wait to hear Beane's press conference for this. The media is going to have a lot of questions to ask. Yes, it is deep. You just can't expect a whole lot out of a wide receiver as a rookie. They are not always an instant impact. It helps that we have Josh Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2Moulds Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 53 minutes ago, SCBills said: With two 2nd's next year, a high pick from next year is being used this year... I believe that to be the calculus. We currently have Shakir and Samuel... We're getting two WR's in the Top 100 picks this year. I had the exact same thought. A lot easier to stomach not having a 1 next year, if we have 2 2's. I know I'm dreaming, but Nabors would be the dream pick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBF81 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 13 minutes ago, SmokinES3 said: Yes, but that's not my main concern. Beane has proven himself to be more than capable IMO. This season's performance is going to let us know what's going on, 7 Beane seasons in. The division sucks monkey nuts, we literally own Miami, they literally cannot beat us barring 100-degree temps with our players sitting in extreme heat, and even then couldn't outplay us. A division win is expected, and if we cannot advance beyond the wild-card round again, that theory is going to be quite seriously challenged. As always, we'll see. Hopefully we'll win a Super Bowl with this ragtag WR corps without a distinguished WR in the group. Hopefully we'll bolster it with a WR in the 1st round. But it should be of concern, because we've been lectured for a full year now by both head coach and Allen how there's absolutely nothing to any of this Diggs's stuff. That's not going to age well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) Worth going back and reading this from 2020. “His standing in the Minnesota offense was just one of several slights that didn’t seem to sit well with Diggs, and early on last season, it became obvious to those around the Vikings organization that the union between the wideout and the franchise was fraying. He missed practice despite not being listed with an injury, used cryptic emojis in his tweets, and eventually said he was “frustrated” with Minnesota’s 2-2 start.” And this: “Yet as great as Diggs had been for Minnesota, his departure seemed inevitable. A month into 2019, the receiver responsible for the most spectacular touchdown in Vikings history skipped team meetings and a practice over displeasure with their run-heavy offense. He was painted as petulant and selfish. The Vikings fined him $200,000.” Edited April 3 by Coach Tuesday 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePJ76 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Michael Gallup would be a smart safety net here. He is big and basically a slower version of Gabe Davis. He was not used much last year but he is excellent with acrobatic catches on the sideline and is good at bodying people and going up and getting balls. I cant imagine he would get paid a lot. Sounds like he is visiting the steelers at the moment who are going to use him in the same way, big body x wr outside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishBill Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Sad end to his time at the Bills. Hoping we fail forward here and come out somehow better for it. When the Vikings moved on from Diggs they ended up with Justin Jefferson. Even someone half as good as him would make it palatable. Not confident it'll be that way though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 13 minutes ago, HappyDays said: You know what, now is a good time to spill the beans on what I was told earlier this year - In the home Patriots game, Diggs chose to sit out the first drive of the 2nd half because he was upset with Allen's play in the 1st half. It wasn't an injury or part of the game plan. He decided to screw over his team and sit out a drive because he couldn't get over himself. I suspect other stories like this will come out in the coming days. A couple aren't mine to tell. Guy was a total headcase and a major distraction in more ways than one. Everybody wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt last year. I don't know why based on his actions. But sure, call him misunderstood. Two teams have now traded away the "star" WR. One was better for it, I suspect it will be two when this plays out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 1 minute ago, Pirate Angel said: When they traded Watkins and Darby the same belief was had by many FWIW, I was fully on board with those trades at the time, even though I was bummed to lose Darby. Thought we got a good haul for both, and didn’t think Watkins would be much of a loss. (He wasn’t.) I wasn’t happy about the Dareus trade, but that one was mostly wishful thinking on my part. Dareus was so good until he lost his motivation. As for this trade? I’m not raging out or crying doom & gloom, but I’m not happy either. Just feels like we’re gonna be told that a 2nd next year is just as good as a 1st, when the Bills trade way up to get a guy who’s not as good as Diggs in 2024. Now, if we keep next year’s #1 and hit on our top WR pick anyway? That’ll change my tune a bit. Also if Diggs does nothing in Houston, that would recalibrate this trade for me.

Bills will obviously suck next year so, pretty attractive draft picks. If you can do it, and hypothetically get MHJ. I'd say do it. The Bills have done everything else with this franchise except mortgage their future by trading picks away. I say let's try that route. It took you a half second to formulate a response to a question you had no idea how to answer....impressive LOL Well anyone that truly believes that A, using Diggs in the slot as Brady did, and that this was a move forward, is delusional.
