Diggs traded to Texans for picks

Anybody else remember how Diggs dropped a perfect bomb from Allen in the 4th quarter against KC, and then on the most crucial play of the game Allen ignored his #1 receiver who was open underneath to try and get the ball to Shakir?

 

Yeah...all was not peaches and cream between Josh and Diggs...

 

Onward and upward!

 

Yes. Those memories are fresh.  I’ll take Allen over Diggs any day.  
 

Losing Diggs is addition by subtraction.

Allen no longer has to be faced with the Diggs questions or have to always worry about saying the right thing about the two of them. I would hope there is a mutual respect between each of them and it doesn’t get ugly.  It was an incredible rebirth for this organization with the two of them and I’d like for that to stay intact.

Move up for a Wr or use the added cap space and package a deal for a wr looking for his first contract.  Ayuik, Higgins, Jefferson.  I do not think Beane does this randomly without something in mind. He is quite calculated.

The emergence of Shakir I'm sure played into this

 

Him and Kincaid are both young studs. Samuel has a ton of potential.  

Maybe we can still sign a Ridley,trade for Higgins. With big $ kicking in next year

We'd have to give up 5 years worth of 1st and 2nd round picks to get JJ

Ridley is already signed by the Titans.

The move was not really a big surprise but I had a huge empty feeling when I found out. Obviously Diggs was a pain in the butt sometimes in the locker room but his zero tolerance of losing and BS was pretty impressive. Also one the best receivers we have had in years here and one of the toughest players I've ever seen based on the hits he took (often late and dirty). He also made some huge catches in his time here and got some key TDs. It saddens me that one of the final memories of him will be that drop in his last game against KC and Allen overlooking him wide open at the end of the game. Just like with Trey, Poyer and Hyde, Diggs deserved to win a championship here. One of my favorite Diggs moments was him getting a TD vs NE where he berated the audience in Gillette with F bombs. Totally rude but awesome!

How can anyone not be excited about this transition. Diggs was awesome while he was here. The candle has burned out. This is the right move to enter the next Super Bowl window phase.

I just hope that when people are evaluating this move for the Bills, they're considering the $25 million it opens up in cap space for 2025 for Buffalo. That's a major factor. 

This year, the Bills are taking some tough cap medicine. No doubt about it. But NEXT year? Beane's gonna have funny money.

Unimportant thought, but wondering if Mr cryptic tweets is a little embarrassed that he got traded (with two picks) for a future year round two. That doesn’t sound like top 5 WR value. 

Haha he'll prolly go straight to their GM 'why didn't you give up more ?? smh'

you honestly thought someone was gonna toss a 1st round pick for a 31 year old WR who was showing legit signs of decline?

I had been wondering/hoping we could have got Dallas' 1st.  Thought Dallas might be desperate enough.  

 

I had come around to thinking there was enough Diggs disgust in the FO where they would feel the need to move on.

 

Wondering what the plan is from here.

Has this been posted yet? 

 

Maddy Glab, a reporter for the Bills' digital arm, went viral Wednesday afternoon after she could be heard saying, “There's no control over Stefon Diggs. Dude's gonna do what he wants to do. He'll look in my face and say, 'F you. ' How he treats everybody.”

Wow the compensation seems brutal.

 

Anyway, like I said, he was always tradeable this year. I just thought it would be for 1st this year so we can draft his replacement. This seems crazy.

 

The compensation needs to be looked at in conjunction with the fine print - ie - are the Texans eating any of the dead cap and if so how much?

 

I wouldn't be too upset IF the Texans provide some cap relief as part of the package.

I'm hoping Beane already has a deal in place to move up and get a good wideout who we can enjoy on a rookie contract for a while.  

He's calculating.  He has a plan in place.  He doens't make moves for the sake of making moves.
