SCBills Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Just now, Warriorspikes51 said: We taking Brock Bowers with that? Hopefully things change, but it seems like most have the 3 QB’s and 3 WR’s going 1-6. Let’s all do our part and hype up JJ McCarthy. If we can’t get one of the big 3, I don’t have much of an appetite trading up for Brian Thomas .. just double up at WR early if we want to burn next year RD1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills do a decent job keeping things in house but not even a "good luck in Houston, we will miss you" type thing from his teammates?? Not even a "thats wild". The silence is rather telling.

Jauronimo Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 1 minute ago, FireChans said: WR with previous history of being team cancer proves to be… a team cancer. It’s almost like these WR’s that act up in the media and force their way out of multiple different teams are actually the problem. Antonio Brown light. Certainly looks that way today. I thought the "diva" narrative was lazy and over played but looks like the Bills did a good job of keeping the true extent of the problem in house. This dead cap hit screams Beane, McD, and the locker room were done with him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Bill Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 3 hours ago, In Summary said: I'm ok with the trade. If this is a bit of a reboot year with letting costly vets go then sure, do it all at once and move on. I'm actually glad to see the Bills move a player a year early rather than a year too late. Belichick was known for getting rid of players a little early rather than late, and somehow they kept winning. Hope we can too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Geary was clearly a guy who was dying on the “Diggs ain’t going anywhere” hill, and now his brain is broken. Beane and co. are paying Diggs an extra $3M this year to not play here. That’s what they think of him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very well could be but kind of assumed that the NFL being set in their ways used the same grading system from then. I don't know which is the latest and greatest for comparing draft picks.

Diggs was acting up in TC this past year! He ran the Minnesota playbook to a T. He tweets cryptic ***** and acts out. This is how Beane knew he was available in Minnesota, and this is how teams knew he was gettable now. We need to stop deluding ourselves. This didn’t happen overnight. The whole cryptic tweet topic is a referendum on people who need to wake up.

I didn't think it would happen, because I didn't think Beane would take on that massive cap hit. And I thought you bring in a WR2, hopefully, that can grow into WR1. That kind of plan is out the window. I think they need to do more. Diggs must have been a real piece of work to make this the best option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there could have been calls before and Beane probably scoffed at them but when they were sitting at 6-6 and about to change OC's, then the calls sounded a bit more reasonable is all I was getting at. I know it didn't happen overnight, it started 2 years ago when they extended him and Diggs probably felt like he was "untouchable" within the organization.

BeavercreekBillsFan Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 2 hours ago, Pine Barrens Mafia said: He has the added bonus of playing in the south, which means a lot of dome games. He also has Bobby Slowek calling the plays and running the Shanahan system where guys are Constantly WIDE TF OPEN, which can’t be understated. On the flip side, Josh is asked to play backyard football just making stuff up as he goes since no one is ever schemed open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I think Diggs probably has wanted out since last year and Bills knew he wasn’t going to play nice with a new alpha receiver the Bills plan on drafting. That would only make the diva drama worse so it was time to cut the cord now for team chemistry. Diggs is on the downside of his career trajectory. Some alphas can’t live with another alpha. He probably wanted no part of teaching his replacement. That’s just the way uber competitive guys are sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtw3 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 One of the toughest things for successful teams in sports to do is to move a declining player early, rather than late. Hopefully that is what we did here. His numbers down the stretch would imply as much. I really hate that we moved him within the conference. I would have much rather seen him in the NFC. The Cap hit this year is significant but it looks like it frees up a lot moving forward. Time for Kincaid and Shakir to step up. This year's Draft just got a helluva lot more important, and it was already shaping up to be crucial. In Beane I still trust. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
