Buffalo716 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I'm not going to start retroactively hating diggs and saying he's not great lol If you're actually forcefully shopping somebody you're never getting your actual return that you deserve This hasn't nothing about if people view him as a number one or not if you're getting rid of him Randy Moss went for a fourth not because that's what the league viewed his talent as Diggs was easily still one of the best wide receivers in the AFC combined with his connection with Josh made him even better He's one of the best receivers in the last 30 years to put on a bills uniform you guys are crazy if you're going to crap on him on the way out When he never said anything bad about Buffalo or the bills while here 5 4 1 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a good PR guy. I could feel the wheels in his turning to answer this the best he can without throwing Diggs under the bus.

Roundybout Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 It’s very telling about our offense that Diggs wanted out. Feels like we were going to get a 1st round receiver and he didn’t like losing his target share 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get we had to purge salary but feels like too much to me. Look at what guys like Keenan Allen, Amare Cooper etc went for. It's a fine return. Preferably we wouldn't have traded him to an AFC contender, but if they made the best offer it is what it is. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Beane isn't finished building the WR room by a long shot. I think he'll see how he does in the draft but if he doesn't get a number 1 (or a guy with that potential) remember: The 2024 trade deadline is set to be on November 5. Lots of time to make a move down the road. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if it is, you have to look at NET difference which is we take on an extra 3 million but clear like 27 million next year. With a stud in the draft, I'll do that any day.

Aussie Joe Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 1 hour ago, Don Otreply said: The 2nd next year was the best offer any team in the league was going to offer, Diggs is not viewed as a #1 by anyone outside of a bunch of stubborn Bills fans, I think the rest of the League knew they were dealing with a motivated seller … but I agree that his play declined over the course of last year …and he is not the player he once was … in hindsight they should have been trying to trade him 12 months ago … That contract extension Diggs got is going to go on Beane’s Bad List with Star, Benjamin and a couple of infamous Round 2 draft picks Edited April 3 by Aussie Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Beane again very clearly stated that if at 28 the first round graded WR's on their board are gone, they will take another position and take talent over reaching and look at the 2nd to potentially add a WR. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
