Diggs' Drama

He won't be cut to save cap. They are plenty fine there. They don't need that $20M. Gives them leeway if they can't find an upgrade.

That would be great but neither are remotely likely to be traded anyway. Oh, the "insiders" will talk about it for clicks. But neither will be moved. Same with Justin Jefferson. 

New England is a problem in terms of competition for WRs.  They need a good one and they have cap space.  While you think none of J Jeff/AJ Brown or Pickens will be available, there are some out there.

 

I wonder how much it will affect Beane's actions.  It would make sense to go hard early for the second tier - M Evans or B Aiyuk while New England puts out bids for the big boys - AJ Brown/Pickens or A Pierces (kind of like how Beane was caught drooling over Waddle).  It does make me think Beane needs to attack WR quickly, Beane needs his priorities set and offers ready, he can't afford to come out of this enpty handed again.

I always thought Diggs leaving the team to go to the hospital where Hamlin was being treated was a bit of an act. 
 

I am sure there were a bunch of guys on the team that Damar was close with, but none of them hopped in an Uber and took off. 
 

Diggs always was portrayed as this super guy who more than others, didn’t want to lose and was a fierce competitor.  BS.  That describes probably over 90% of the NFL.

I noticed at the time at he seemed to make sure everyone knew he was first to the hospital. It wasn't a discreet act of compassion, it was another "Look at me!" move. If this is accurate, leveraging a tragedy like that is disgusting.

yes it is.  It's like having a criminal mindset. It's hard for non criminal type people to comprehend the wickedness to even go there. Diggs pubbing his visit to the hospital  to prop himself up? 

 

It IS disgusting.  and even now Im not sure I buy it. 

 

Maybe it isn't true. At the time I didn't view it as self serving. I remember being glad he went. 

 

But who really knows except Stephon himself.  I bet the truth is somewhere in the middle

 

as  to these current charges he will have excellent attorneys that is for sure. May justice be done!

I honestly find it telling and I am not trying to be a card reader here... but it seems to me there is a lot of pomp and no circumstance here... unless we get some physical evidence... pictures, Dr reports... something to substantiate her claims I just cant see anything happening to him... maybe in a civil thing... and I am not saying he didnt do it... I am just saying she is probably gonna need more than just her word... and I am not sure I have heard of anything more than that... i guess we are going to find out.... 

I do hate how a basic restraining move is a separate charge over common assault...but now felony strangulation.  Couldn’t tell ya how many times ive used the "sleeper hold" over the years of working in a bar lol.

 

As for the whole situation, it literally does sound like a "he said, she said" case.  Only signs of evidence was her chest was a little red when the police arrived.

 

I do find it humorous that she wanted to quit and be paid out for the rest of her contract.  And he says something like "pay you, and another chef, nope".  Isn't that what nfl players do when they quit on their teams? Lol

[Nihilarian]

I'm betting that he will be cut, and all teams need to do is look at his stats in individual games to see he isn't worth anywhere near what he is being paid. Especially the big games. Mack Hollins is worth more.

 

SB, 3 receptions for 37 yards. Denver playoff game 5 reception for 17 yards. Houston playoff game 4 receptions for 40 yards, 1 TD, Chargers, 2 reception for 16 yards. Although he did have 1013 receiving yards this year.

NO NO NO!! You cannot say that name in here or those positive things about him!! That is a serious blasphemy!!

We are rewriting history here folks 

Diggs left the team on his own, Uber that he got on his own, when in the front entrance without fanfare and was only spotted when a camera noticed him walking in. Maybe it was a plant that took the photo but it wasn't something he did as a great celebration. 

 

There are a lot of reasons to think he's a douchebag, a lot of reasons not to like him, but this is not one of them

Yeah.  A story that dominated the day in the NFL, followed by one player who leaves the rest of the team behind to go to the hospital, which by that time was probably swarming with reporters...I am sure you are right he didn't at all expect his presence at the hospital or his departure from the team to be a story about HIM.

 

Just my opinion. Believe what you will

We are a messed up society to think that a guy going to support someone in tragedy is such a viewpoint.

 

I'll ask someone from the team about this. I never have mentioned it to them only others and they said diggs was a selfish player but wanted everyone to be on his level. A jerk but driven.

My memory is old and frail, so correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Diggs show up to the hospital first. If I remember, coaches and some other players went to the hospital as well, but a little later. If he had waited and gone with the rest, he would have just been part of the group. There's no way to really know, but if my memory is even close, he may have had a little motivation to get there first.

Sure, we can speculate on the motivation to show up on his own. He never really involved himself with the team & fanfare with them for any place he's played.

 

I don't remember it ever getting out who else went; we know Josh didn't for example. One coach stayed behind and a few players visited before the plane returned to Buffalo.

 

One of the bigger reason diggs was noticed was he was blocked by security who had to have someone else who recognized him atest he was a teammate.

sure he will. Remember the pink power on a boat video before the season?  Fool Me once..... may apply here though so maybe he's on a count. 

Well we are gonna find out

I think I saw cutting him is a $9.7M dead cap hit. They can easily take that on this year. I think it's going to depend if they can upgrade on him. 

And what is considered an upgrade i can't imagine the locker room loves his drama

I was working in the Cincy area when that happened. I could have gone to the hospital, but what could I have done? I'm not a doctor and was not staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

I dunno but I wonder if the fact that she went to the police after waiting a while means she got her hands on some actual evidence, like video?  

Guess we'll find out.

Confirmation bias requires the abscence of evidence means there must be powerful evidence like video evidence.

I hope you know what you mean because I sure as shootin' can't parse that - even without wondering if you mean absence or abscess or something else

Thats the story of his career.  I said it when he was here, he’s good, but he doesn’t scare anyone.  He’s a possession WR, he’s not big enough to dominate, not fast enough to take the top off, he’s just a guy that gets open on route running.   He’s good, he’s not special.

Another poster put it succinctly: Playoffs have more physicality than the regular season. Diggs does not do well in the face of physicality.
