Yeah, given the talent at WR in FA, especially Adams who Diggs is considered to be in same tier as, I’m sure his agents were in no rush to get it done. Especially knowing full well guys like Williams, Robinson, Kirk we’re gonna set a very high floor for his deal, meaning Diggs is worth more than those guys. But Diggs loves Buffalo…whose taken care of him financially since the day we got him…loves the mafia, loves the locker room, loves winning, and most importantly has an absolute bromance with Allen. So I expect they are gonna look for the right deal for him, but still give Buffalo some sort of discount and also make sure it’s team friendly because Diggs is driven to win. So I’m not that worried to be honest, I’m sure it will get done and Beane will work some magic with it too.

It didn’t say anything about “big money” though

I was speculating $14M when I saw the Williams re-up, but the fact they went out of their way to say “large deal” in the tweet makes me think it could be up there in higher teens range like you just speculated which would be crazy to me.

Is there where I say “I told you so”?

I like it a lot 😁

Foster will have a hard time making that roster. Wish him well, but it’s an uphill battle there for him IMHO.

Makes sense, I figured them, Colts, or Niners were the most likely places. Wish him well, except when he plays us haha

My head is spinning with all these big deals we sat on for the first hour of FA lol

Old news, that was like a week ago

Most important detail is that I somehow beat @YoloinOhio (barely) to post this thread 😂 Moral of the story: Miracles can happen people, don’t give up on your dreams 😂

Rumor is to keep an eye on Chiefs and Buffalo for his landing spot.

This.

Not accurate at all. We have no cap space coming into the off-season and some big holes to fill like CB and DT plus needing help elsewhere. You can’t take up over $8M in cap space (RT money) for what is likely a mediocre starting guard or a backup G/T when you have cap space issues. This move always seemed probable given our cap issues and Williams projected role this next season. It’s not an indicator that a big signing is happening. Doesn’t mean we won’t make a big signing, but just saying this was always a strong possibility regardless who we sign. Personally I think it’s also quite possible he returns as a depth OL guys who can backup G or T. Depends what kind of market there is for him though.

From what I’ve read, Bills could get out of it after next year if it wasn’t working out. And we can always redo his deal as well, and I would suspect that if we did trade for him that discussion about that would be done before we did. Personally I still think it’s more plausible we end up with Barkley. But the CMC trade is more doable than people think.

I miss that thread 😂

LMAO I came to post the same thing hahaha, glad I checked

I think we need to pin a thread that says CMC would ONLY cost $8M against the cap this year because people still mistakenly think his cap hit would be $17M. CMC at $8M this year is an entirely different conversation than $17M. Not to mention, just trading Beasley will free up most the cap space needed to absorb CMC. Not saying we are going to do it, but so many people have this false narrative of what CMC would cost in trade against the cap.

GOOD. Thats the better approach as far as I am concerned.

Gallup was probably just happy they finally committed to him given they had him and Cooper and still drafted Lamb. Good deal for both parties. If he out performs the deal, they can probably work something out down the road. But this seems like a fair deal for both parties IMHO.

CMC only has an $8m cap hit this year, so trading Beasley and his contract already clears way for most of that salary

Glad he’s back, although I always thought there was a chance he would back, so not that surprising either

How is this possible, I was told he was for sure gone right here on TSW because they decoded that out of something he said on social media lmao

Yes simply because most of the expectations around here border on the line of delusional and ridiculous.

Yeah, weird to say the least...couldn't believe they tagged Njoku lol. They don't really even use him much. I bet Njoku wasn't thrilled about it either

And this is exactly what I have been saying and why it was not realistic he would be signed by us, because he would be at least a $12M guy most likely, and could see $14M per after the Mike Williams extension along with Adams and Godwin getting tagged.
