Kyle hurt, but Tre White getting cut this off-season was worse for me. Probably worse than Diggs.

No question there will be less talent than with Diggs in the team. But. It is clear he wasn’t happy here and that the relationship was breaking down pretty badly. That can drag down production and create issues within the team. Also long term the team gains back $19M in cash and cap space as well as Minnesota’s 2025 second round pick. Realistically how many more quality seasons does he have left? Years ago he was a top 4 WR, then he was a top 8 before this past season when he was top 16. He’ll likely fall off a bit more in 2024. Bummer about the screen name. I know a lot of fans are taking this hard.

I'd go so far as to say Allen likely did more than bless it.

I said it when we signed Samuel, he's the Diggs replacement. Same style of Z/Y WR. We could've managed this season with Diggs, Samuel and a rookie sharing the load at X, but Samuel was going to take over for Diggs sooner or later. We needed an X before we traded Diggs and we need one now. Likewise my hope that the Bills will take a WR early and then another later hasn't changed.

The truth is like poetry. No one likes poetry.

Good observation

My 18 year old daughter remains inconsolable.

Me too. Big difference between Minny’s 2nd rounder and Houston’s IMO.

I didn’t say that. I said that this is his age 31 season.

He will be 31 in November. Most would consider 2024 his “age 31 season”. For example, Spotrac does.

Something I pointed out prior to this is that there are two ways to look at the cap impact. One is the immediate, where Diggs’ cap hit is about $4M higher this season if traded. The other is that the overall cap impact would be $19M higher to keep him in 2024. It hurts this season but opens up things next. Side note: The Bills aren’t paying Diggs anything this season. The cap hit is from money they already paid him.

Gave it a B. I think Beane did very well to get Minnesota’s 2025 2nd round pick. That team has talent, but no QB. Barring another move they will be rolling with Sam Darnold or a rookie.

They’ve been working on trading Diggs for a while now. According to a football writer I know who was in Vegas for SB week, the Bills trying to trade Diggs was THE big rumor among teams.

Apparently the cap hit is more manageable than he is on this roster. Not a surprise to some of us.

If that’s really what you think, then you should stop lambasting people who question Allen’s change in off-season regimen and say that he should work harder to improve and stay sharp. No one here has said that the rest of the roster or coaching should not be doing the same.

Why do you pretend that this is an “either-or” situation? The team leaders set the standards and expectations. Among players Allen is far and away the Bills’ most influential leader.

This brings up a good question. Are we supposed to draft like we would or like we think the team will?

First or second round. Zay Jones

1. Browns 2. Commanders 3. Patriots Thanks for running this, Virgil.

Can’t believe that I looked this up for this board. Many theories but no real evidence of a specific person or composite.

The terms of the PSL transaction would seem simple enough to clarify. I’ll wait and see how it all plays out. And tens of thousands of fans should not all need lawyers for that.

The pricing will come out. My issue is with the specifics on how the PSLs work. There is a ton of misinformation out there now because it’s not being explained. I am sure that it will be put in the fine print in legalese at the last minute. The result will be that a lot of people will buy them without understanding what they bought. I lived in Cleveland when they got their last stadium and it is what happened there. I’ve watched for it in other cities since and it seems to be the playbook NFL teams use.

Carter did not crash his car. He was racing with the woman who did. She was way over the legal BAC limit when she crashed her car, killing herself and one of her passengers. Same stupid drag racing, less serious results for Rice. Carter still has a huge lawsuit against him.

That is not thought to be true. IIRC the Scrooge character was based on Dickens’ father. Thus the two very different versions of him in the story. Scrooge’s treatment of his workers was a social and political statement regarding the (mis)treatment of the working class which was seen as very disposable at the time.

The only real issue I have will this entire situation is the obfuscation by of important information. I have zero issue with capitalism - businesses setting prices for their goods and services and customers making decisions on whether or not to buy them. But it is not right when a business purposefully misleads its customers by withholding information about the transaction. And while caveat emptor certainly applies, it’s still very shady. And it seems to be standard operating procedure for the introduction of PSLs.
