For those worried about pegulas and building things especially comparing it to the sabres, also compare it to the harbor center and how far youth hockey/development of hockey there has come Not just the coaches that have been there (kevyn Adams now sabres gm, Mike peca started his coaching career there now with the new York rangers amongst others) players and early draft picks are just starting to pick up (had a first rounder and a third rounder this last draft) So maybe there is a bunch of turn over in high rank positions but everything the pegulas do seems very calculated and thought out. Not always the right moves but confident they have a plan

Didn't the pegulas buy adpro a few years ago and kept Ron on in his same position as it transitions into a pse company?

The right circumstances would be trading him for multiple players that would be so cheap contractually that they off set diggs disgusting dead cap hit Basically trading diggs for another teams version of diggs

My biggest complaint with the offense was lack of adjustment, for example teams started to disregard the run game and have their front four pass rush seemingly every down no matter what; play action/rpo it didn't matter (Miami) Where was the adjustment to that?

Yep, trying to bring it back to an in house ordeal Good news is that diggs and McDermott/organization agree on that being the correct way to handle things

"it got to the point where we needed a break" = it was starting to or was heated

And if you add in the timing of the question, first as he is sitting down. It led to a very casual response, almost like he was just chatting with a friend in the hallway

Any opinion on the wording "very concerned" based off the question that was asked was "how concerned are you?"

Regarding a trade, diggs is on the team this season no matter what. His dead cap is too much

That's what I would suspected but wonder if the wording in the contract is a bit ambiguous and the agent as well as diggs are playing around with some wording Which is what worries me about the situation, a big if but if they are at this level of pettiness already it's not a good sign for either side

this tweet tells me him showing up was strictly contractual, since the agent is all about McDermott's statement making it seem diggs didn't report How this is being handled it could get very ugly very fast

Maybe diggs is trying to get the bills to up their offer to Hopkins Like I'm upset you better go and get an insurance policy

Gotta be contract related, probably has to be able to pass physicals or take physicals at certain times for his contract

This is what I was afraid of, he is here rather he likes it or not Ideally what ever is going on isn't a big deal and he is back ready to win a Superbowl soon

What are the cap ramifications of trading diggs?

This could very well be why he was here for the physical

Did it ring to voicemail or did he decline the call?

This is what I'm thinking, guy was at headquarters yesterday and then no shows today. That's not normal Add in that a coach that keeps things close to the vest says he is concerned Something doesn't add up

This is a strange situation

I'm assuming this frees up money/cap space this season (hopefully to sign a player that will be a contributor this season) Very surprised that this happened now, think it will work out though. The contract on the initial look, appears to be one that can be very manipulated to free up space going forward. 4 years 68 million with 45 guaranteed. Likely will have the opportunity each season to restructure and get his cap hit down

Not really sure where I mentioned beane and needing the top 53 in the NFL but Beane obviously agrees with my statement in upgrading the receiving options as he tried to sign obj, trade for Hopkins and drafted Kincaid in round one

Fans don't actually believe gabe Davis is a number 2 receiver do they? Could he eventually develop into one, of course But number 2 receiver needs to be improved if the bills want to be a super bowl winner At this point it's hoping Davis improves a good amount to become a 2, so if a receiver is available that can be the bills number 2 you need to be interested

If you can get him signed, you get him signed. Guy instantly improves every receiver on the team

Philly would have a crazy offense

Once this thread hits 300 pages Hopkins will sign with buffalo
