I'd like to see a list of WR Trade targets we could realistically afford

This would be fine with me. He produced at a solid level in only 8 games in 2022

Chinn or Brandon Jones. Either would be a nice pickup. DT Roach seems good too

+7500 to +1000 shift doesn’t happen unless they actually know something

They are much much more fortunate that’s for sure. Everything goes their way when it matters

saw a clip of him working out the other day…. he’s just different. Can still be elite for a few more seasons IMO

The rest of the AFC will be going into hiding when the Bills leave Round 1 with Brian Thomas Jr & Troy Franklin 🙊💣💥

nuclear meltdown here and rightfully so

😂🤣 as I said…it’s the emotional aspect! you’ve stooped down to my level from the Hopkins thread😂😁 it’s not “WE CAN’T MOVE HIM!” Just depends whether one or both parties want to

don’t the Texans and Bills have multiple guys in their front offices that have also been in the other? Would explain Jerry Hughes and Singletary

Michael Pittman Jr?! They are buddies and worked out together in Orange County Cali. Probably out of our price range but never know.

Someone knows something

this would be even further proof that the “CAN’T MOVE HIM!” Crowd is way off base. I’m thinking it’s the emotional aspect of it. I mean, I’ve loved the guy since 2020 too

it’s okay, we’ll have 23 and 28🫢😂 do it baby!😏🙃

adding two potential 21 year old difference makers in the draft is anything except short sighted my friend. Josh Allen and Diggs also BOTH said they don’t know what the future holds if I recall. They aren’t going to air their dirty laundry to the media. 99% of pro athletes won’t ever until at least after it’s over with Pegula has to pay him $$$ no matter. If he can save 18.5 million dollars by moving on from a player that may want to leave…. there are multiple people on here, one especially who have proven track records of 100% accuracy on team news who have shared what they’ve heard regarding Diggs. It ain’t pretty. Oh and KC traded Tyreek Hill within the conference and they weren’t scared. If he can be moved in the AFC, any WR can be

yes you have dead cap hits, but you’re also saving $ and IF IF IF there are real issues, fractured relationships, negative attitudes behind the scenes….you’re moving on from that too PLUS adding draft capital IMO the way most are approaching this situation is like we’re paying huge amounts of additional $$$ penalty if he’s off the team. That’s not it at all. He’s being paid no matter what. But, we’d actually save money and cap space by moving him (unless I’m completely ignorant and if so I apologize haha) Professional sports teams move on from contracts all the time and still pay $ to the coaches or players years after the fact. Obviously it’s not ideal, but it can help your team in multiple ways too

I’ve got trauma from the idea of drafting anyone on defense in Round 1

Considering the above, I’ll go ahead and guess…. Diggs + 2025 3rd + 2024 6th to Houston For 23rd overall Bills going into the draft with 23 & 28 gives us the chance to get pretty high if we wanted Nabers. Perhaps a move up from 23 to Seattle at 16 to ensure Brian Thomas Jr. Or maybe you even hit the jackpot by staying at those picks and landing Thomas Jr + Troy Franklin IMO it comes down to what the actual relationship is between the Bills and Allen with Diggs. If the Bills don’t like what’s going on behind the scenes…. Or Diggs may have said to them he’d prefer to be elsewhere…. Then 60/40 he’s traded because Pegula saves a bucket of physical cash & the team gets rid of a headache (in theory!!!) I’m not in the organization and have no way of knowing what actually goes on with Diggs Josh Allen is not the kind of person to throw a team mate under the bus in the media. Even if he actually wanted a fresh start from Diggs….no one would know about it. Maybe not even Beane or Sean. & yes I agree he could absolutely tear it up if a legit player is added to help him

But…you’re paying $ regardless? So it comes down to how much both sides want to continue this the way I’m viewing this is: 27.8 million cap = Diggs on the team. Cool. Maybe he’s still elite WR1. But, there’s risk his attitude is a negative or his play declines 18.1 million cap = Diggs traded for 9.7 million cap savings + valuable asset gained + fresh start for Josh Allen

So wait, his current cap hit is 27.8 mil and a trade pre 6/1 frees up 9.7 mil in cap space this year? Am I looking at that right? If Terry Pegula is saving 18.5 million in actual cash & the Bills are gaining cap space of 9.7 this year, 14.8 in 2025 and 21 mil in 2026…. IMO those things make a trade before 3/17 much more likely than originally thought

Am I correct that a Trade of Diggs (pre 3/17 when he’s due 18.5 mil in cash) would cost us only an extra 3.25 or 3.5 mil in addition to his current hit against the cap this year? Can someone please verify or give the correct figures? Thanks If this is the case, it’s not unreasonable to think 1.) the Bills would eat an extra 3-4 mil this year (and yes 20+mil next year) if both sides feel it’s time to move on 2.) a team with a lot of cap like HOU or CHI might be willing to part with a 1st round pick in exchange for Diggs + mid + late round picks & pay him the $

what are you going to say IF he gets traded🤣

Hadn’t even thought of him. Interesting at least

Win. We add our own versions of Justin Jefferson lite + a few inches with more speed & DK Metcalf a few inches shorter (Steve Smith thinks Legette can be better than Metcalf)

it would be a massive bonus if he made decent contributions to the team.
