I bet he's at a point where he's like "let's see if people are so crazy, I can have them making assumptions by posting a single word".

He posted a ♥️ before posting the oh so controversial "ready for watever" tweet. Posting a heart in conjunction with that would be a funny way of saying he didn't like the move, if that's what you're reading into it. Again. "ready for watever" can mean literally anything. It can even be a positive thing. He can be looking at the addition of Samuel and the upcoming season and saying he's ready for whatever anyone throws at us. Or he could be going out on the town somewhere for the night and saying he's "ready for watever". Pretty sure CBS is wrong about his changing his background too. I feel like I've been looking at that one for a while now. It's much ado about nothing. Sunday at 4PM, we're handing him a check for 18.5m. No way we're doing that (capped or uncapped) for the privilege of him not working for it. So if something is to happen, which I find extremely unlikely, we'll know very soon.

I totally agree. The juxtaposition between this and then this... ... is jarring.

This one did not go well when it came to DT. Everytime I was on the clock, the value for DT absolutely wasn't there. And I'd never take Nubin fist. But the rankings they have on PFN at WR are so broken, it's better to address Safety first.

I'd recommend watching the entire interview and not just what's taken out of context:

I'll even take it a step further.... Hearing what he wants to hear to push the narrative he needs to be traded - because he wants a scenario where we have the ability to Draft 2 WR's this year instead of 1. That's the real motivation. And for others, it's because he dropped the ball in KC. Or they just don't like his personality. That's the real issue. They're motivated for it to mean he doesn't want to be here because they want him gone.

When? You literally just rehashed an old interview with one part taken out of context. In THAT VERY interview, he called Josh his brother and said he doesn't want to leave. "Sometimes when there's smoke there's fire"? He was not talking about whether or not he wants to be here. He was talking about it from the perspective of Beane possibly choosing to trade him. Which Beane then addressed at the Combine saying he doesn't. I'm looking at what's ACTUALLY said. You're hearing what you want to hear to push a narrative.

Because of exactly what you and opinion pieces like CBS are doing! He sees the nonsense. He sees people saying "oh, maybe Beane wants to trade him". He chose to shut it down.

The difference is - he wasn't even asked about Stefon Diggs. He didn't have to even bring him or "the situation" up. He said that completely unprompted. He went out of his way to say "he's going to be here and we're happy to have him". Literally EVERYTHING is taken out of context to push a narrative. They're called "cryptic comments" for a reason. These aren't concrete statements. These are opinions pushed as fact.

And here was Beane talking to Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah after that during the Combine Broadcast:

I don't think they can get higher than 5. 1-3 seem locked in on QB to me. Going to be really hard to convince Arizona to pass on Marvin Harrison Jr. and they have 2 picks in Round 1 already. Sure, they could have 3. But at the cost of MHJ (as well as Nabers and most likely Odunze)? I doubt it. So I think they're looking at 5 as their ceiling, having to grab QB4. Probably 11, 23, and 108 for 5 and 37.

Posting a random tweet that could mean anything is giving the Bills a middle finger? Fact is - young players across the NFL post random, weird stuff all the time. Take Rasul Douglas for example. Ever looked at his Twitter? The difference between Diggs and other people is he's a Superstar. Your run of the mill NFL player posts something random - no one cares. Mega star Diggs tweets something and everyone loses their minds and the media runs nuts with it.

I'm not against Simmons. Certainly wouldn't be "spiting me" to bring him in. I just think he's going to be a Calvin Ridley type situation for the Safety position, wherein his number is significantly more than others (save for, maybe, Xavier McKinney). It wouldn't shock me at all if he got more than what Arik Armstead got. And I've heard him talked about with a number of teams who have a lot of money still.

Unless there's a Beane After Dark - looking like today is the first day since Tampering opened where we don't do anything. Monday - Re-signs AJ Epenesa, Daquan Jones, and Cam Lewis Tuesday - Signs Nicholas Morrow Wednesday - Signs Mack Hollins Thursday - Signs Curtis Samuel, Re-Signs Ty Johnson

And Blackmon's also more of a Strong Safety than a Free Safety. My feeling is that Taylor Rapp is pegged for Strong. Guys like Justin Simmons and Qandre Diggs feel a little older than I feel like we're looking at (and Simmons is going to be super expensive). I feel like we're getting into slim pickens department at Safety. Maybe an Ashtyn Davis or a Mike Edwards? Starting to feel more and more like a Round 2 scenario with a lesser known vet FA.

Yeah, Hollins is a different kind of cat. He went viral for walking around town barefoot. I enjoyed watching his interview. Definitely an interesting personality.

I simply don't understand why you want this so badly. Even if we were to entertain the idea that this is more of a possibility than it actually is - did you not see what Keenan Allen, Diontae Johnson, and Jerry Jeudy got in return on MUCH lesser contracts? This idea that we'd get even CLOSE to the value you think we'd get is even more unrealistic than a trade happening. No one is taking on that kind of contract for a 30 year old WR and giving us more than a Day 3 pick.

Not yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was more than we expect. Joe Marino hypothesized that they may have plans to start him at Nose Tackle.

In the context of reading Moulds, I thought you meant Josh Reed 😂 In a day and a half, we hand Diggs 18.5m in cash. Capped or not, there's no way we're paying him 18.5m for him not to be here. I'd doubt this. If someone like Lombardi was "adamant" that he's on the market, there'd be reports everywhere. Doing a search on this, that 1 random guy is literally the only one who says that happened.

Sherfield, no way. But I am interested to see if any of the Tim Settle, Tyrel Dodson, or Poona Ford deals qualify. Baffled that someone felt Settle was worth 2 years, 7m based on his time here.

Me too. What if Josh Allen tears his knee in Week 1? Now you've given up your only reward for a lost season to get MHJ instead of another highly rated WR in a deep and talented class - who like other WR's taken lower than the highest rated prospect, could end up being the better NFL WR. The thing that gets me is "I'm ready for watever" could mean LITERALLY anything. Diggs posts WAY more on Social Media about things in his day to day life than he does Football. He also posted a heart emoji before that. Even if it is Football, who's to say he's not saying he's feeling good about our chances now that he's got Samuel next to him and is ready for that? I just love how he tweets something that is essentially nothing and then a bunch of people are like "I'm so sick of him, he needs to stfu" 😂

He's not. He's got one year left on his contract in Minnesota, with a cap hit of 8.83m I like Harrison. But unless he's released, it doesn't make much sense to me to give up a Draft Pick and pay that much for him. I mean, that's months from now. Maybe they wait and see what's around then. But there's no real point in setting up deals now or even a few weeks before. No player is going to pass on solid offers for something they can't put pen to paper to. At most it would be a "if you're still available when we have the money, we'll give you a call".

Never. The top rated prospect at a given position often doesn't become the best NFL player. Imagine if the Vikings gave up a King's Bounty to trade up and take the 1st WR instead of sitting pat and Drafting the 5th WR taken in Justin Jefferson. This class is so deep and talented, it's not worth giving up that much for a higher rated prospect. We did that once before and gave up a 1st+ to Draft Sammy Watkins when we could have kept that and Drafted Odell Beckham Jr. And not only do you not know what the future holds for Draft prospects, you don't know where we'll be picking next year. God forbid, Josh could tear his ACL in Week 1. Then we end up with a Top 5 pick that we don't even have.
