BillsMafi$ Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 Vikings would have to eat 9 million if they did trade him. Hard to really see them trading him but seems like he really does not want to be in Minny

We would be fools to not be all over this. I agree, he'd immediately be our #1 wr and we could still draft a wr either first or 3rd. Only 26 and the contract is not overwhelmingly.

But I think there’s more to it and I’m always hesitant when the cap is used as a reason for otherwise illogical personnel moves. Not that it doesn’t happen, but teams usually have a lot of options to get out of SC hell without selling talent for pennies on the dollar. 1

They need cap space and it’s the best WR class in years to replace him cheap. I don’t think he’s a huge fan of Cousins either so maybe a change Of scenery would be good for him Edited February 19, 2020 by YoloinOhio 2

I would think they'd want the bidding to start at a 1st.

Doc Brown Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Just now, whatdrought said: I don’t hate the idea, but there’s a lot of red flags. - why is a team wanting to give up its best weapon? - what differentiates him from other diva receivers we’ve seen moved lately? (Moves that at the time seemed like no-brainers for the buyers, but turned out to be huge wins for the sellers) - is he going to want more money? If so, how much? - is it better to trade commodities and pay him as opposed to getting someone in this loaded draft class? Cook is pry their best weapon but salary cap reasons come into play. He doesn't punch nets or call GM's crackers. He's making around 14.4 million a year so that puts him just outside the top 10 in terms of average annual salary. We have the cap space to maybe sweeten the contract a little. I'd rather go with a proven commodity. 1

SCBills Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Just now, That's No Moon said: Josh doesn't call the plays. Brown and Beasley put up some of their best numbers of their career. That’s with Josh spending 90% of the season unable to calibrate his deep ball. I’m not too worried about Diggs getting targets in our offense. 1 2
YoloinOhio Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Just saw him at Duffs on Sheridan, not gonna lie 8 1 1
LEBills Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Really talented player. I think he wants his contract re-done, so we would have to give him new guaranteed money like when we got Shady. We are getting close enough to really contending that it may be worth it if it’s just a 2nd round pick

He's angry with the Vikings because they are now a run heavy offense and they don't throw him the ball enough. How exactly would coming here solve that problem for him? He wound up being unhappy to the tune of 94 targets and 1130 yds. I think there's stuff that's overblown. I don't think the trade gets made, personally. They lose Diggs, who was their #1 WR this past year and close #2 the year before. They eat $9M in cap and only save $5.5M. No point. But if it were true? Go for it in a heartbeat unless they're something we don't know that precludes (like they think he couldn't master Daboll's offense or something) 1
Inigo Montoya Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 I know that Beane values draft picks, but I don't know how you pass this up for a 2nd rounder if he can get it done. As another wise poster noted above, there is a learning curve for the WR position for most coming out of college and I don't think it's a pie in the sky statement to to say that the Bills are entering a window where they can compete for a Championship with Allen still on his rookie contract. To bring in a polished elite WR right now with no learning curve would be huge for this roster. 3
