JESSEFEFFER Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Ross Tucker had a "Tucker's Take" where he referenced tweets from "numerous AFL" insiders that claimed the timing was due to Diggs threatening to opt out. He seems to believe it. Diggs using the COVID-19 opt out option as leverage and the Bills caving or the Bills honoring an agreement made ~5 months ago and could only make it official the day before the opt out deadline? That's a huge difference in the narrative.
JESSEFEFFER Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Sort of similar to the Antonio Brown story, I'd think the Bills would want to push back against the Ross Tucker story if it;'s a widely held view. It would not play well in the locker room. It's much better to say that the Bills kept their agreement than that they caved to a negotiation ploy. They are headed toward some really important negotiations in the next few years.
