Buffalo716 Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Laughing Coffin said: thanks for assisting my point? Reggie Wayne was a good receiver like Diggs is. Diggs is actually better individually than Wayne. Look at Wayne's stats decline post being teamed up with Harrison and in his 30s. He's not and never has been an elite WR that couldn't be schemed out of games. With a top QB like Allen, I don't see the desire to spend 20m+ on a WR into his 30s. We should be living in the day 2 of the draft looking for WR talent to allow Allen to elevate The dude went for 1300 at 34 and is gonna be a HoFr Diggs can play at a high level for at least 4 years Edited March 29, 2022 by Buffalo716 Quote

Buftex Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems like it could be headed that way. But, not for 2022. 1 Quote
Brand J Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) If a WR is drafted within the first two rounds this year and proves he can play, next offseason may be very interesting! Diggs no doubt probably wants in the neighborhood of what Adams and Hill got and that’s not possible. An $8M bump to “only” $25M/yr may not be possible. Too many contracts are coming due in the next couple years. Edited April 4, 2022 by JayBaller10 Quote

aristocrat Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 Beane needs to hit on 3 starters in the next 2 drafts and we have no issue keeping him. If not we need to think about trading him. Quote
warrior9 Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 I guess based on what happened this off-season, it's fair to speculate that anyone (except Josh) can be traded. This is just Whaley trying to stay relevant. Quote

Whaley also didn't have Pegula bucks. Definitely true. The cap getting a huge increase will help dramatically. Hopefully Diggs will be wanting to stay in Buffalo & not pull a Tyreek, leaving behind a great QB & contending for SBs in favor of just money. Obviously making more money is important, but being a key member of a good organization that contends for SBs seems more enjoyable than wasting away on the Jets or Texans or something. $25 million/yr on the Jags vs $19 million/yr on the Chiefs/Bills/Bucs/Rams/Bengals.... seems like a no-brainer to me.

newcam2012 Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 I might be in the minority here. I think a Diggs trade is a real possibility. Don't get me wrong I love Diggs and what he brings to the team. Last year, I thought he wasn't as dominate as the previous year. Many games he was a non factor probably due to double teams. He still is an elite number 1 receiver. However, a trade should be considered depending on what the Bills draft and how Davis and others develop. I believe Allen is good enough to win without Diggs. That money can be utilized to bolster the Oline, replace him, and running game. If the price is right I think Beane pulls the trigger. No one thought Adams or Hill would be traded so why not Diggs? Qbs make receivers. Wrs don't make QBs. Quote

Greg S Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 Not this year. The Miller signing is proof the Bills are going all in to win it this year. Trading Diggs wouldn't make sense for a win now team. 2 2 Quote
That's No Moon Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 I wouldn't be shocked and Im also not sure it wouldn't be the right move depending on what comes back. Given his age, what his contract demands are sure to be, and the wall that lots of WRs hit around 30 I don't think we want to be the team to write his next contract. If he can be turned into another WR with more years of cheap team control I think that needs to be explored. Quote

Matt_In_NH Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 This does not seem impossible. Yes pure speculation but it would not shock me.....given what else has happened with WR's in recent years. Quote
GolfandBills Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 He’s probably more right than wrong with his take. It’s going to be tough to keep him. Common theme this off-season is the top paid QBs are losing their #1 receivers Quote
