RichRiderBills Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Not much looming, apart from he's up for a new deal in 2 years. Diggs has the #5 highest cap hit of any WR in the NFL. He's paid pretty well. We will see if the ridiculous Adams contract sets the market. Would not be the first time the Raiders have gone way off the market and things balanced back out. 28 million per year for WRs who touch the ball 5-10 times per game is not only comical, it's totally unsustainable. If you go back and bring up the historical SB winners and break down how much $ they spend on WRs it does not resonate.

JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I voted pay him, but honestly I’m OK w/ either. If we trade him away, then it better be for a return close to that for Hill or Adams so we can keep Allen’s Arsenal locked, loaded, & ready to go.

Mat68 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I have no problem paying Diggs into his 30s. He loses some speed, slide him into the slot and will beast for a few years too. 1 minute ago, Rico said: Yes. Draft Olave, then win a SB and trade him. What we do at Corner than.

SCBills Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 37 minutes ago, Chicken Boo said: For those who are advocating to trade Diggs after this year, who will be his replacement? The idea here should be to surround Allen with as much talent as possible, not the reverse. We aren't "advocating" for it. We're saying we shouldn't pay him Tyreek Hill money. If that's what he wants, then it's time to move on. Most of us with this opinion are the same ones pounding the table for WR at 25. And if we end up having to trade him next year, we draft another WR high next year. If elite WR's are making mid-level QB money, and we have 40M+ tied up in Allen, we need to be drafting a WR high, minimum, every 2 years. Look what he's done with a RD3 TE and RD4 WR. Give the man a high pick WR for the love of God... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dma0034 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Trade him. But I also wanted the Bills to keep their draft pick and draft Justin Jefferson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love everything about Diggs, his skill set, his relationship with JA and the team but this is probably the correct take. I'd be open to the possibility of resigning him for close to the 20 mil range(which i doubt he would go for) if the Bills don't resign Edmunds. I dont think we can afford both players next year nor do I think its good to have 80% of your cap tied up in a handful of players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Voted to trade him. But that comes with many what if’s. If he wants a Hill type contract? No. If he becomes a Hill type diva? No. If we don’t draft a WR this year to potential replace him? No. If we don’t win a SB this year and have one more year of Diggs in win now mode? No. Every what if changes things.

We lost because Addison/Hughes were the kings of "pressure", no sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I don't think he will be looking for 25M. If we can extend for 20ish then let's get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 The salary cap will go up...salaries will continue to go up. What seems absurd today, will be a bargain a year or two from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't really happen with star players. Next off-season, the only likely options are extend or trade. I see zero scenarios where he plays a lame duck year with the Bills.

You keep talking with him. I have seen nothing that suggests Diggs wouldn’t be willing to work with the Bills to stay put. He has been a great team mate and has not complained publicly about his contract at all. My guess is both your options are wrong. They work out a nice deal to make him happy, but maintain flexibility. Beane seems to be very open and talks to the guys and has a plan - not worried - go win a SB and then deal with things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoteam Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 With 2 years on his contract, lets see where the CAP is at that point. The salary cap might rise enough where a new contract isnt a big deal on the cap in the grand scheme of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
