Diggs unfollows Buffalo, follows Cowgirls 🤷‍♂️

This is why I can’t stand these players who whine about contracts. They complain and moan, get what they want and complain and moan. 
 

stfu.

He unfollowed the Bills last year and deleted all the pics related to the Bills.  

 

Then he signed a deal to stay in Buffalo to the end of his career despite all this panic around here he wanted out of Buffalo to go to Dallas last year.  

 

So yeah, non-story until I see something that tells me there is a story.

 

Uh, yeah. That was clearly a power move by Diggs to tell the Bills he is willing to move on if they don't give him the money he wants. Magically he got a $100M extension.

 

You thought that was coincidental? lol

[Cheektowaga Chad]

My guess is in the next week or two he will be advertising some product on his social media/Instagram

 

You get paid by clicks & views now a days what better way to drastically up your views in an advertisement negotiation than drumming up some drama

Should he stay or should he go now?  If he goes there will be trouble.  And if he stays it will be double.

I said this board all said it was because he was trying to make his way to Dallas last year.  Did you miss that point or just ignore it?  Point was, this boards panic was wrong, and Diggs remained a Bill and did so in a way to stay to the end of his career.

 

So all this other panic now that he suddenly wants out is just fan noise until I see something indicating he is trying to get out of Buffalo.  And I would bet good money Diggs and his agent are fully aware his big extension last year makes trading him nearly impossible from a cap stand point for the Bills during their pursuit of a Super Bowl.

His instagram is all about fashion, men’s purses, artsy stuff. 
 

WRs are annoying.

The board wasn't wrong though. Diggs didn't remove those pictures because he was bored. He removed them to SEND A MESSAGE during contract talks.

 

And he did this today to send a message as well.

Ignoring that message is foolhardy, in my opinion.

Everyone relax.

Problem is that this draft stinks overall, but it especially stinks at the WR position. It's also a bad FA class for WRs. All the best college wideouts were freshmen or sophomores. If Diggs forces a trade, the Bills will have to take a major step backward next year and hope for a premiere WR in the 2024 draft.

Idk. Mahomes did just fine without Hill. If Diggs were to go (which he won’t) I think Buffalo will accentuate the running game more which would be a good thing. Sign a guy like Fournette, draft a few maulers for the line, and see what happens. 

[BuffaloRebound]

The man has an insatiable need for attention.  Good thing he’s a good dude because otherwise there’s a bit of an Antonio Brown vibe there.

Yeah, the message wasn't that he wanted out though, that is the point.  He wanted to get an extension, yet this board speculated he was trying to force his way out of Buffalo, and they were wrong about that.  

 

And now, the board is again speculating he is trying to force his way out of Buffalo.  You realize this whole thread title is not even accurate?  He didn't unfollow Buffalo and then follow Dallas like the thread title implies.  He has been following Dallas because of his brother.  

 

That is the kind of stuff I am talking about.  Creating panic before the full info is known.  So I will wait until there is something actually factual and confirmed before I start to panic.  Especially given its not mathematically possible to trade Diggs anyway, so something MUCH more substantial than unfollowing someone IG is going to have to happen before there is any chance of a Diggs trade.

 

So yeah...until something significant happens to say otherwise, its a non-story just like the possibility of Diggs getting traded last year to Dallas was a non-story.

Yup. Give me a 1st for him and sayonara. Plenty of good WRs in this draft. Open up some cap space at the same time.

Rolling out a rookie, davis, shakur, McK. We would be in for a very rough season. 

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Bills should trade him to Dallas, but get his brother in return to troll him

Not suggesting that this where things are, but can't a contract be restructured in a way to facilitate a trade (and then the acquiring team makes an adjustment after the trade)?

 

That would not help because in a trade the dead cap is almost always from money that has already been paid to a player. A team would have to recoup money from the player to get the dead cap off of their books - and good luck with that.

 

The Diggs contract is interesting though. He was given a $21.5M signing bonus last year. If traded the remaining $17.2M would hit as dead cap. He also has a fully guaranteed option bonus of $16M due between 3/15/23 & 3/21/23. His salary and bonuses are about $8.4M this season. If traded before the option bonus is paid the Bills would get hit with $17.2M in dead cap and have a net loss of $8.8M in cap space. After the option bonus is paid you’d add $16M to both numbers, which means $33.2M in dead cap and $24.8M net loss of cap space. While it would not be a great situation, he is tradeable prior to the option payment. After, not at all.

Brilliant...he either wants to stay or he wants to go. What other options are there?

Thanks for ignoring the details about what I said. IF he wants to stay, this is an unnecessary distraction and a poor decision. That's my big point. Is there another reasonable explanation for Diggs doing this that involves him wanting him to remain a Buffalo Bill?

Methinks some of these players like to play head games with fans with their social media. Funny how many try to make something out of it. Entertaining to say the least.
