Diggs NOT at mandatory minicamp, McDermott "very concerned" DAY 2 UPDATE: He's back

[Dablitzkrieg]

Everyone settle down.  Divas like attention

Tasker suggested that if Diggs isn't there it might actually help the team, as other receivers will get more reps.  The fine is 16K for today?  The guy has a 96 million dollar contract.  That would be like me having to pay 50 cents to skip work.

Maybe Diggs isn’t satisfied that they have done enough to help him out at Wr2?

Maybe he has another photoshoot of some trendy clothes to model for everyone.. 

 

I don’t know, I really thought he would be there today..

He is still unbunching his undies.  Should have them on soon.

I hope Josh Allen goes to meet with Diggs at his house after practice. 

Logically, there is either an issue between them or the coaching staff. Perhaps both.

 

You would have thought that Josh would have worked things out with Diggs by now.

Grab a number, Stef.

People need to relax.   Give it time.  I’m sure there’s something going on in his personal life that needs attention.  

If there was a serious issue at hand, Diggs could of at least given the team a heads up/excuse…McD’s response suggests he did neither…Not only is it unprofessional, but most certainly not the actions you would expect from a captain…

Josh Allen needs to go talk with Diggs..... 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

There's got to be some unresolved conflict between he and Josh.

His brother(not Travon) was involved in some serious legal trouble.  Not sure if this is related to him not showing up at camp, just throwing that out there.  

 

Then McD wouldn’t have called it “concerning.”

I think it's mostly this. And a bit of McD being soft.

 

At the MNF game, Diggs was the only player getting ready to re-take the field and pumping his teammates up before McD pulled the plug.

 

At the Cincy playoff game, Diggs was one of maybe 3 players (Milano and kinda Edmunds) that showed up to play.

 

I think he wants more fire from the coach. Plus a different Offensive philosophy.

 

Again, totally guessing.

He won't be a captain if this goes on for too much longer!

[FireChans]

At least we have some really good outside WR depth. 
 

Oh wait, that was 2020.

You'd hope so. But, who knows? It's likely they haven't seen each other since the end of the Bengals game

Most of the time teams don't talk to player before restructuring because it's built into their contract that they can do it and it is highly beneficial to the player since they get more money upfront, so what would they be upset about?

 

Right, that is what I am saying. Haha 

I included that portion because in the mini-camp thread somebody replied to me that Diggs had to sign off on a restructure. I didn't want to re-hash it over here. 

My point about reaching out to Diggs was that we knew we would be totally handcuffed to him with a restructure. And we know the way he behaved to end the season and his series of super weird and cryptic tweets. It would be professional due diligence in this scenario to try and get a reality check. 

All I take from him not showing up today (even if he shows up tomorrow), his offseason oddities, and the way he ended last season is that Diggs is willing to blow this season up if he becomes unhappy. 

[Simon Says]

Is there really some problem or offense disfunction that he is bringing to light? Does he have a point?

IMO, yes.

Like Diggs needs camp 🤣

 

And he'll be right out there with the starters the day he shows up.

Diggs may not "need" camp. But if he was as big of a "competitor who wants to win" maybe showing up and working with his team and the new faces in the WR room is a better way to accomplish that. It's kinda how a team captain may be looked at to perform. 

 

Stef is being all about Stef. Not he team. Not winning. Not improving. He's had months to get over any squabble he had with coaching or Allen or whatever else has his knickers in a bunch.  Did his photo shoots get in the way?
