When your head coach is saying he is "very concerned" that his star WR is not at a MANDATORY minicamp, and the last time we saw him he was screaming at the franchise QB and storming out of the locker room before the coaches even got in there to address the team, and he removed references to the Bills from social media.

 

Then yes, it's unreasonable to say you need MORE information. 

 

There is enough information here to convict him in a court of law for goodness sakes.

This is just who Diggs is.  If things don’t go his way in the regular season he’ll behave like a baby again.  We saw his best but usually people revert back to who they are.  

[BillsSbSoon]

Worst case scenario what are the options? The cap hit would be massive he can’t be traded. It’s either sit out or show up 

[CaliBills]

I will say this - if Diggs is bitter about being on the Bills due to last year and doesn't AGAIN like his fit in the offense. 

Then the Bills should tell him, restructure your deal now so we can trade you.  (note - not sure if his contract can be restructured again or not)

 

Diggs will then be committing career suicide and GM's/Coaches will see now that it is a pattern of this behavior.  Not saying a team wouldn't play him, but there will be a major red flag that will follow him around.

That is true. But to me, he is still a kid... wish I was 30 still.

 

We need to end this thread.

 

@mods - this is getting off the rails. Until the real news is released please end thread.

The night before the Cincy game is one thing and apparantly that has been resolved amongst friends. But showing up to Mandatory camp with "substance" in medical test, having words with the GM etc at same appointment is not a good thing.

Do you actually have a source for this “information” or is it just unsubstantiated rumor and speculation?  Enlighten us.

Gotta be coaching, imo.

 

I think he's still upset that Dorsey & McD refused to get him the ball when the team needed a spark the most. Feels like he's sending a message of "If you dont think I'm that important to our success, look at what you have on the field without me". And again, this isnt about him getting touches as much as not being relied on or called upon when the team could use his contribution the most.

 

I'm just guessing but there really cant be much else.

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..

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.

Diggs met with McDermott and the GM... is that standard (I honestly don't know) for a marquee player to meet with the GM before camp starts?

I think Diggs is not happy about the direction of the team. He wants to win and knows there is a short window. Meeting with the GM is telling of that.

 

It could be issues with Dorsey. It could be an issue with not getting help at WR2. It could be attitude - "if nobody else cares why should I" "you dont care what I have to say then I am clearly not that important". 

 

Bottom line Diggs wants to win. I am not sure he sees anything the Bills are doing to be the same all in attitude. It can look more like what we call the process- reward our guys and be competitive so we have jobs for many years.

That's understandable (that to some people 30 is quite young).

 

But in the NFL, 30  years is old is a veteran. Even in the business world, we have 30 year old CEO's now.

 

He can't continue to act like this.

He doesn’t strike me as the type of guy that’s going to give up game checks. He isn’t going to miss anything that actually matters.
