g2 hope its related to his brother getting in trouble... only thing that makes sense

What just going post that I bet it is related to his brother. Thinking McDermott’s concern is for Diggs and his family.

The just restructured him with signing bonus, can't be about money.

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.

Right idea but wrong thoughts. Diggs loved Chad Hall. So maybe he’s protesting whatever decision they made with Hall.

At least we have something real to talk about now

I was trying to figure out what I was going to do today instead of working.

I dont think so. That is such a minor thing.

My source tells me Diggs is in Buffalo, just not at camp. My source assumes Diggs is trying to send some kind of message but he isn't sure what message or why.

He Him?

Yes. He was actually downtown last night 

[BuffaloBillyG]

So looking like an unexcused no show on day one and the last we got from him was running out of the locker room after a playoff loss. 

 

This is what we call things trending downward. Will be interesting to see if Allen has anything to add after practice.

If this is a message to the offensive coaching staff to stop being stupid, then I’m all for it!

I don't think I've ever seen Diggs give less than full effort on a play, or mail it in.

I'm not jumping the gun but I'll pose the Q....would it make sense to trade diggs for davante straight up? Similar ages, contracts, etc....?

We literally CANNOT trade him. His dead cap hit is massive 

[Simon Says]

I'll give him a little time to explain himself.. but the fool KNOWS his contract makes it impossible to trade him.

If he DOES want out, let him restructure and ship his ass to Texas. 

 

[Logic]

I understood Diggs being upset in Minnesota, because they were a run-first offense and showed no signs of changing, and he felt he was being underused and wasn't being allowed to reach his vast potential.

I'm a lot less understanding of his being upset now. As others have pointed out, he's paid very well, he's on a very pass-first offense with a top five quarterback, and he's the focal point of the passing game.

Besides, what does he really think he could get on another team that he doesn't have here? Short of joining the Chiefs, who does he honestly feel like would give him a better chance to win a ring at this point?

Yes, I understand why he'd be aggravated with the coaches and potentially even Josh Allen, but I don't think that he's going about it the right way.

A good teammate simply does not take his ball and go home when the going gets tough. You want changes to the way the offense is called or to what Josh is looking at when he drops back to pass? Fine. Come to offseason meetings (at LEAST the mandatory ones) and sit with the coaches and the QB and give input. Help shape the offense. Help improve the team from a scheming and play-calling perspective.

I'm not bent out of shape about it. He's not the first player to skip mandatory camp and won't be the last. I DO think he's going about things the wrong way and is being unreasonable, though.

Hope it’s an excused absence 

Wouldn't McDermott KNOW that?

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

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..
