Big Turk Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 2 minutes ago, Mango said: I assumed that when the team restructured Diggs they had spoken to him and had a reasonably accurate temperature on the situation. It feels like checking in after the way we ended the CIN game would have been a slam dunk...apparently not? In a worst case, doomsday scenario, Diggs could tank this roster by forcing his way out. (Most NFL contracts are written with permission for restructures up front. Teams do not need to get approval before restructuring) 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? 1 Quote

buffblue Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 1 minute ago, Logic said: 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. Good post. The nature of this situation almost seems to guarantee he will be out there when the games count, and as you stated this is hardly unprecedented. That being said, he is starting to wear my patience thin with how he approaches things. I've always defended Diggs and love his competitiveness. Let's hope this is an issue that doesn't linger through the summer. Quote

This is the first time I've actually thought he's a problem. The rest was just passion. No excuse for not showing up... ESPECIALLY after you sign a big extension and are named team captain. 1 Quote
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Either way if he shows up tomorrow I can’t imagine Mcd lets it slide and trots him right out there. It’s essentially going to be a wasted camp for him. Quote
Mike in Horseheads Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 At this point Diggs is being a Beasley 2 1 1 1 1 1 Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited June 13, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 Quote

He signed a new deal last year, hes on a top 3 offense with a top 3 QB. Whats the angle here? He wants to be traded...to where? He wants more money...based on what? Cut bait and sign Hopkins if this gets any uglier. Same, I have no idea why he’s sitting out. Quote

Cut bait and sign Hopkins if this gets any uglier. He didn't sign a new contract. He was restructured. Most NFL contracts include approval for future restructures. From a contractual point of view there was no need to notify Diggs at all. Although after the way he behaved at the end of the season, one would think a team would make sure they weren't handcuffing themselves to a player who would refuse to show up. 1 Quote
