Didn't they just pay him a ton of money?  His cap hit would be huge

 

I would imagine that would factor into the right circumstances part...

If this report is true, what do you think the "right circumstances" would be?

I mean it's coming from LaConfora clone Benjamin Albright, so probably not great, but on the small chance it's true...

I had previously posted this report on another thread.  It seemed worthy of noticing.  But not worthy of its own thread.  At least, that's how I added it up. 

 

It's probably BS.  Diggs' contract makes a trade hard.  And he's too important to the offense.

Yes.  Most insiders concede Diggs contract makes him untraceable this season.  It’s somewhere above $40M of dead cap.  
 

Remember there is no “post June 1” designation for trades, I’ve personally made that mistake

Yeah I mean I'd trade him straight up for Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase too but I would guess the Vikings or Bengals won't so Diggs will still be hoisting the Lombardi as a Buffalo Bill in February.

I mean what circumstance could that be?  I’m not even clear on who we could cut or trade to generate that much cap space

With the exception of Allen, he is our best player on offense. If the Bills were rebuilding and looking to acquire picks, then I could see it. But they are trying to win a Super Bowl so it's not going to happen.

As Beane has always said: "I'm not doing my job if I don't look at ways to improve the team"  That includes everyone is available (except a franchise QB)

Given the massive dead cap we'd incur the next 2 seasons by trading Diggs there's really no "right circumstances" that we can trade him. 

 

The situation would have to deteriorate to the point that he's sitting out or sabotaging his on field play. At which point we trade him for whatever we can get and live with the dead cap

1. NFL eliminates the salary cap

2. Minnesota offers Jefferson straight up

3. Secret love letters to Kirk Cousins are found in Diggs locker

 

Other than that, I think this thing is a go.

 A Bills gossip forum would be great here... this is nothing at all.

He's going to disappear after the bye this season too???

More baseless speculation.  He actually even refers to the Volin article, itself an exercise in baseless speculation.  Training camp cannot get here fast enough.
