Except maybe Josh. But yes, as the old business saying goes, "Everything is for sale at the right price". At Negative 40 Million to our cap, it would need to be a 1st and a truly elite player or multiple 1sts

And it would likely have to be one of those ridiculous, not-happening scenarios. @MJS posted a good one on the previous page. 10 1sts and Mahomes would probably get it done. Maybe even just the 10 1sts. Likely tho? 1

LabattBlue Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Dead Cap hit is massive. It is not happening this year or next…unless he stands in front of McD, BB, and Pegula and tells them all to F off, and he angrily states he will never play another snap as a Buffalo Bill. Even then, they probably keep him and suspend him until he backs down. 1

DrDawkinstein Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I think this is just Denver fans getting us back for all the Jeudy speculation from March/April.

Fans should be smarter, but... Agreed unfortunately this ***t sandwich is entirely the players making stemming from the last game to now late June with a “no show/excused” from practice and subsequently letting your QB take all the bullets. The Bills could defuse that talk if they chose they don’t have to say anything imo.

DCofNC Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 The only way would be for him to add years to his deal, void or not, to get back to a comparable number of what he’s counting against this years cap. The restructure was a really bad move if he gets traded. That said, if they got decent compensation for him, because it’s after June 1, the dead cap hit sucks some this year (ok a lot), BUT it could be squeezed in if you get creative. His cap his is insane next year anyway, so the 2nd half of it is t actually that prohibitive. If they got him to add 2 years of voidable time to his deal, they could thin it out to about a 10M loss (vs what he’s taking up now anyway). Then next year still sucks, but it hurts less now. The big thing is, you basically are throwing in the towel if you trade him, they don’t have enough on offense now, so they would have to bring a player back for him and work out a contract that makes their cap hit this year negligible. In order for all of that to happen they are going to have to take way less in talent to get any team to take it on. Although, his base salary is almost minimum, so a team could eat part of whatever they send back, by converting that salary to bonus and making the cap hit work for Buffalo. Lots to make happen and the only way I could see it happening is for a last year of a contract guy like Higgins who is going to cost more than a team wants to spend next season, but still, not going to be great to take on Steph’s base etc going forward. I can’t see it happening. Would be really bummed if that’s what it comes to.
Don Otreply Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Everyone on the team is tradable under “the right circumstances” this is off season boredom inspired…, 1
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 I’d be so ***** furious if we trade this guy. He’s the best WR the bills have ever had. At some point, just come on. This isn’t baseball…the players actually matter. 1

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 22, 2023 Posted June 22, 2023 Trading Diggs won’t make any financial sense until 6/1 2026 based on my amateur read of sport trac 1

We can’t trade him for nothing, but if somehow circumvented the cap nightmare of trading Diggs and got back someone like Sutton or Jeudy, plus picks, I’m still expecting this offense to be elite. ….I’m expecting that because Allen is elite, and there would be enough talent (provided the OL is better) to accomplish that.
