Save for a situation where Diggs goes nuclear, I really don't see a situation where it happens in the current landscape. Regardless of how you and others twist things, there's more holes in the scenario of him being moved that make it way more unlikely to happen than you guys want to give it credit for. 10 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: 😂🤣 as I said…it’s the emotional aspect! you’ve stooped down to my level from the Hopkins thread😂😁 it’s not “WE CAN’T MOVE HIM!” Just depends whether one or both parties want to The emotional aspect isn't about the player. It's about the nonstop arguing that not only should it happen, there's more reasons to do it than reasons not. And I just don't see that being remotely accurate.

beebe Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) These types of markets typically have tiny limits with huge sportsbook hold. A $100 bet....yes, $100...can often times move the odds substantially. Books offer these markets typically for the promotional value rather than actually trying to generate any sort of meaningful profit. The current favorite, along with the Texans, is the Chiefs at 10-1. The Bills would never trade him to the Chiefs, and the Chiefs would never make that trade. They have seven players on their entire roster age 30+ and five of them are backups or deep reserves. Kelce is the elder statesman on the team. Edited February 22 by beebe

These sort of markets are more gimmick than anything ..with only low maximum wager limits permitted.. here is the full market… still overwhelming odds on he stays in Buffalo Also noting the Chiefs are the same odds as the Texans …. Not sure our mate Warrior will be as excited about Diggs ending up there.. Edited February 22 by Aussie Joe 1

The Kansas City Chiefs have the best odds (HA!) of any team beyond the Bills. And even they're 10-1 odds in favor of him staying here over them. Furthermore, I'd figure you of all people would realize how useless betting odds are on potential trades. I seem to recall you getting all excited that we were the favorites to trade for Davante Adams. I'll say the same now that I told you then - "Vegas Odds mean nothing".

BuffaloRebound Posted February 22 Posted February 22 3 to 1 odds equates to 75% chance he’s a Bill this year. Seems right.

BillsFanForever19 Posted February 22 Posted February 22 (edited) 9 hours ago, Warriorspikes51 said: adding two potential 21 year old difference makers in the draft is anything except short sighted my friend. These Rookies aren't sure things. We could easily be like the Titans. Trading a quality vet WR (AJ Brown) and getting a bust in return (Treylon Burks). Or we could move Diggs and end up with this year's Quentin Johnston. Or we could keep Diggs, take a guy like Thomas Jr., Legette, Franklin, or Coleman - and then come back in the later Rounds and land a guy who ends up being better than someone who was drafted higher. I know you're obsessed with the guys in the first 2 Rounds. But quality Rookies are often found later. The best WR in the Draft last year went in Round 5, while others drafted in the First 2 Rounds were underwhelming. And this year with the quality of class and depth, guys taken in later rounds would probably be taken a Round earlier in a normal year. Just because they look amazing in highlights doesn't make them guarantees. And Diggs with Allen FINALLY having someone on the other side who can take coverage away, in my mind, has way more of a chance to pay dividends next year then adding another Rookie in Round 1 or 2 instead of later in Round 3 or 4. And in turn, leaving Allen with only 1 WR he's ever thrown a pass to. Edited February 22 by BillsFanForever19
