Steptide Posted March 15 Posted March 15 18 minutes ago, Beck Water said: Ah Wat? Diggs has no "cash bonus" due 3/17. His 2024 salary does guarantee on 3/17, but it would still cost the Bills extra cap ($31M vs $27.8M) to trade him, and leave us a gaping hole on offense at WR. And it's his salary, not a cash bonus. The dead cap does NOT include his 2024 salary, just signing and restructure bonuses. His dead cap is not that much larger than his cap hit (only about $3M) but the main problem is where are you gonna get the extra cap AND replace the talent? Maybe if some team is willing to trade us a talented young receiver on their 1st contract but why would they do that? It would, but then we have to replace the talent level. And if another team is willing to give us a 1st for him.....he's still got the talent level. Well If his cap hit isn't THAT much, Im willing to trade him for Justin Jefferson and a 1st. How crazy would that be 😳 2

Yeah, that's the paradox - if we're willing to move him, either his talent level has plummeted or he's Trouble in the Teepee behind the scenes. Intrinsically, that means another team isn't going to see high value in a WR who'll be almost 31 when the season starts, and who is due $18.5M in salary. 1
NewEra Posted March 15 Posted March 15 12 minutes ago, SCBills said: If we believe Josh Allen is that dude (and he is), we can eat the couple mil extra and trade him. This dude is exhausting, has yet to once step up in a big playoff game and his play last half of the year does not warrant the constant weird vibes from him. If we can get a RD1 pick, I’m trading him. Dallas seems logical with his brother after Jerry Jones comments about going “all in” and proceeding to do nothing so far. Do I think that’s what this is about? No. Do I think we’re trading him? No. But Diggs knows what he’s doing and it’s beyond tiresome. Yeah, he’s trolling a million idiots
Beck Water Posted March 15 Posted March 15 19 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: his tweet has made it onto WGR550 Ohhh thanks clarifying. I'm a bit ignorant with the cap hit / contract intricate details NP I had to take a calculator to all the bonuses in Spotrac to be sure I had it right. 8 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: in theory, couldn't his contract be reworked, agreed to and then he's traded? If he has specifically made it known to the Bills he would prefer to move on....couldn't we rework his deal to make it more favorable for us and the acquiring team? That's actually an interesting question. What makes Diggs "untradeable" to the Bills, is all the amortized bonuses (signing, option, restructure) that would all accelerate into the current year. We have to pay more to cut or trade him than we pay to keep him, AND we need to feel confident we've replaced his average of 111 catches and 1300 yds since 2020 (or at least 100 catches and 1000+ yds). What the trade partner normally takes on is any roster or workout bonuses due, salary and incentives. So those can 100% be reworked to make him a more attractive trade partner. Sometimes the trading team agrees to eat part of the salary, sometimes the player extends his contract and renegotiates, the receiving team can also convert part of his salary to bonus (since they have no bonus already on the book, the trading team ate them). But the part that makes him a "poison pill" for the Bills to move on from - his amortized bonuses that accelerate into now PLUS the need to replace his talent - as far as I know, that's all money the player has already received and I don't think the CBA allows give-backs on those. 1
KingBoots8 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Historically speaking, he is baiting the hook and seeing how many people bite. It’s kinda funny at this point. He could tweet out “New shoes” and people are gonna be like “OMG ARE THEY BLACK AND SILVER? DIGGS TO RAIDERS CONFIRMED!!” Just remember this is part of his offseason entertainment. Stop reading into it so much. 3 2 1
HappyDays Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I've been critical of Diggs' antics, but tweeting "ready for whatever" is not remotely worth worrying about. 1 6

He loves him his cryptic tweets and the 'wutever' he's ready for could be the two women he checked into suites at the same hotel and his plans for the evening, the success of his fashion line - anything.
