You'd think we were dealing with prime Terrell Owens or Keyshawn Johnson the way Bills fans act towards Diggs. I wonder if Vikings fans are begging for Justin Jefferson to go lately with some of the things he's said? It's embarrassing to me to look at the tweet replies and see fanbases from every other team in the league BEGGING for him to be on their team and then see our fans calling him a cancer bc he's tweeted out innocuous random things like "Well..." that could mean LITERALLY anything. “still is playing at a very high level” citation needed. Vikings fans aren’t clamoring to ditch Jefferson because he’s still elite. 1

Vikings fans aren’t clamoring to ditch Jefferson because he’s still elite. So then say that's what it's about. You want him gone bc you personally think he's fell off. That's what gets me about this thread. Everyone makes things like these tweets definitive factual proof he wants out or he's a problem. Not because they're known facts. Because that's what they WANT it to be. And to the "falling off" end, it's also funny to me how every season we say "Josh needs help, we can't expect to win with just Diggs". But then when it doesn't happen and the season ends it's "Diggs didn't do enough". This last season was the worst in terms of help on the other side of Diggs. Davis was non-existent, even when he was on the field. He got no help in terms of taking the coverage attention away down the stretch, beyond the middle of the field. Yes, the drop was bad. But there's tangible things that can be pointed to in terms of why there was a fall off down the stretch. Now we're finally setting up a situation where we'll have a core of WR's that will demand more attention from Coordinators and we don't even want to see if Diggs can take advantage of it. 1 1

Lol

If Diggs barely misses or hits 1k yards on another inefficient high volume next season, will you admit you were wrong about Diggs? 1
Draconator Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) 1 hour ago, FireChans said: You know Diggs signed a 5 year extension with the Vikings and forced his way out in 2 years, right? Considering how much you hate the Bills, do you really expect me to believe anything you have to say? Lol Edited March 16 by Draconator
BigDingus Posted March 16 Posted March 16 He's not out there in the media, constantly in front of the cameras yapping on about the QB, teammates or the organization, yet people act like he's sooooooo much drama. Just accept he likes the social media attention. He's probably chilling with friends saying, "Watch, all I gotta do is post 2 or 3 random words & suddenly thousands of people start freaking out." Is that immature or annoying? Some people will definitely think so. But with the league's storied history of diva WRs, this barely registers.

BarleyNY Posted March 16 Posted March 16 1 hour ago, SoonerBillsFan said: He is waiting to hear if he is traded before his guaranteed money kicks in tomorrow. He does not have a cash outlay due, the only thing that happens is that the unguaranteed portion of his salary this season guarantees. That really won’t impact a trade. It would impact a release though.

I agree. WR’s are always the biggest divas and self promoters. Every single one thinks they’re the best in the league. I find the needless drama tiresome but they all seem to have this swagger.
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Just now, FireChans said: If Diggs barely misses or hits 1k yards on another inefficient high volume next season, will you admit you were wrong about Diggs? My stance isn't that it's impossible that Diggs hasn't taken a step back and there's no scenario where he isn't a monster this year. It's that the time to do it, if we do isn't THIS offseason. Give him this season as part of a much improved offensive weapon core and see if that revives him. We're having to pay exponentially for him anyways. I see it just as likely that having him pays dividends for us than it is he doesn't. I'd much rather have Diggs, a Round 1 Rookie, and Samuel then that alternative. If it doesn't work, you move on from him next season when it's a better time to do so. Both financially and from a stance of Josh having a year with the new core and the Rookie having experience.
HappyDays Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Only thing I'll say about the latest Diggs controversy is I don't expect the Bills to offload him this year, but I also don't think he is in their long term plans. Beane had a chance to save $13.1M off the cap this year with a simple restructure of his contract. He chose not to touch it. IMO that spells the beginning of the end. 5 1 1

Vikings fans aren’t clamoring to ditch Jefferson because he’s still elite. So you basically admit that its not any substance to anything, its just you and the other minority part of the fan base CLAMORING for him to be traded when in reality there is no drama, Diggs doesn't want to be traded, Beane doesn't want to trade him, and it makes absolutely no cap sense to trade him this year. You also said he would not be traded until 2025 multiple times...so theres that too. 1

I know you were responding to someone else, but to be clear I don't want Diggs gone. He is one of my favorite modern Bills ever. That being said, having $24M extra next year in cap space is very tempting. We watched New England give a masterclass in moving on from players a year early, rather than a year late, for close to two decades. It was smart and helped them continue to win. I wouldn't hate Beane if he decided to do the same here. As for Diggs comments, he knows what he is doing. He knows he is stoking the flames. He knows he is causing issues with fans. He is intelligent. As I said before, It's like poking a Bear with a stick and getting upset when he growls. "Why not just ignore the stick, Mr Bear?" says the human ... "How about you not poke me with it?" responds the Ursidae mammal. ... Edited March 16 by Einstein
Nephilim17 Posted March 16 Posted March 16 3 hours ago, Beck Water said: It seems like you're considering his twitter pic showing him waving good-bye in a Bills uni to be some sort of provocation (like he's waving goodbye to the Bills?) I'm going off of recent (last day or so) media reports that Diggs changed his Twitter bio pic to the wave goodbye. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-stefon-diggs-gives-another-indication-he-wants-out-of-buffalo-with-cryptic-post/ "To make things even more interesting, Diggs changed his Twitter bio to a picture of him waving goodbye -- which could indicate his last time playing for the Bills. Diggs." https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/stefon_diggs_posts_cryptic_tweet_hinting_at_bills_exit/s1_17150_40116012 "Diggs recently took to his X account to post “ready for watever” while also changing his bio to a photo of him waving. Goodbye to the Bills, perhaps?" https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2024/03/16/stefon-diggs-trade-rumors-ready-for-whatever/ "In his latest posts, Stefon Diggs hinted at his desire for a trade by tweeting out “ready for whatever” and changing his Twitter header to what appears to be him waving goodbye to Buffalo. This could all just be a cry for attention, but there are some on-field reasons to believe this could be the end of the road." IF this has been up for months, since the games were being played, then I take back what I said and I was wrong. And if so shame on the CBS, and other news outlets for reporting something that is months old as a recent development. I don't follow Twitter and can't speak to the recency of the wave goodbye twitter bio pic. My interpretation is that he posted the wave goodbye pic in the past but only recently changed his bio pic to this. IF this is the pic he only recently updated for a bio pic, then that is 100% an intentional statement/trolling by Diggs. And it's 100% unneeded and counter-productive to the BIlls as a team. Can anyone confirm or deny?
