I'm going off of recent (last day or so) media reports that Diggs changed his Twitter bio pic to the wave goodbye.

"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."

"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?

These guys are so spoiled for attention it's laughable.

THEN START A THREAD ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD CONSIDER TRADING HIM FOR THOSE CAP SAVING REASONS RATHER THAN A BUNCH OF FAKE "HOUSEWIVES OF BUFFALO" MANUFACTURED DRAMA THAT ISN'T THERE. 

 

It really is that simple.  

I understand that you believe yourself to be the boss of others and therefore have the power to tell others what they should or should not do. Unfortunately for you, the remainder of society does agree with that belief. Reality is that  you are the boss of only yourself. 

Therefore, as the boss of yourself, you have the choice to:

A) Enter threads you do not like, get annoyed, post a bunch of insults, and (by doing so) drive the thread right back to the top of the page where you do NOT want it.

B) Ignore the thread (or even the posters you disagree with), and therefore do not have to deal with threads or opinions you do not like.

With these two choices in mind, which choice do you feel makes the most sense for you? Which do you feel would make you happier?  ]Personally, if it were me, I would just ignore the thread. Since any reply I gave to a thread I don't like, just pushes the thread back to the top of the page. 

For example: As you can see on the home page, I've only commented in 1 of the last 10 threads posted. You can tell that by looking at the icons next to the thread. The dot next to a thread means you have not commented. The star icon means you have participated in the thread. Do you know why I haven't commented in the other 9? Because they are not interesting to me, or I do not believe my knowledge or opinion would contribute positively to them. So I ignore them. Maybe you should give that a try as well? I believe in you - You can do this!

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.

It’s just me what?

You think these are equivalent😂😂

Why aren’t you showing pics or clips of the literally dozens of times he has been on the sidelines hyping up Josh and the team? You show the one time he put his hands up in frustration. Also, how are the Chiefs situations different then in your opinion? Kelce shoved his coach!! So I guess you’re right, they aren’t equivalent, the Chiefs things are MUCH worse

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.

Without a major resurgence, I think this is his last year in town at least.

You're the one who posted the first image, completely disregarding everything I said.

 

Oh no, Diggs got mad on the sidelines 2 years ago! How terrible of him!

 

Point is, competitive players get mad on the sidelines. Big deal. The fact you thought that was relevant at all to what I said is bizarre. We were talking about "cryptic tweets," hence the title of the thread.

 

I literally said "with the league's storied history of diva WRs, this barely registers" and you responded with an image of him yelling on the sidelines. The fact YOU think that's "equivalent" is what's funny.

I could be wrong and he’s just trolling, but I interpret his comments as trying to facilitate a trade ?

Honestly who cares at this point.  Just trade him and move on at this point.  Call Chicago about their 2nd round pick

That's false, actually. That's been his twitter header for a long time now. I can't go back in time and take a snapshot, but I remember reading that and thinking "huh, he's had that forever".

I think it's fairly obvious that's him responding to everyone who said he's fell off.

I view it as him showing he was traded on this day 4 years ago and also look how good I am….someome trade for me.
 

But, I could be wrong

Pretty sure the social media reports are Making ***** Up(tm) as I recognize that profile pic as one he has had for literally, several years.

 

Like I think, since he toasted a guy badly for a TD in 2020 and Josh Allen was giving him an expensive watch engraved "Slime" for Christmas, years.

It's for sure not recent, or even this past season

Yes, that was a false claim that the media ran with.  He’s had the same banner up there for a longg time

Whats going on with Diggs now? Is Mike Florio spreading rumours again?

It’s not about liking a thread or not.  It’s about your absurd witch hunt manufacturing false information that you spread to others and it infects this board and other threads and brings the quality of the board down.  
 

Threads like this are like cancer…nothing good about it and it just spreads.  Like nothing you post should be taken seriously after hanging your hat on what you know was a thread all about you to stir up nonsense.  
 

Im not joking when I say this is the worst thread of the year.  All it is really is a lightning rod for all the internet Karens who want to hear what they want to hear, ignore facts, and spew manipulated and falsified info to fuel a bias hatred of Diggs before anything legitimate or real has happened.  

 

Well said!

The only thing missing is the inherent racism in some of the posts

what’s going on is Diggs decided to start a fire and then pour gasoline on it. Whether he’s trolling or trying to make a trade happen is anyone’s guess. Perhaps it’s a bit of both

[blacklabel]

Man, all I know is this age of information, while on one hand can be very useful but in the other can be downright mind-numbing. Seeing some of youse here analyzing and nitpicking every little thing this dude does on social media is a little nuts. 

 

In the grand scheme of things, it's a game. And also in the grand scheme of things, his behavior isn't really that outlandish. Does it seem a little irritating and immature? Sure. But this whole, "Move on, eat the dead cap and be done" sentiment from some of you is a pile of hot diarrhea. 

 

What's your alternative? Roll with Samuel, Shakir, Kincaid, Knox, and Shorter? Oh wait, we oughta wipe Knox off this list because his positional duties changed a lot last season and because he didn't post up 80 receptions for 1200 yards and 10 TDs he's a worthless bum with a god awful contract and blah blah blah. He did redo his deal so I guess he's alright now? I dunno. 

 

So yeah, you can have the aforementioned group with a rookie and cross your fingers and hope for the best. I guarantee a Bills WR group sans Diggs is not as productive. And then the whole lot of you whining to trade Diggs now would be whining at the end of next season about the dip in production. 

 

I've been a fan my whole life. Ages ago I was definitely guilty of some similar crappy thinking regarding the team. I dunno if I had an epiphany or what but after a certain point that type of discussion becomes friggin' exhausting. 

 

I generally try not to get engaged in these types of discussions but sometimes that's all that people wanna talk about. 

 

In my estimation, I'm gonna trust the group that's assembled and managed this team since 2017. They've sustained success and yeah it's a bummer to dip out in the second round of the playoffs but a bigger bummer is a nearly twenty year playoff drought.

Except, he did fall off a bit last season, specifically the 2nd half of last season.

 

I don't think it necessarily means he fell off a "performance cliff" or something, I think he may have had some painful and nagging injury like an oblique or something which slowed him just enough to make a difference.  

 

But he's still one of the top receivers in the league, top-15 for yards, top-10 for pretty much anything else.

Yes.  Yes, he is.
