Mr. WEO Posted March 29 Posted March 29 3 hours ago, Logic said: I have never seen MORE chatter for LESS good reason than that regarding Stefon Diggs. He has never -- NEVER -- publicly stated his dissatisfaction or desire to leave the team. Never demanded a trade. Never been anything but an A+ teammate, locker room presence, and team leader. Yes, he's fiery, and he wants the ball. So do all good WRs since the beginning of time. His fire FEEDS this team. Who do you most often see walking up and down the bench, getting in people's faces? That's right. Stefon Diggs. Yes, he could use some public relations classes on answering questions in a way that invites less speculation. Still, I feel most of the narrative that follows Stefon Diggs is completely unwarranted. Where's the endless, breathless speculation over George Pickens? AJ Brown? Garrett Wilson? All three of those guys have expressed more public dissatisfaction with their team, yet they don't get one tenth the coverage and speculation that Diggs gets. It's maddening. I wish everyone would find something else to do and quit creating drama where there is none. He should catch it more often then (and stop taking himself out of the game). The more he is targeted, the lower his catch % goes. In games with 10 or more targets, he has a catch % of 56. Also, this should go without saying/asking, but why would anyone here speak much about other teams' disgruntled WRs? Finally, he is absolutely his the sole creator of his own "narrative". Nothing could be more obvious. 1 4

Nothing could be more obvious. everyone apparently forgot the chaos he caused last off-season with his antics. Even Josh said they were working through some stuff. There are multiple people on here who have legit team sources proven many times over that have said the Diggs situation is not good. Screaming at Josh in his face in the room after games over perceived mistakes is unacceptable. Many of his interviews, he plays on both sides of the fence intentionally to fan the flames. This off-season he did so at the Pro Bowl and with Kay. Then took to X. He absolutely knows what he is doing and how it will be perceived. Plus he’s become invisible in the playoffs. Again, loved the guy since he got here…but I don’t know anymore. IMO Allen could really benefit from a fresh start Edited March 29 by Warriorspikes51 2 1
Logic Posted March 29 Posted March 29 41 minutes ago, FireChans said: You’re standing by “never,” then? No, I'm not. That's why I said "you're right". If that's the linguistic nit you want to pick, you're correct. He has not been solely and exclusively a saint 100% of every day here. I'd still suggest that he has been a good soldier and a good teammate and a great leader far, FAR more often than he's ever been any kind of malcontent. It's not even close. The reputation does not match the reality.

If we trade him after June 1, we get to defer $22M or so of his cap into next season. If we trade him between now and then, we eat the whole $33M or whatever it is, THIS season - assuming the trade partner picks up his $19M fully guaranteed salary, workout and per-game roster bonuses

BillsFanForever19 Posted April 3 Posted April 3 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Warriorspikes51 said: Not cool. The theme of every single one of his posts lately is clapping back at people saying he's overrated or toast. He seems to be pretty motivated to prove doubters wrong. He's been posting training videos on his Insta Story daily. Probably should just ignore them. He's looking a little thin skinned right now. But I don't take him saying he feels it's incorrect to say he's not important to Josh's success as some major "not cool" slap in the face. Edited April 3 by BillsFanForever19 2 1

I have liked what Diggs has brought to the field year in and year out. I appreciate all of his dedication and efforts. But, yes his act is wearing thin and as long as we get his production replaced I won't be sad when he goes. 1

The fact that you had to re-word what he said kind of tells on itself, yeah? I've never seen another WR claim they are "essential" to their QB's success. Let's call this what it is. I still think he'll be on the team. My patience with his act is just totally worn thin at this point. 1 2

You take great joy and run here the first chance you can when it comes to anything you read as a potential reason to trade Diggs for Draft Picks this year - as if getting people to agree that we should will make it more likely to happen. It's been your mission for months, posting about it across multiple threads on the daily. 30 minutes ago, HappyDays said: The fact that you had to re-word what he said kind of tells on itself, yeah?

My patience with his act is just totally worn thin at this point. Did I re-word? I thought I just added a section at the end, after he edited his post with another tweet. Like I said, I think he needs to just ignore randos on Twitter. He seems to be overly sensitive to people saying he's overrated or toast. It's not a great look. I'll admit that. He's coming across as insecure. But I see it as more of the same defending himself against people who say he's not important (or "essential") to Josh or overrated than outwardly declaring he's responsible for Josh's success.

If I’m Beane, Id honestly just ask Josh Allen what he feels comfortable doing. Not sure how their relationship is, but when Diggs says stuff like that.. I’m letting Josh determine his fate here.
