BillsWest Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 They went on to say one option would be a trade to Buffalo for Diggs. One disgruntled wr for another. Though Diggs is 5 years older and has double the salary. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The Aiyuk saga in SF has been very strange. There was a weird period where he was getting benched a few years back and there was whispers about him getting moved because of problems with him and Shanny. That’s quieted down in the last 2 years and his production has exploded as their number one-ish WR. I could see him being moved, but I don’t think it would be for Diggs, especially as Diggs is an unwilling blocker. He has enough production to warrant a first rounder as a starting point in negotiations, I could see them retaining Jennings and jettisoning Aiyuk. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I don't see a scenario where trading diggs makes sense and doesn't just open up a massive hole. No compensation offered will do anything to move the needle. The offers will be things like 4th and 5th round picks. I don't want that. Improving WR2 should help a lot. Need more speed, and ideally someone with more route running chops. Brady never really got it working with Diggs oddly enough, but I'm willing to bet he has a plan since they hired him. WR1 - Diggs WR2 - ??? - Ideally a rookie with some wheels and hands WR3 - Shakir WR4 - ??? - Vet who can play inside and out WR5 - Harty i guess - totally open to moving him but maybe they just lower the cap hit and keep him as a returner WR6 - Shorter or a rookie who outplays him 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBFL Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Guy wants all the targets and with that comes #1 money. Can’t just move Diggs or his contract to pay a guy the same if not more. Certainly can’t pay them both. Aiyuk, as good as he is/can be, is a pipe dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Diggs is 5 years older and has double the salary. Diggs has a CAP HIT that is about twice that of Aiyuk, but their salaries are much closer. Aiyuk is set to play on his 5th year option of $14.1M. Diggs has a salary (plus roster and w/o bonuses) of $19.0M. Those are the cap hits that would travel to a new team. Also if SF trades Aiyuk his new team will have already negotiated an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Aiyuk+Diggs= Von Miller type money/cap hit That's depressing, because I would much rather have the 2 WR than a DE who can't play anymore 2 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I don't wanna get any vet wr's to use as our number 1. Any vet we sign should be wr 3 Imo. I wanna draft young studs. I don't wanna keep trying re treads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could go either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Financially, we cannot trade Diggs. The only way would be if he added like 3 void years to his contract so we could spread out the cap hit. And I don't know if that's even legal by NFL rules, to add void years to a contract without adding anything else. It's not gonna happen. I think Aiyuk, if traded, will end up in Houston, New England, or maybe Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think Diggs was dealing with undisclosed, or underdisclosed, injuries, and he'll be back. If that's true, they just need a quality #2, and they can fill in the #4 spot easily enough. The success of the passing game depends much more on what Brady does than some major overhauls of the wideout room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
