Diggs traded to Texans for picks

[4thandGoal]

Curtis Samuel is eating some chicken wings now and saying WTF--- i should have asked for mo money if they dont have a #1 WR

[PayDaBill$]

No matter what you can t keep a disgruntled player on the roster especially a WR1, & if he’s in decline best to jettison him sooner than later.

Yup. I hope that watching it from the sidelines in the midst of his tantrum made him feel stupid. But knowing his personality I'm sure it didn't change a thing in his ego poisoned mind.

They knew the guy was a problem yet they still have him a new contract and reworked. After 1 season decided that taking on dead cap to get rid of him was worth it. 

 

Beane really messed up with Diggs. He should have been traded before the new contract

He sucked in the second half of last year. It’s certainly on the board that’s who he is going forward.

One on one coverage is a quarterbacks dream and diggs saw a lot of one on one coverage last year and couldn't get open. Not to mention the drop in the end zone against the chiefs in the playoffs last year. 

I like the trade for underperforming players.

Lee Evans was awesome but let's be serious

Got it!

 

Is there dead money next year also?  If not, not a bad move IMHO.

 

Spotrac isn't up to date yet, but I think we get something like $5-10M back in cap space next year. I believe there is still some dead money, but ultimately we get some relief. 

I thought the Bills would have waited until after June 1. I remember that in that scenario the Bills would have gotten $19M in 2024 relief and $5M in 2025.

I don't know about anybody else but this news kind of ****** me off  I'm not gonna lie. I want to see all the final print. I needed to calm down lol 

Uhhh, something about “ Freaking out”????

[ArdmoreRyno]

I haven’t read through all the replies but I’m not happy. 
 

We basically got screwed twice by Minnesota trades over a 5 year span. 
 

Should have AT LEAST got the Texans 1st rounder. Not them trade to Minnesota for 3 picks and we get thrown a bone for NEXT year. 
 

Regardless of what you think about Diggs, he was STILL A WR1!!!!! 
 

This isn’t a good move IMO.

The Chiefs just won the Super Bowl as the #15 in offensive scoring.

They were the #3 seed and didn't turn it on until the playoffs

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

This is a full rebuild, key defensive and offensive pieces gone at every level. Hopefully only one down year.

It's supposed to be a deep draft for WR's this year. Beane has to get some weapons out of this draft for Allen. If they trade up or not I have to think WR is the pick in Rd 1. Probably going to take more than one WR this draft. I can't wait to hear Beane's press conference for this. The media is going to have a lot of questions to ask.

Yes, it is deep. You just can't expect a whole lot out of a wide receiver as a rookie. They are not always an instant impact.

 

It helps that we have Josh Allen.

And they had their best defense in years. 2nd in points against and 2nd in yards against.

[first_and_ten]

Maybe the Bills are jealous of the Sabres lack of success and want to join them

Houston is building their team right. Going all in on OFFENSE. This is an offensive league and whoever scores the most points wins. The Bills are trying to run the ball more and play good defense. Someone needs to tell this isn't 2005

 

The team that won the Super Bowl did it on the backs of the best defense they ever assembled and a WR/RB running room that looked like extras from The Replacements...

The only thing that would make me happy right now 

 

 

I can absolutely see something like that. I think the Bills trading into the top 10 just became possible.

With two 2nd's next year, a high pick from next year is being used this year... I believe that to be the calculus.

 

We currently have Shakir and Samuel... We're getting two WR's in the Top 100 picks this year. 

I had the exact same thought. A lot easier to stomach not having a 1 next year, if we have 2 2's.  I know I'm dreaming, but Nabors would be the dream pick for me.

Yes, but that's not my main concern. Beane has proven himself to be more than capable IMO.

 

This season's performance is going to let us know what's going on, 7 Beane seasons in.  

 

The division sucks monkey nuts, we literally own Miami, they literally cannot beat us barring 100-degree temps with our players sitting in extreme heat, and even then couldn't outplay us.  A division win is expected, and if we cannot advance beyond the wild-card round again, that theory is going to be quite seriously challenged.  

 

As always, we'll see.  Hopefully we'll win a Super Bowl with this ragtag WR corps without a distinguished WR in the group.  Hopefully we'll bolster it with a WR in the 1st round.  

 

But it should be of concern, because we've been lectured for a full year now by both head coach and Allen how there's absolutely nothing to any of this Diggs's stuff.  That's not going to age well.  

 

 

[Coach Tuesday]

Worth going back and reading this from 2020.

 

“His standing in the Minnesota offense was just one of several slights that didn’t seem to sit well with Diggs, and early on last season, it became obvious to those around the Vikings organization that the union between the wideout and the franchise was fraying. He missed practice despite not being listed with an injury, used cryptic emojis in his tweets, and eventually said he was “frustrated” with Minnesota’s 2-2 start.”

 

And this:

 

“Yet as great as Diggs had been for Minnesota, his departure seemed inevitable. A month into 2019, the receiver responsible for the most spectacular touchdown in Vikings history skipped team meetings and a practice over displeasure with their run-heavy offense. He was painted as petulant and selfish. The Vikings fined him $200,000.”

This years first and second, next years first and two seconds. That'll move you up quite a ways and would be very attractive to a developing team.  Only took me half a second to come up with that scenario. 

just out of curiosity wonder how far that does get you in the points system that people like to quote.

 

[MikePJ76]

Michael Gallup would be a smart safety net here.  He is big and basically a slower version of Gabe Davis.  He was not used much last year but he is excellent with acrobatic catches on the sideline and is good at bodying people and going up and getting balls.

 

I cant imagine he would get paid a lot.  Sounds like he is visiting the steelers at the moment who are going to use him in the same way, big body x wr outside.
