Diggs traded to Texans for picks

I know losing Diggs is a big deal. But we still have a lot of spots on the roster that need young players besides WR. Trading away a lot of picks including next years first isn’t worth it when a good WR will be there at 28 imo. 

The only real needs are Safety 2 or 3, depth DT or Veteran Edge 

IMO one of the top 3 WR’s would be worth it.  
 

I wouldn’t mind staying at 28 and the moving up in the 2nd for another one as well either

Bad take.

 

Nate Geary was clearly a guy who was dying on the “Diggs ain’t going anywhere” hill, and now his brain is broken.

 

Beane and co. are paying Diggs an extra $3M this year to not play here. That’s what they think of him.

Joe Mixon tweet is interesting. Makes me think Diggs not only wanted out, but wanted Houston. 
 

Bills granted that wish. Perhaps Houston was the only one knocking for Diggs?

Beane said in his presser we received other calls, even last year

to be fair you are using 30 year old values 

 

that said, I’d give quite a bit for a $25-30m wr on a rookie deal for 4 years, whichever guy that may be. 

I very well could be but kind of assumed that the NFL being set in their ways used the same grading system from then.  I don't know which is the latest and greatest for comparing draft picks.  Never was something I have cared about.

Two other receivers to hide behind when he plays like dog ***** in the playoffs

I'm guessing those calls started coming in when they changed to Brady as OC.

This is a joke right? Diggs was acting up in TC this past year! He ran the Minnesota playbook to a T. 
 

He tweets cryptic ***** and acts out. This is how Beane knew he was available in Minnesota, and this is how teams knew he was gettable now.

 

We need to stop deluding ourselves. This didn’t happen overnight. The whole cryptic tweet topic is a referendum on people who need to wake up. Maybe the guy who has now forced his way off two teams with weird comments and weird behavior DID IT ON PURPOSE.

I’d move up for Harrison, but not sure much difference between Nabers, Odenzu and Thomas to move up too high.

Character is destiny. I didn't think it would happen, because I didn't think Beane would take on that massive cap hit.

And I thought you bring in a WR2, hopefully, that can grow into WR1. That kind of plan is out the window. I think they need to do more.

Diggs must have been a real piece of work to make this the best option.

anyone with a pulse knew it was a matter of when, not if…. 
 

im sure there’s been steady pulse checks

 

wouldn’t be shocked if they were sitting on this offer for a minute and when they saw the tweet they said screw this guy and picked up the phone.

yeah, but we prob should have traded him earlier perhaps (prior to last year. although perhaps Kincaid and Shakir not as developed then getting cb1 coverage who knows)?

Not really.  Yes there could have been calls before and Beane probably scoffed at them but when they were sitting at 6-6 and about to change OC's, then the calls sounded a bit more reasonable is all I was getting at.

 

I know it didn't happen overnight, it started 2 years ago when they extended him and Diggs probably felt like he was "untouchable" within the organization.

He has the added bonus of playing in the south, which means a lot of dome games.

 

 

He also has Bobby Slowek calling the plays and running the Shanahan system where guys are Constantly WIDE TF OPEN, which can’t be understated. On the flip side, Josh is asked to play backyard football just making stuff up as he goes since no one is ever schemed open. 

[Andy1]

I think Diggs probably has wanted out since last year and Bills knew he wasn’t going to play nice with a new alpha receiver the Bills plan on drafting. That would only make the diva drama worse so it was time to cut the cord now for team chemistry. Diggs is on the downside of his career trajectory. Some alphas can’t live with another alpha. He probably wanted no part of teaching his replacement. That’s just the way uber competitive guys are sometimes.

Whether or not Diggs leaves some sorta goodbye to the fans will be telling of his true self.

This guy is an emotional wreck all the time.  It’s like a 14 year old has a job on Wgr 

[gtw3]

One of the toughest things for successful teams in sports to do is to move a declining player early, rather than late.  Hopefully that is what we did here.  His numbers down the stretch would imply as much.

 

I really hate that we moved him within the conference.  I would have much rather seen him in the NFC.

 

The Cap hit this year is significant but it looks like it frees up a lot moving forward.

 

Time for Kincaid and Shakir to step up.

 

This year's Draft just got a helluva lot more important, and it was already shaping up to be crucial.

 

In Beane I still trust.
