Curtis Samuel is our #1 WR right now. Beane definitely has something up his sleeve wether it’s drafting back to back WR this year, trading for Higgins/Aiyuk or trading up for Harrison/Odunze/Nabors, something will get done since Beane at least up until now hasn’t done things on the fly for no reasoning.

On reflection, maybe this is a good move. I was willing to give Diggs the benefit of the doubt after his decline over the second half of the season. But then I think of that drop in the playoff game against KC. That spoke volumes. If you choke at the most important moment of the season, you're not untradeable anymore. Wish it were a first-rounder this year, but that's just not realistic. Hopefully they trade up for a WR 1. Maybe their first and second this year and their second next year to move up for one of the Big Four.

Sorry if I missed it but what does it do to cap this year and next year.

A 2025 second rounder. ***** this. Back to the same old Bills.

Huge cap savings for a guy on the wrong side of 30.

I would keep pick 44 from the Texans and then trade pic 28 60 and then whatever pics needed next year to get a top receiver this year and still get a sweet prospect at 44 as well.

It’s a 2025 pick.

Question for you crazy draft mathematizers out there lol: how far up would pick 44 and pick 60 get you to?

12-15 if you're lucky.

 

 

Houston putting Diggs in the slot would be a great move.

If you throw in the bills 28th? High teens I think 

[eball]

Anyone who doesn't believe they at least vetted this idea with Josh first is kidding himself...

 

Beane has a plan and keeping his golden boy happy is a big part of that.

I still stand by his tweets being severely over re-acted to.

 

If he talks poo on the way out, then eff him. 
 

Seeing the compensation, I wonder if Houston ate the contract or if we are going to pay him 22 million to play elsewhere.

 

Without knowing the details (both of the deal and what was going on behind the scenes), I don’t love this. 

 

They at a $30 Million cap poop sandwich, to ship him out of here (to a potential AFC rival) for pennies on the dollar.

 

People freaked at his posts because they were clearly little glimpses of bigger issues in his head and inter-personally with his teammates and management.  

 

Maybe he was 'trolling' people or things were taken out of context.  At this point, highly unlikely.  The guy was a malcontent D-bag.

The WR room is going to be completely different. Wow.

Just now, appoo said:

What bonus? The bills already paid his signing bonus, and they paid his 23 roster bonus. He doesn’t have any further bonus money left that’s not been prorated 

 

Whatever makes up his big cap hit and dead money. Houston can take that on if they want.

[Donuts and Doritos]

We gave up a 5th this year & a 6th next year in addition to Diggs to get a 2nd next year? 

 

Houston robbed Beane. Has to be Diggs really wanted out or Beane was drunk.

I'm curious to see what this does for our cap situation. If we take on a massive dead cap hit then I'm not a fan.

 

Our WR room is utterly horrendous right now. 

[BuffaloBillyG]

So for this off-season we have moved on from:

 

Diggs

Davis

Morse

Poyer

Hyde

White

 

All "cornerstones" of a team that couldn't get past Kansas City when it counted. All have been either Pro Bowl or All Pro. Each one a team captain. I can respect the effort and everything those guys brought to Buffalo but in the end it just wasn't enough and I think Beane and McDermott recognized that 

 

Calling this anything other than a year where we rebuild and hope to stay competitive is foolish. Many moves we have made focus on gaining cap space for next season. And we really don't have that many free agents to re-sign. 

 

My bet is they are gearing up to make a TON of big moves next year and build excitement heading with the new stadium on the horizon. I don't expect any major move up the draft board.

 

Let's see how the plan plays out.

This is an awful trade, but it must be he was so cancerous that they couldn’t proceed with him. Stinks.

Its either trade him now or never at his age

Curtis Samuel is about to ask for a pay raise lol

[Freddie's Dead]

Houston bent us over the tree stump and ***** us dry.  Bills still eat the dead cap, so this deal makes absolutely no sense.  Complete fail by McBeane.

 

Farewell Stefon Diggs, and we thank you.

Hamler is better than Shorter.  Shorter will have a sub Hodgins career.

 

I wasn't making any assessment of who's better, just stating our starters.  But OK, swap Halmer for Shorter, so Shakir, who played Slot last season, now at wide, Samuel, who has to play Slot, and Hamler.  Is that an encouraging starting WR corps?  LOL  People criticized and slammed our past WR corps, this should be a real hoot with the sentiments if it isn't seriously upgraded.
