Get Nabers and I’m happy.

Not at pick #28 and unsure what it take to get in top 10 which to me too much. 

[DapperCam]

Diggs gave us a lot of great moments. I think my favorite is that catch vs the Lions in the come from behind win.

 

I will not miss force feeding him a WR screen that gets dropped anyway. Onward and upward!

Texans message board has 2 pages on this trade. 😂

They're out f'n their steers. 

[Yawning Frog]

just a 2nd rounder in 2025? plus giving away 2 more picks and no help this year. YUCK!!!!        Not to mention 31 million dead cap hit.

LOL, now the primary reason why we haven't done better in the playoffs is Diggs' fault.  

 

LMAO 

 

I must've missed the explanation of why they lied to us for the past year.  

 

 

 

That's not at all what Brandt said. 

 

He's part of a team that didn't step up around JA when it mattered.  ....and now a lot of them are gone.  

 

JA didn't have it against Cinci in the Hamlin aftermath, but for the most part he elevates his game when it matters.  Diggs has not.

Bills saying we aren't a good enough team this year, see you next year

Nah. I believe it's more they finally realized that the old "run it back, we're close" just wasn't working. Let's see what they do from now to week 1, though.

Why is F Minus not an option?

The Bills kept the issues under wraps for the most part. But anyone who knew someone close to the team was aware of his constant distractions, both in public and behind the scenes.

Yeah that’s crazy, but I am not shocked.

Gave it a B. I think Beane did very well to get Minnesota’s 2025 2nd round pick. That team has talent, but no QB. Barring another move they will be rolling with Sam Darnold or a rookie.

Sad end to his time at the Bills. Hoping we fail forward here and come out somehow better for it.

When the Vikings moved on from Diggs they ended up with Justin Jefferson. Even someone half as good as him would make it palatable.

Not confident it'll be that way though

and now Minnesota gets the better deal with Diggs again

We have truly reached a trust the process moment with Beane and McDermott I have a hard time doing this but we are getting absolutely trashed in the national media over this trade right now. They must have some other move in mind cause if they’ve done this at face value man this Is rough. 

The media loves to praise teams on the way up and bash those on the way up.

Texans are ascending

Bills look at best from the outside to be treading water or in decline. We know the players that Beane got rid of were all replaceable. But when you lose both safeties, your center, and your #1 WR it looks really bad. 

 

The trade sucks. 

 

The media knows McDermott is a joke too. They know he cost us a SuperBowl. They know he can't beat Reid in the playoffs. They love Ryans right now. 

 

The only thing that reverses the narrative is winning the SuperBowl. Until then all we are is a team wasting a HOF QB, just like the Chargers with Rivers, the Dolphins with Marino, and Elway with Reeves.

I think each pass that someone not named diggs catches cuts into diggs’ personal motivation a small percentage lol it’s gonna happen pretty quickly in Houston 

 

In public statements though he’ll be a good teammate to try to disprove the diva label but over time that will fall by the wayside too 

 

 

Diggs was a better teammate this year than I thought he would be. He had some outbursts in the past. But I also think part of that was him being a good soldier to get out.

I’m competently shocked.  Doesn’t feel legit.  
 

So Shakir to Diggs’ spot, Samuel to the slot.  1st rd pick to replace Davis?  

 

I think the hope is for the offense to be more in line with the the old NE and current KC offenses that feature the TE, pass catching RB's, and slot receivers. 

That said, I think they want Shakir on the outside, but I won't be shocked if he takes over for Samuel inside. I am pretty high on KS.

Sorry, haven’t read through the entire thread yet.  Did Andre have something to say about Diggs recently?

Andre voiced his opinion (through his old friend, me) about a post here claiming that Diggs was the best WR in Bills history.  Needless to say, Andre didn't agree.

PRETTY PLEASE!   I love Nabers a bit more, but splitting hairs here.  Plus, I think Nabors has a better shot at lasting until pick 6 (Giants).

 

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl because of their defense. Mahomes did not deserve that MVP. Do I have confidence that Beane and Mcdermott can duplicate that, no.

So how long until Diggs starts making cryptic comments about Stroud?

Approximately 2 years, if history repeats itself.  

[FireChans]

A because I think behind the scenes Diggs has been just as much of a cancer as he was in Minnesota (as I’ve said I suspected for about a year now) AND he had a sharp decline in production. A day 2 pick from a bad Minnesota team is an absolute W.

 

The extension gets an F-, the trade gets an A.

[MainEvent]

Do we think they go the draft route or go after Aiyuk or Higgins?

Tyreek Hill was worth 2x 1sts. Diggs is worth a 2025 2nd? Ouch

Hill at the peak of his career, Diggs on the downside of hi.

As I posted earlier, this has been going on for more than just this season. They knew there was going to be problems. Why give him a new 4 year contract and rework it only to move him a year into said contract. As well as add in dead cap. Why not move on from him before all of this?
