Wow, we got no picks this year.  2025 2nd rounder via Vikings.  
 

We sent them Diggs, 6th this year and 5th next year.  

Plus the cap hit…I’d say we lost this one

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

Eh. Tyreek is more valuable IMO. Definitely thought they’d at least get a first or second without giving up anything other than Diggs. 
 

Surprised it wasn’t a straight trade. 
 

Worst part about it all is you’ve just given a second year QB, in the same conference, who blew the doors off the league a valuable weapon underneath… Texans will be a problem this season unfortunately.

Why would we not wait until after June 1st to lessen the blow if there was no picks we were getting in this draft?  That makes no sense to me

 

Cant the Texans take on a bunch of that cap? Probably why we're sending so many picks with him just for a 2025 2nd.

Insane take. 

 

Not really.  With Josh at QB, Diggs is replaceable.

 

Expect Beane to shoot for Brian Thomas or one of the top 3

Minnesota's 2nd in 2025. 

A 2nd is good. He’s no longer worth that.

So a lousy 2nd round pick next year and we lose our best WR AND take a huge cap hit? WTF?

I’m glad he is gone bur damn beane got fleeced 

Depends if Diggs was injured down the stretch, or if his game truly dropped off.  

 

He's on wrong side of 30 and once the decline starts, it usually goes fast.  I think Stef will have 2 solid seasons, it's fair comp IMO (also considering his contract)

[BillsDiehard]

We couldn't ask for Tank Dell as part of the deal!?

[Logic]

The thing that people always fail to understand is that when a player is on a bad/expensive contract, it always factors into the value you get back in a trade.

That's certainly what happened here.

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

Wow!

So right now when I continuously ask Has Beane done enough for our Franchise Qb..

Well right now,  we let our number one Wr go as well as a few key pieces of our Oline. 

We are not better off.

 

Houston will now be a favorite to win a Super Bowl before us..

 

 

[Big Turk]

So let me get this straight...

 

We got a 2nd round pick(the Vikings) and traded Diggs, a 4th rounder this year and a 5th rounder next year? AND just took a $31 million cap hit this year too?

 

 

Are you fvcking kidding me?? Where is the money coming from to do this?

Now we are like $25 million over the cap again.

This blows a huge hole in the hull of the ship here.

What did you expect to get for a 30 year old diva who had a down 2nd half of last season?

I don’t know, but hope that’s the case

Ha all good.  I mean the cap hit on this gross, really surprised they did pulled the trigger this year, it makes me wonder if something happened behind the scenes that is gonna come out after the fact.

 

Stephen A said he knows for a fact Diggs wanted out.

[MJS]

Wow. I'm stunned.he must have been too much of an issue to keep. That's the only reason you take on the crazy cap hit.

Well, that for sure tell you they are trading away next years 1st rounder to move up this year.

 

So move on to top 10 to get one of the big 3 WRs - what’s that cost?

No he didnt. Sam Darnold or JJ McCarthy is starting for the Vikings. He’s getting essentially a very early 2nd rounder for a 30 year old declining WR who is a pain in the ass

I thought for sure he was hurt....
