I think the value on that is a little off.

 

Assuming this years picks (1700 for p5 and 660 for p28).  And also assuming the futures are the last pick value of the round (590 and 270), that value is 1520 to 1700.

Makes no sense here because Chargers need a receiver too

 

need to add the other 2nd in 2025 and MAYBE they would consider it.  Probably 128 this year as well

Raise your hand if you think the Bills made this move without the blessing of Josh Allen.

 

Keep your hand raised high because I want to know who to offer this bridge to, down the road from me, for a sum of money.

 

 

I'd go so far as to say Allen likely did more than bless it.

You sound like the sort of Sabres fan who actually thought trading Eichel and Reinhart was a good idea, or that they were somehow part of any problem with the team.

 

 A pox on your family for a thousand generations!
 

 

You sound like a Diggs groupie that is out of touch with what has been going on with the Buffalo Bills.

Diggs is COOKED, the trade was a steal

 

I remember those 7 days in between weeks 6 and 7 where Diggs went from a top 3-5 wide out to…..POOF!!…useless. The Texans are laughing right now. Josh Allen has weaker talent around him today. So the AFC is laughing as well.

Have to imagine Twitter was the least of the concerns. 

Diggs publicly throwing Allen under the bus surely made Beane's job harder than it should have been.

This is driving me insane. This is not how to portray Dead cap. It's THREE MILLION

 

They're not anywhere close to contending and DK is their best way to get picks

What are you talking about? The Bills will have a cap charge of $30M this year and no player on the roster to show for it. How much more dead do you want that to be???

Yeah no one can convince me otherwise.   He had to be sick of him

Off topic but sadly, there are lots of former Sabres that plain sucked here, got traded, released, or signed with another team that are playing good hockey elsewhere.  Guys actually playing hard instead of floating and coasting like they did here

Look at the numbers. They don't lie 

 

The dude is donezo, despite your caterwauling.

I'd like to add Miller's dead cap to it and get rid of all the dead weight

Pay a little more and get MHJ.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Go up and get Harrison. Just deal with what it costs. We are trying to win a Super Bowl. Our picks better not be high anyway.

That’s not what your mom is going to look like in Sept.*

 

 

(* I apologize, appo.  That was completely uncalled for, out of line and I am just excited by the events of the day.  Plus my mom passed away more than 20 years ago so I both project and get envious.)

 

plus I do the mom joke way too much.

 

…not saying I’ll stop, but that I do it too much.

You sound like the sort that is unaware of how toxic Eichel and Diggs were.  The proof of the pie is in the eating. If you have any doubt about it, just how toxic must a player be to trade a guy like Diggs for a future second round pick and take the cap hit that the team is taking.

 

P.S. As for Reinhart, he had an expiring contract and was traded at the deadline. Different situation. I presume you already knew that. He also did not burn his bridges.

You don't think I understand that figure of speech, sour grapes? Well, you're wrong about that. That's a stone fact.

 

It's a stone fact that defenders don't always tell the truth about how they covered a guy.

 

Diggs had safeties coming over the top of him all year long, even if it wasn't man to man. And why not? He was by far our best WR.

 

In this year's playoff game against the Chiefs, it's a fact that on the play with 5:47 in the 4th quarter he had two guys within a step or to of him and Josh threw it to him anyway, that on the 4th down completion to Shakir on the left at 4:45, Diggs is the only guy on the right side or going there and when Shakir cuts back the guy who ran with him is staring right at Diggs, the only guy on that side and he doesn't notice Shakir cut back until way too late. Man-to-man coverage and Diggs ends up with two guys around him, Shakir none.

 

It's a fact that on the next pass play, at 3:19 and 3rd and 4 Diggs is alone on the right side, tight to the line and they've got trips on the left. The safety on the left comes down to cover one of the trips, leaving one safety deep. Diggs collects his CB, an LB who heads towards him despite him being the only guy on that side, and the deep safety stays in the middle, leaving a ton of room for Sherfield to convert. Here:

 

 

And those four around him don't include the safety still on Diggs' side behind all these guys.

 

I mean, I guess the Chiefs don't consider this double teaming, since they didn't do that? Again, Diggs was the only receiver on that side.

 

I went to watch the crucial drive at the end, the one that ended with the missed field goal. I watched specifically the first few plays and described above. The coverage was absolutely focused on Diggs.

 

That's a fact.

 

Diggs running into coverage isn't always double teaming....
