He was already losing his target share during the last seven games of last season, now he is the #3 guy for Houston, 

He’s above Dell so he’s the 2, honestly probably closer to a 1B to Collins 1A

Beane isn't finished building the WR room by a long shot.

I think he'll see how he does in the draft but if he doesn't get a number 1 (or a guy with that potential) remember:

The 2024 trade deadline is set to be on November 5. Lots of time to make a move down the road.

54 million in dead money this year, nice job Brandon.

I think Josh knew for awhile. I go back to his interview a couple weeks ago and he talked about current Bills WRs and didn’t mention Diggs.

I'm sure he did, I am confused as to why Beane feels the need to cover for him in this situation

I don't think that's accurate by a long shot. Or, if it is, you have to look at NET difference which is we take on an extra 3 million but clear like 27 million next year.

With a stud in the draft, I'll do that any day.

if so not for long, sadly for Diggs he has become injury prone over the last couple of seasons, and disappears in the post season, that’s not what one wants as a “ 1b” receiver,  he will be a slot type of guy for one or two seasons then get likely gets waived/cut. Age is a SOB when you’re a pro athlete.

Oh I definitely agree with that. He certainly could be supplanted by the end of the year. I just don’t think the Texans are ready to make Dell the definitive #2 yet, especially coming off his injury

When he never said anything bad about Buffalo or the bills while here

 

The comment he made about Josh yesterday was enough for me.

Hell yeah I am.   When Von gets about 4 sacks next year, enjoy the 60 million we spent on 12.5 sacks in 3 years.

Von is an albatross, any anyone with half a brain knew that would be the case they day they acquired him

I don't pay attention 24/7 during the off season gossip so I have no idea what was or not said yesterday

The 2nd next year was the best offer any team in the league was going to offer, Diggs is not viewed as a #1 by anyone outside of a bunch of stubborn Bills fans, 

I think the rest of the League knew they were dealing with a motivated seller … but I agree that his play declined over the course of last year …and he is not the player he once was … in hindsight they should have been trying to trade him 12 months ago …

 

That contract extension Diggs got is going to go on Beane’s Bad List with Star, Benjamin and a couple of infamous Round 2 draft picks

To me it looked like Beane had been through some stuff.

65 mil when Tre White hits the books after June 1st. 

 

A catastrophic amount of dead cap largely from the decision to give Diggs a monster extension and then trade him.

There are MANY posters who haven't a clue how a major professional sports team is run.

 

NO.  CLUE.  

 

Again, there should be a mandatory aptitude test for posting on this site.

Beane again very clearly stated that if at 28 the first round graded WR's on their board are gone, they will take another position and take talent over reaching and look at the 2nd to potentially add a WR.
