Eastport bills Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Johnson has Diggs’s attitude without the talent. If he doesn’t get targets he sulks and becomes a distraction. If he had any redeeming professional qualities, they wouldn’t have given him away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 On 4/5/2024 at 6:24 PM, FireChans said: DJ is $10M on the books for the Panthers. He was traded to Carolina (CAR) from Pittsburgh (PIT) with 2024 7th round pick (#240) for Donte Jackson and 2024 6th round pick (#178). Now, Donte may have had some value for the Stillers but he was likely going to be cut in Carolina, and he signed a restructured $6M deal with them after the trade, so he didn't have a TON of value. So maybe without Jackson to dangle, could we have gotten him for a 4th or a 5th and 6th? In hindsight, is that a move you wished we pulled the trigger on, knowing what we know about Diggs now?

I just am not a big Diontae Johnson guy and never have been. Sloppy route runner with bad hands and a questionable attitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The late round picks clearly had zero value based on the trades being made. I think it would’ve been a steal 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 (edited) I get it. Lots of folks would rather have a soon to be 25 year old rookie running back over a 27 year old WR with more career receiving yards than our entire group put together. I am eager to see how Ray Davis is used when it’s do or die in the playoffs. My guess? He won’t be out there while Josh runs in circles begging for Mack Hollins to get open. Chalk me up in the, “yes we should’ve” camp. Edited May 10 by FireChans 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Bills do need a WR to drop catches now that Gabe is gone.... I also think Dionte Johnson is a good WR. His problem is catches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalk me up in the, “yes we should’ve” camp. Dude it’s mid-May already. Get off this Dionte thing and start naming other trades/free against we should have gotten. That way if any one of them remotely hits for their team you can “see I told you so” until the cows come home. Tyler Boyd? Robbie Chosen Meta World B Free Peace Anderson? OBJ? Hurry.

Matt_In_NH Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 From what I see he has a $10M salary plus roster bonus in Caroliina and a $6M dead cap for the Steelers this year. Maybe but I think they are better off getting younger and trying to find a real difference maker on a smaller deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfandBills Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 He’s a good WR. Has some drop issues but he’s one of the better route runners in the league and can run. This just wasn’t the year they could take that money on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Even if you like him, the first sentence in the OP's post precludes the Bills from ever having been able to trade for him even if they wanted to: "DJ is $10M on the books..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
