Bills should cut their losses and trade Allen to the Panthers. Time that Carolina to Buffalo pipeline goes the other way.

I’ll take Diggs for a 2025 2nd and the Bills eating $30m of cap space, gently caress it.

Bills are eating it this year but next year he will be completely off the books and they'll have $19m more in cap space.

Diggs has been a malcontent and a malingerer recently, from what I can tell. Just kind of bad vibes in the locker room. Thinks he's open on every play, throwing up the hand but in fact he isn't. Terrible body language if he doesn't get the ball. Fought with and criticized teammates and staff. Said things in the media and online that were kinda snarky. Doesn't take responsibility. More importantly maybe, he started playing more poorly and almost single handedly ruined two drives in their most recent playoff loss, with two drops including a potential 55 yarder, and a fumble. Started dropping passes frequently, actually. Was apparently taking himself out of the game multiple times late last season. Basically a very similar story as in Minnesota. I like the guy, I think he certainly has plenty more to give, but this move doesn't surprise me at all even with that huge dead cap hit. I wouldn't give him a super long contract because it seems like there is sort of a time limit, say two years, after which he starts getting unhappy with things.

This is what makes me very excited for Diggs: I think DeMeco can get him to buy into what he is trying to build. If we can get a year or two of good production and minimal off field bs then I think could make the Texans very dangerous. I also do not believe this trade precludes Collins getting an extension done.

If I were in the front office I'd be hitting the gas too. Stroud with (a healthy and tryharding asterisk asterisk asterisk) Diggs, Nico, Tank will be nasty. And uh Joe Mixon I guess. Zero first round picks is one of the only holes you can poke.

Just recently, Chiefs and kinda-sorta Eagles won Super Bowls with a QB playing starter in their second year. This move weakens the Bills even if Diggs was disgruntled so it's even better for the Texans. I think Texans being this aggressive is the right move. Even if they fail next year, they're set up to go again the following couple seasons before they have to pay Stroud, Docjowles posted:Zero first round picks is one of the only holes you can poke. Even then they basically traded their first this year to draft Will Anderson Jr, which clearly worked out. Mega64 fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Apr 3, 2024 |

I remember during some game Diggs was yelling at Allen and the quarterbacks coach until they basically just walked away from him. I think that was the moment I realized he was probably done there one way or another.

Not even crazy per se, but just the diva cliche here's an admittedly too-cerebral guess: WRs (and to a lesser extent corners) are often playing a lot of iso/1v1 matchups in practice and in games. QB, OL, RBs, TEs, and even slot guys can always see - and often feel - their teammates executing the choreography of the play that they have a part in, while the cooperation involved in every offensive play (or man coverage play for corners) is a lot less immediate to guys lining up wide, so they have a different perspective on their role

WRs have generally been their teams’ primary highlight reels since they started playing competitively. Their brains are broken with non-stop fame and adulation.

There has to be something mentally warping about being one of the most essential pieces of an NFL offense, but also sometimes getting under 5 targets in a given game. Players need to have insane levels of confidence to find any success at the pro level. Running 30 routes and honestly believing you were open on 30 of them probably drives folks crazy.

Right. I think WR more than any position is one where you can do everything right and win on every route and then still have a "down" game because of circumstances outside of your control.

It's super cool when one of them is actually open on every play, like Diggs was for a time. Or like, AB's 6 consecutive 100+ catch seasons. It's heady just watching a dude dominate like that. I can't even imagine what that does to your ego

Quarterbacks have to deal with insane highs and lows. Even if a WR makes a critical drop, the stat still focuses on the QB as an incomplete pass (dropped passes aren't really mainstream enough yet and the criticism usually stays local *cough* philly and Nelson Agholor *cough*). So a successful QB usually ends up being these weirdo broken dorks that can tune out the lows unlike that of a WR. Russ, Cousins, Eli, Rodgers, Mahomes are perfect examples.

That’s Ravens Legend Nelson Agholor you’re besmirching tyvm Actually I don’t really know what happened there, he was apparently a joke with Philly but now he seems fine? I can’t think of any egregious drops and he was one of the more dependable pass catchers on the roster last season

Then this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO_xVprVYBk Hence why frequently when Agholor does something, or makes a drop or whatever, gifs of that guy show up, as it’s honestly the first thing a lot of people think of when his name comes up.
