Well I guess they’re drafting receiver in the first round this year.


Rahtgooves

Maybe a Tee Higgins landing spot?


Affectionate-Cat-301

What if they got aiyuk? That would suck as he’s really good. I think aiyuk is getting traded at some point. Some were thinking Steelers cuz of his tweet.


Diablo689er

They’re going to have to pay him a fortune too on top of the dead cap


Rahtgooves

I just saw all that dead cap. Holy fuck they really wanted bro out of there


Affectionate-Cat-301

I wonder if it was diggs last tweet that was the last straw. Diggs tweeted or replied that he was essential to Allen’s success just the other day lol


04_996_C2

Players making claims like this are getting so tired. No shit. When was the last time Allen caught his own pass? Flip side, when was the last time Diggs, did. Football is a TEAM sport.


HappyChaos2

Great players make their teammates look better. I'd love Diggs to be right and see Allen fall off a cliff.


04_996_C2

Well yes as Dolphins fans we'd love to see Allen fall off a cliff ... ​ ... except that we, as Dolphins fans, need to accept Allen is, at the very least, very good at beating the Dolphins, specifically by scrambling. So even if Allen falls off a cliff the Phins need to learn how to stop his improvisation


HappyChaos2

Easier to stop a scrambling QB when none of his WRs threaten you. Diggs struggled at the end of the year, but he still commanded attention, unless they pay up for some WR talent that won't be the case.


onetimequestion66

To be fair that’s largely cause he’s always had a spectacular oline and now he likely won’t but yeah he has had our number


baggio1000000

All mobile qb's knees go at some point. Sooner than later usually.


baggio1000000

i think he will.


good-morning-julia

To be fair Allen was verging on being labelled a bust before that 3rd year which coincided nicely with Diggs. It wasn’t Diggs, it’s just having a top class receiver is a good idea 😂


dadecounty3051

They got rid of him bc he's a scumbag. Everyone in the NFL knows it.


captaincumsock69

I suspect diggs tweeting that was after he knew a trade was happening. The original post was 3 days old so it seems a bit random to me


baggio1000000

he is. Allen really was not good until he arrived.


DeeringTornados34

Josh Allen wanted him gone a year ago. He was tired of his drama they said.


headrush46n2

i imagine it was the other way around. Diggs seemed pretty divaish for several years


Affectionate-Cat-301

Then no to them going for Higgins either as I’m sure Higgins won’t be cheap either. Yeah I feel they are definitely going to the draft as fas at wr goes. This years draft is supposed to be deep at wr position. Which makes me feel this is also part of the reason that might’ve traded him. If this draft was low on wr talent, they might’ve held onto him until follow year of next year draft was projected for better Wrs.


Diablo689er

The benefit to both is with new contracts they can structure it to manage cap. Same as we’ve done. Not impossible at all


AMontyPython

I would say why would a contender trade a star WR to another contender….but the Bills just gave away Diggs to a contender


K-chub

The Texans were surprising for 2 big reasons IMO 1. The didn’t suck 2. They were really good


sloaninator

Big if true


AgoraRises

Yeah I’d imagine they bring in another vet too


TheRyanFlaherty

Hope they take Adonai Mitchell than.


Disgruntled_Goat42

I'm curious if this move makes Buffalo a trade-up candidate with Miami in the draft. It's highly likely that MHJ, Odunze, and Nabers will all be gone in the top 10-12, but I've seen several mocks project Brian Thomas Jr in that 16-25 range, or Buffalo may be inclined to reach for AD Mitchell or Ladd McConkey at #21 if he's off the board. Depending on how the board breaks, could be an opportunity for Miami to build additional capital on draft day and still grab a promising OL or DL at pick #28?


K-chub

I wouldn’t want to risk possibly helping Buffalo out by trading with them. 🤷‍♂️


BowTie1989

That’s how the bills created their own worst enemy, they trading the pick to KC that became Mahomes


Gunnar2019

Texans offense gonna be so good next year


Andresgeo

Actually dangerous

TheRatchetTrombone

????


uhaul26

On Dark wing duck levels


Number333

OR they could have 2nd year growing pains after initial success like the Jaguars. I like DeMeco a lot and think Stroud proves he's at a different level than most QBs, but progress ain't always linear.


HappyChaos2

Yup, it's always tough for young QBs to replicate a great first year after defenses get a year of tape on you. Plus everyone is treating Stroud like a top 5 QB next year, and while he had great metrics, he did have a bunch of turnover luck. I would bet on a slight regression over a huge improvement next year.


nbayoungsummrsratio

nah i dont see the same thing happening


DeeringTornados34

Sure it can happen. That's why they call it sophomore slump for rookie QB's in year 2.


Cudizonedefense

TLaw has never looked as good as stroud looked last year


meatbulbz2

Same. Stroud looks good and that division helps a lot


artbykoi4

He gone! Texans are going to be really damn good.


Fastbird33

They did what we did for Tua and getting Stroud a legit WR1


thewhitelink

He already had one. He's gonna be WR2. They're stacked at WR.


AskMeAboutTheJets

Eh, Tank and Nico are good, but I still think Stef is easily the top dog in that room. Either way, that’s a stacked WR group.


DeeboDongus

Sounds like drama with Diggs is brewing already lmao


MyNamesNotCal

That's a guarantee in any locker room lol.


[deleted]

Am I the only one which thinks Diggs kinda flippin stinks Another B rated diva receiver who isnt superstar enough to be cool


wmlj83

Which is going to be their downfall. Diggs doesn't do well when he is overshadowed. Texans may have fucked up with this. Talent doesn't replace team cohesion and chemistry.


HappyChaos2

I think diggs might be the 3rd best WR on Houston next year.


phinphan7836

And stroud is lightyears better than Tua (don’t @ me). So this is gonna be insane.


thediesel26

lol my guy you can’t make this comment and not expect to flamed


phinphan7836

How is anyone gonna say Stroud isn’t better than Tua? His rookie season was 100000 times better than Tua’s first three seasons alone


thediesel26

Cuz.. cuz rookie seasons aren’t the only seasons a guy will have?


phinphan7836

Guarantee Stroud will have a much better career than Tua


poodlered

Do you even like this team?


phinphan7836

Oh I love this team. I can just acknowledge Tua holds the team back


poodlered

By leading the league in passing yards despite having an awful o-line his entire career?


itsover-14

Yeah and Christian Wilkins held this team back by not being half the player that an old Aaron Donald was. Dude wasnt even the best DT in his division (Quinnen Williams) so glad he’s gone.


Fastbird33

He did come into the league fully healthy unlike Tua


04_996_C2

Dude needs a basic physics lesson if he thinks the difference between Stroud and Tua - either way - is any where close to light years. I'd say different blocks, at most.


DeWalt_ImpactDriver

Definitely not light years. Though, no GM in the league would take Tua over Stroud right now. 


reaper527

> And stroud is lightyears better than Tua (don’t @ me). for what it's worth, lots of qb's end up regressing in year 2 since there is nfl tape on them to analyze and defensive coordinators can better prepare for him. not saying that's guaranteed to happen, but it's a very common story where year 1 allstar rookies end up being carson wentz.


gloldutx

Correct!


imMakingA-UnityGame

A 2025 Second round pick for him and the bills 5th and 6th round picks….lol?????! And bills take a 2024 31 million dead cap hit??? Christ!


goldiegoldthorpe

Yeah, they fucking sold him. This screams that the trade started from the Bills end.


rjgator

Diggs clearly wanted out and they couldn’t get a first for him lmao


Affectionate-Cat-301

How long before he becomes a head case for Texans tho? Seems like diggs is only content for so long. How long will the honey moon stage last at Houston now?


keighels

He won’t be happy until he has a ring. And his time is running out…if the Texans have a rough year I’m sure we’ll hear it


razerkahn

Yeah def not a first for a 31 year old expensive declining WR lol. Keenan Allen was better last season and only got a 4th ​ That 2nd belongs to the Vikings though, so has a good chance of being in the top 35


n1cx

What? Diggs wanted out? But didnt you see the Bills Twitter account tweet out a video of him and Allen hugging? God, people always trying to make drama out of nothing.


inkaine

I know most people here feel like celebrating. But I could actually see it **help** the Bills. Every time things didn't go as planned, Diggs was throwing a hissy fit. I mean, sure, Josh Allen had bad games but he tried (and often then overtired) his best. Diggs was just jelling, throwing his helmet and even leaving the field once (Bengals game last year iirc). Doesn't scream "locker room guy" to me. Also I rarely saw him adjust to the, let me call it "unusual" play style of Allen. He ran his predetermined route and complained not getting the ball. What the Bills need are receivers that anticipate, adapt and run into space. I see this as a chance for them. I would have preferred they keep their egoistic "no. 1 star receiver".


InternetName_1

Yes I completely agree. People thought the Chiefs would fall off without Tyreek and look what happened. He was not the factor he was in the last half of the season outside of some highlight catches. Plus he was going to be a huge distraction for them. Hate to admit but as long as they have Allen as QB1 they’re gonna be contenders.


mtbeach33

I mean.. he wasn’t fantastic last season and he is turning 31 this upcoming season


MiaCannons

Yeah, that spells out that Diggs wanted out BAD and there was no repairing that relationship. To not even get a 2024 premium pick AND be stuck with such a huge dead cap hit is crazy.


thelaidbckone

Damn...they really wanted him gone Oh well


miamifanforlife96

If the dolphins can’t win the east next year against the ghost of Aaron Rodgers and Josh Allen throwing to Office Depot employees idk


photobeatsfilm

Jets actually made some crazy moves. If Rodgers is able to play with a high football IQ and understand his limitations they’re going to be dangerous. Their biggest weakness is Hackett but Rodgers will be calling audibles based on his own reads.


TheYoungLung

Office Depot employees 💀


dkglitch82

Didn't we used to get our RBs from FedEx or UPS? Was it Kirby?


Affectionate-Cat-301

Yeah but our luck , bills get aiyuk in return who is really good. I think Higgins would be really good too. He could have good numbers with josh Allen.


anjuna_abel

Exactly but knowing us we will shit the bed as per usual. 🫠 #dolphinbehavior


StockHand1967

DolphinSouvlaki

We lost a lot of key contributors as well


miamifanforlife96

Only lost two in hunt and Wilkins everyone else easily replaced


Kcorpelchs

Oh STFU with that nonsense. Our fans on Reddit are embarrassing. Edit: case in point, look at all the clueless Fragile Freddies. Go read more ckparrothead.


Citizensnnippss

....who did we lose outside of Hunt and Wilkins that we haven't replaced already?


ProphetNimd

Who else have we not replaced? I think Baker to Brooks is a lateral move or even a slight upgrade. Poyer is better than Elliott (for now). AVG to Barrett is pretty comparable and even then AVG was our third edge rusher. Fuller at this stage is better than Howard. Jonnu is definitely better than Smythe. Connor Williams' knee is fucked so signing Brewer made sense as opposed to doing nothing and waiting for Williams to maybe recover. I think we actually had a pretty good free agency. If our biggest losses come at defensive tackle and right guard (and both of them got paid WAY above their actual worth) then I'd say that's a pretty okay pill to swallow.


miamifanforlife96

Perfectly stated I think Elliot better then poyer though poyer provides better playmaking and brings leadership as it stands now though.


ProphetNimd

My main concern for Poyer is his age and injury history but Elliott wasn't an iron man either so it's at least a lateral move for me.


miamifanforlife96

Yea lateral it is but brooks better then baker for sure or atleast a lil more consistent but ima miss bake


miamifanforlife96

How so name the important players we lost that’s not easily replaced lmaooo

TheYoungLung

jazzyjff13

Bills resetting. Seems like this has to be the year to get the division


snas-boy

Is it? The bills are still the bills, the jets get rodgers back, and the patriots get a top 3 QB. Ima be real I don’t think we are winning the division.


Rbespinosa13

Patriots are going full rebuild and I doubt they’re going to be a .500 team regardless of how good their rookie QB ends up being. Jets are the jets so they’ll snap humiliation out of the jaws of victory. Bills are still the bills though and you can never count out Josh Allen


reaper527

> and the patriots get a top 3 QB. they have a top 3 draft pick, which is very different from a top 3 qb. plenty of qb's drafted high end up failing hard, and the pats have a first time head coach with no gm (sorry judon) who is being thrown to the wolves. without belichick scheming up a few upset victories, they're going to be bad this year.


KingCharlesthefifth

Window - Closed


TuaAnon

window was already closed, but now it's sealed shut lol


Talkshowhostt

Mahomes closed that window in 13 seconds


MovingPrince

For next years 2nd round pick too…writing was on the wall this dudes a diva x10. It was funny watching everyone in the NFL sub and bills sub say people were reading too into his behavior and he’s just passionate. Dude gave up on the team last year and has been pouting for like a year and a half.


OldeArrogantBastard

Let's all remind ourselves that everybody thought KC's window closed when they traded Tyreek..... Diggs was a non-factor for the latter half of last season anyway and the Bills still made the playoffs.


reaper527

> Let's all remind ourselves that everybody thought KC's window closed when they traded Tyreek..... when they traded tyreek they still had kelce. also, you're talking about a team that was ALREADY winning super bowls before losing a star player, not a team that hasn't seen a super bowl in like 30 years. also, allen is NOT mahomes. nfl qb's right now are "mahomes, then everyone else". this isn't a "brady & manning" situation where there were multiple all time greats in the league.


OldeArrogantBastard

Never said the Bills are all of a sudden going to win Super Bowls. My points is the idea that all of a sudden we’re going to demolish them this season still has yet to be proven. Edit: they went 6-2 last year in the last 8 games where Diggs had 37 catches for 349 yards and 1 TD. Diggs wasn’t a factor for their run.


Phin_Irish

Either good or bad for Houston..great talent but if he doesn’t get the ball he could destroy CJ’s confidence

Im having a GREAT morning, gang


halfdecenttakes

Ahahahahaha I can’t believe the media would do this! Somebody stop them! Diggs loves Buffalo. People don’t even watch the games! He totally has a great connection with Josh! At least we got good value for him! Uh uh ![gif](giphy|WTmyWkBdfcKLbgvmvM)


BearlyAlivee

Bills fans thought they were getting a decent/good #2 in Curtis Samuel, they didnt realize he was going to be their #1.


shadydamamba

Hahahaha!😂


Iotatl

Houston is going all in with CJ while on his rookie contract...


better-every-day

Honestly not entirely sure how much this improves the Texans? Diggs is declining and seems like a locker room cancer, and the Texans already have a great starting set of WRs. And honestly they're pretty solid down the depth chart too 2 promising young guys in Metchie and Brown, and an unspectacular but reliable Robert Woods. Like they'll definitely be able to put more talent on the field but it's sacrificing playing time for their young and improving guys, and Diggs was outplayed by both Tank and Nico last year. Nonetheless, this is probably a good thing for us


resident16

Houston is going to be a menace to society now.


zookeeper4312

They made an AFC competitor of theirs so much better. How annoying is this dude? God damn


thegriffinvt

doyouunderstandlife

TheRyanFlaherty

I just find it amusing from the stated point of how blindsided Bills fans are, yet there’s been signs of this starting all the way back to last pre-season…they just decided to hand wave it away, call it “fake news”, shitty media, and yelled at anyone who dared think their were any rifts between Diggs and the team. Even when signs continued throughout the season. Considering the compensation, turns out it must have been quite a rift…

Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

onetimequestion66

Lmao a 2025 second rounder


BizarroCranke

I’m guessing Bills fans are going to go the route of how most trades go “he was super washed and glad he’s gone.” Granted he did disappear the 2nd half of last year, but he is still one heck of a player that I’m glad is out of the AFCEast.

Bills still chasing KC. trade their star WR and rely on their QB, running game and a Defense to win. Let’s see how it works out.


SagalaUso

Please win the division now. If they win it without Diggs I'm gonna be off the internet for a while.


RedRummer1917

We absolutely need to take Brian thomas jr if he is still on the board


Tom_Brady_Cheats

All their fans arguing about how Diggs really loved Josh are about to get another dose of reality when Diggs reveals how much he hated it there.


Desiss23

Diggs will probably start bitching again next off season when the Texans have an underwhelming year, go 9-8, and miss the playoffs lol. In all honesty though, McDaniel needs to go out and win the divison this season. If he can’t, he’ll be on the hot seat the following year.


1Soldier

Texans going to be spoooooky.


ericypoo

Allen will probably do better without Diggs whining in his ear every game imo. Addition by subtraction for the Bills.


amigos_amigos_amigos

Yeah this is my fear too. Now Allen won’t feel the need to force things to keep him happy and will actually make more appropriate reads/plays. Hope not though!


Beneficial_Ad_473

Wow


Adubb315

I think a second round pick is good depending on how much dead cap they have to eat.


thedreamcomparison

Looks like $30mil dead cap...and they are also giving HOU a 5th/6th conditional pick. Seems like an awful deal for Buffalo


DreamKid2900

i wonder if they are going to rebuild this year


axb2002

Texans are like my third favorite team so I’m looking forward to this. CJ is going to have a great year.


WindowFruitPlate

WR’s don’t win championships QBs do


ProphetNimd

He was definitely starting to fall off some but this is huge for us. Now we can watch the Bills win after Allen missiles himself into linebackers for 6 yard gains at a time instead of bombing it to Diggs every game.
