Blockbuster: Bills are finalizing a trade to send four-time Pro-Bowl WR Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans for draft-pick compensation, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/5tIJGkve6t
Kincaid is the only guy they have that scares me even a little. Shakir and Samuel are solid, but a little redundant as both are better out the slot.
So if you're assuming whatever rookie they draft steps right in and is a day 1 stud? Sure, but things rarely work out that way, and Mitchell/BTJ are guys that might need some time/development. [Reply]

Diggs was bad the 2nd half of the season. He looked washed. And the Bills were winning despite him. He was also a massive headache for them.
They paid him to be a difference maker and make these plays. Not alligator arm them.

His production was way down for sure, but defenses still had to account for him and double team or put their best corner on him.
Again, it's not even just Diggs. They lost their 2 best WRs from the last few years.
You can pretend that's nothing if you want, but that's just silly. If Samuel and Shakir were our top 2 WRs going into the season, we'd be shitting our pants.
I'm not even saying they can't be good. My original point that you argued against was that Allen is going to have to use his legs a lot. I don't see how you can argue against that. [Reply]

They can take a chance on him this year and hope it makes their offense unstoppable. If it doesn't work out, they can cut him after this season for only the dead money above.
They probably figured it was a risk worth taking this year to try and make a run in the playoffs. :-)
Ah, ok. I missed this part. Makes much more sense now I guess if they don't plan on keeping him? Otherwise, keep on getting rid of that cap space. [Reply]
